The meaning of a word,to me,
is not as exact as the meaning of a color.
Colors and shapes make a more definite statement than words.
Georgia O’Keeffe

Flowers are like friends,
they bring color to your world.

A little flower that blooms in May,
A lovely sunset at the end of a day,
Someone helping a stranger along the way,
That’s heaven to me.

Over in the blink of an eye. The Gathering. The month. The year. Only a few more days. And I still have so many ideas. Well, that is a cool problem to have. Haha.

A few more days, and it will be October. That is the beginning, of the end of the year. You know what I mean. Holidays, so much to do. There are several paintings from this month, that I feel are still works in progress. Minor tweaks or additions. If I am honest with myself, I probably won’t get back to them until next year. And by then, I might forget what it is I thought was wrong. Haha.

Have a great week everyone! 😀🌻🌵🌻

Art is a line around your thoughts.

To practice any art, no matter how well or how badly,
is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven’s sake. So do it.

In the final week now. Curious to know if your July has passed as quickly as mine. Haha. Choosing this 2 x 2 inch size was a surprisingly good idea. So much fun! I’m going to keep a stack of minis at the ready.

Time to paint!

Enjoy!

Don’t think.
Thinking is the enemy of creativity.
It’s self-conscious, and anything self-conscious is lousy.
You can’t try to do things. You simply must do things.
– Ray Bradbury
