But understand this - the coward is ruled by fear, while the hero rides it like a wild stallion.” ― David Gemmell, Dark Moon The name of this painting is Wild Stallion... and yes it was painted back in 2010. I am stuck in a folder there and want to share what I can from it!  I truly have been painting in the studio, but sometimes I blog ahead do to commitments. Be a hero today. Live this day like a proud brave wild stallion.  In the Bible there are numerous statements about being BOLD and sharing God's word. As you live this day BOLD, do so

You don't love someone because of their looks or their clothes or their car. You love them because they sing a song only your heart can understand.” ― L.J. Smith Another archive painting from early 2010. Seems like I did a lot of backwash on the canvas and dripping of paint before it because so popular. I have learned so much since then and limit how often I do this and HOW I do it. I truly love the quote again today. Heck I love most of them.  But having your heart sing a song when you are in love and with the person you love is amazing.  I am blessed to be marri

My life has the tendency to fall apart when I'm awake, you know?” ― Ernest Hemingway This was a favorite painting from way back in 2004 era for a friend that lives in Mt Vernon. I love to visit because I get to see it framed and hanging and very very loved. Do you love sleep? I do.  The older I have gotten it sometimes evades me and that is frustrating. I use to be able to sleep almost anywhere. My Dad was that way as well.  Sleep at night is truly the beginning of the next day. It is the sleep you get that empowers you through the next day.  Most times you thi

The more startling and shocking news can be... the more they sell and make mon

There is only dishonor in not racing because you are afraid to lose.” ― Garth Stein, The Art of Racing in the Rain The painting comes from early 2010.  Takes me back in time because Terry had pneumonia severely and I was total caretaker for him, while taking care of the house, our foster daughter and painting full time.  I was just coming off of eBay with contracts with galleries.  I was not sure I wanted to share this one today but I really really liked the movement and the colors. Sometimes it happens and you just stare at

What you do. How you dress. The way you love someone, and how you talk. Your smile and your personality. What you believe in, and all your dreams. The way you drink your tea. How you decorate your home. Or party. Your grocery list. The food you make. How your writing looks. And the way you feel. Life is art.” ― Helena Bonham Carter The quote almost stands entirely on its own. Remember your mom or grandmother telling you "pretty is as pretty does"?  That is where I was going to go in writing this morning, but then I found this amaz

Pirsig, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry Into Values Zow... really going back to 2004 still. This was of a group of motorcyclists from a Church Riding group in Argyle.  Wish I had a better picture that was not so fuzzy. This is not one of my best pieces but it is in my heart.  I guess it is the state of our nation, or maybe I should say the LACK of the state of our nation.  I will not address politics, but I will address the growin
