A Painting a Day
Such an interesting day....yesterday was filled with good visits at lunch and then UGH digging in my father in laws yard bringing home bulbs ready to pop open with blooms! Also brought home two little oak trees and one pecan tree.
This painting is a passionate beauty and was a delight to paint. I received email last night from Diane Whitehead (ARTOUTWEST) with links to the dismal forecast with eBay. All of us wondering why bids dropped off...totally to ZERO. Has to do with ebay and Google duking it out and eBay's new adjustment to things where listings you put on eBay will not show up for almost a day and then you loose the freshness of NEWEST Listed. Those artists like me that pay $25-35 a listing to come up high in the searches are finding the investment is not worth the money. You end up only showing up in the almost ending searching, and only then you MIGHT get some bids.
Terry and I talked about it extensively last night and feel it is part of nudging we have been getting but still neither of us understand what the Lord is trying to tell us. I will be continuing to paint and list on Artbyus and a few on Ebay but will go ahead and prepare for two summer gallery shows in New York and Wyoming. I will also continue my classes and prepare my list for summer classes this week so I can continue working with my students. I also will be submitting my resume to a few places for positions that can use my training in both art and advertising. I guess thoughts of retirement are not here yet! Staying steady in my faith I will open my arms to my Lord and try and remain as flexible as I can be for what will come.
Today, Painting some smaller pieces, revamping the resume, cleaning the studio and lesson prep for tomorrow's classes!
Have a wonderful Wednesday and remember to give thanks.
Grace,
Laurie
My grandmother is embracing me from heaven. As I went to the Dailyword.com sight to read the thoughts for the day, I knew immediately change is imminent. Here it is in it's entirety.

Faith
God is guiding me to my good.
In faith I know that God is with me in every moment. Whether I am seeking different employment, desiring more time with family, or beginning new friendships, I trust in God to work in and through me and every circumstance.
I may not know exactly how events will play out or how my efforts will contribute to a conclusion, but my faith in God enables me to see beyond any uncertainty. God guides me and inspires me to envision life in positive, new ways, to release the past, and to move forward with confidence and serenity.
With faith I affirm: God is guiding me to my good. Continuing to focus on that realization in the silence of meditation, I strengthen my faith. I am then able to look forward to every moment of the day and the good that awaits me there.
“Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.”
