“In your life you will meet shooting stars. You will see them, make your wish and see them disappear.” Nazhiar Ozar
The painting above is available. It is one from a few years ago and it is at The La Jolla Gallery in California. Painted to the tunes of Jack Johnson, inspiration always flows with his music. "Shooting Star is 32 x 48 inches of thick knifed paint and startling colors. It tells a story of life on the open range in Texas and the vivid evening sky, filled with massive constellations and shooting stars. I was listening to Banana Pancakes as I finished up that evening. Terry was actually making me Banana Pancakes and as I left the studio and walked across the upper balcony of our home, I caught a glimpse of a shooting star across the floor to ceiling windows in the den. I stopped and just watched it in amazement as it arched racing across the night sky. When I returned to touch up the painting after dinner, I added in the shooting star. Easy to title! Holbein Oil on Canvas, this painting is a contemporary representational abstract of horses.
Saturday seem to fly by today!
We were up at six a.m. Terry walked the dog, I started the sheets in the washing machine, followed by towels. Breakfast was a huge bowl of healthy oatmeal with banana 🍌 and peach 🍑. Outside we began tearing out some of the older tomato 🍅plants and harvested enough to last this week with more needing to be picked tomorrow. We still have not planted our lettuce 🥦or broccoli... it may be too late. 😕
I had plans to paint today, but God had something else in mind. We spent part of the morning, fixing lunch, and till late afternoon with out granddaughters. We had not seen them in almost a month. The youngest one only wanted peanut butter on crackers, the older one had homemade potato salad, Panera Tomato Basil bread and they both had a small ice cream cone. Terry found a movie the youngest wanted to share with us and then we watched the Animal Channel. Annie, our Kerry Blue watched it too! I was blessed to spend art time with the oldest as she learned Adobe Illustrator on the ipad. OH my... she is talented! We are all hoping she will return to painting again. Together we are learning how to do vector art for Our Crazy Life Plus One.
The youngest told me with a solemn face that she wanted to return to OMA school. I taught her Kindergarten last year. First grade seems to loom at home and she wants to come back. This will be a good thing for both of us. Not sure when, but possibly next week.
“Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is. " Ephesians 5:15-17
