It has a fresh freedom both inside and out.  I look forward to working each day because of the joy.  Artist's are often up against a wall with fears and frustrations. I have faced it often. When Terry took down the studio for six weeks and I did not paint, I was actually afraid to do it again. I was worried I would not be able to do it. It has been a long time.  My meditation at that time was focused on peace and discovery of life in creativity.  As a person, an artist, a wife

Still on the cold side in Dallas. For me it is time to let go of the old thoughts and 'conditions' I place on myself and let God direct my life.  Putting the daily 'feelings' out there has truly helped. In letting go of old thoughts and habits, I feel a beautiful peace filling me. I take a huge deep breath and release it all at one time any my body relaxes.  I pray to God my thoughts, words and actions will be filled with what is good and desirable to pass on the beauty of this peace t

We talked about calling in a yard service, but this is the year we are concentrating on simplifying and not spending extra money, so he will 'do it himself'.   We looked at several products we have used unsuccessfully through the years until we cast our eyes on the new stuff out by Scott products. Guaranteed!   Proceed with caution....  The info said:

At home we are often off into our 'things'...me painting or blogging, him doing 'honey dos' around the house. I usually like going to HD. It is just a few miles and always a bustling busy store. Like any other trip, we parked in the lot a few rows from the loading doors by the wo

Others seem to empty us of energy and life itself.  Mother and I talked about that the other night. Back in the day... let's say at least twenty years ago and going back... people were different than they are today. Yeah yeah... everyone today is on a schedule and has an agenda list. Sharing is encouraged today as well as constant praising. Look at facebook and twitter. We cannot do anything without sharing what we are doing. We are needy people and very m

Would love some comments on this one if you have.  I read about mazes in English Gardens, especially in mystery books.  Things are always hidden in the maze. To those confined in the tall bushes and shrubs, they only have the path they visually see. There is no way to look off into the distance to see the journey ahead. From the path they have traveled they have a memory of what was

Still Snow on the ground? Is this really March?  The cold freezing temperatures raised the bar in the studio this morning. I brought out the powerful RED.  I am in amazement at the first week of March and the continued cold, sleet and snow.  Flowing from the top left upper corner is the flooding of warm hot sunlight turning red as it surfaces down to the horses and the ground. This beauty sold already. I had it on the Collectibles for sale and the first day it was up... it was bought.  If you
