There are always flowers for those who want to see them. ~ Henri Matisse

We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature – trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence… We need silence to be able to touch souls. ~ Mother Teresa

Take a look at all the great artwork created today in  Leslie Saeta’s January 30 Paintings In 30 Days Challenge. There are over 900 artists participating, from all over the world. You can also take a look at some of my favorites on my Pinterest board.

Thanks for stopping by! Thanks for your comments… they are like flowers in my inbox!

Happy Joyful New Year!

Today is the first day… of the rest of the month!

It is time for Leslie Saeta’s January 30 Paintings In 30 Days Challenge.  Here is my Day One, a GIF for you. Three slides only. I added flecks of color, and then a few long strokes of pastel. Subtle. No title yet.

HAPPY SUPERCALIFRAGILISTIC 2015 to you! May all your days be blessed!

The Votes Are In

Here are your top four favorite postcards. I tallied all the likes, shares and comments. Thanks so much everyone for sharing your thoughts!

Red will be in the outgoing mail tomorrow, bound for The Luhring Augustine Gallery in New York city for the Visual Aids 17th ANNUAL POSTCARDS FROM THE EDGE. All proceeds support the work of Visual AIDS. Visual AIDS utilizes art to fight AIDS by provoking dialogue, supporting HIV+ artists and preserving a legacy – because AIDS IS NOT OVER. Each card  in the show will be priced at $85.

This card looks the most “New York” to me. That put it on my list of favorites, but I prefer the second and third choice. The benefit is not until February, but I will let you know as soon as I find out if it has sold.  (Both of my earlier cards did sell.) Here it is signed:
