Ralph Waldo Emerson This is a painting I just finished this past week for La Jolla Gallery in California.  I have so many beach photos from the Florida Coast and the Texas Coast, it is nice to have them for reference.  Water is my inspiration and my calm in life.  I can just imagine walking the beach with a storm moving in.  Makes your heart beat a little faster.  You just sighed in contentment watching the rain move in...

Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower. I had a client come by yesterday to pick up a painting. She is a professional... a doctor, with teenagers, soccer, baseball, a husband and her home. She stays so busy that I worry when I see her that she is burning the candle at both ends. I told her it took me to this age to realize only I could free myself from everything that binds me in my lifestyle. Somewhere a spiritual lights shines in each of us showin...

S. Lewis  Friday...this morning marks an attitude of Faith. Faith to believe in the limitless and in abundance provided by God. So often we are pulled down by fear or doubt in our lives as our faith is nudged and knocked about. Accept that these times will happen. Accept that we are to be tested and accept that bad things happen to good people. Well, they...

The growing years of that child will produce many painful situations as they struggle toward independence. I think of what Job went through in ...

The Spirit led me. Right now floating in my mind is a yellow background with pink flamingos. So how do I get to horses?  I have this thing about color...
