Inspiring Dr. Seuss

It’s so true! God made us each as individuals.  Let’s spend our quarantine time exploring those wonderful things we usually don’t have time to do.  What are YOU going to do?  As for me... continuing to streamline my online classes, cleaning FAR more than I should, lots of family time, gardening, making music and of COURSE, making art.

Frank Lloyd Wright Quote

This quote absolutely cracks me up.  I put it on a photo of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Guggenheim dome.  We’ve been looking at this impressive man’s work in my art classes.  I guess this would be an architect’s advice to ‘measure twice, cut once,’ huh? Haha!

Creativity IS Magic!

Creativity IS like magic! I put this quote on the portion of my paint pour that has the little bottlecap star. This painting is quite large and the star is only about a half inch in diameter.  I didn’t even know for about a week that it was there.  Apparently a bubble popped!  I WISH I could do THAT again!

If you want to see this painting, it’s on display at St. Luke’s Hospital in The Woodlands. :)

Inspiring Art Quote

I believe that artists of every type are commissioned to speak for all of humankind. I myself feel a deep responsibility to use the gift, and sometimes receive comments that surprise me about how what I created has so deeply affected another person.  All I know is that if I’m true to myself and true to my God, then what I feel and create will touch others. I’ve also learned through the years that if I stay true to myself and true to my God and DON’T receive affirmation for my work, that’s okay too.  I know in my heart that I followed the call and did the work, and that’s what’s important.  (my quote is on a portion of one of my paintings).

This painting is so warm it’s just what we need on a cold January day. Love!

Hands and Rembrandt

Andrew Wyeth quote on my hands.  ‘One’s art goes as far and as deep as one’s love goes.’  Very true.  Pictured here I’m holding a little terracotta pot which is a replica of the pots Rembrandt used.  We visited his five story home in Amsterdam, now a museum, which was a true delight.  I use my little pots for paint mixing and charcoal holding as I’ve never been one to buy something and let it sit to preserve it.  I think Rembrandt would have appreciated my choice. 

I worked hard to get the above shot; below is a candid one I took so you could see his initial on the side, and my lovely hammer, of course.

I think my little pot gets better with each use.  Anyway, there you have it!  Have a great day!

Abraham Lincoln Quote

Abraham Lincoln quote on one of my embossed metal pieces.  It’s so true.  It doesn’t even matter what you choose to do (as long as it’s legal and you WANT it)!  Just go for it!

Yes, I photoshopped this piece to make it look cool, but honestly, I think it looks better the way it was!

Einstein Quote

Einstein quote on my painting.  I definitely agree with this one! 

Cat Bird Painting

Coco Chanel quote on my painting.  So very true.  That big furry bird is not like the rest of them and this painting cracks me up every time I see it.
