Hydrangeas
8x6in oil on canvas panel $140. SOLD
Artist Note
It is hard to believe
another year has passed.
I am not making any
New Years Resolutions
as I am grateful for so many
aspects of my life.
I am learning to be a
little more forgiving of
my shortcomings.
What a shame it
has taken me so long
to get to understand that
just like my paintings,
some parts of me
are better than others!
Also, I can correct, erase,
and improve
when I can "see it."
I am truly grateful for all
my blogging friends,
and to all the artists
who honor me
by allowing me to be their mentor.
I love painting and teaching.
They both satisfy me on a deep
emotional level.
I THANK YOU.
Wishing you all the
very best for 2017.
...catch
these
blessings
and hug!

Hi Libby - Thanks. Yes...can't help it. I have to paint to be happy. I love the colors you have been using in your collage work.
DeleteAnother beautiful piece and lovely, thoughtful post. I've often wondered why we are willing to be tolerant of others and not ourselves, and why we are so reluctant to take our own good advice.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, wishing you a healthy, creative new year full of blessings from unexpected places!
