I write periodically so I hope you will visit often My desire is for you to feel and experience the inspiration that is all around you.

The Dirt, The Breeze, The Desire

What a beautiful morning!
As I drink my 2nd cup of coffee looking out the window,
Overlooking my garden, I see the
Movement of the trees;
I hear the breeze as it passes by
And excitement soars.
I can’t wait this morning, to get out
and get my hands in the dirt,
And feel the movement of the breeze;
And I already have backgrounds ready to paint upon
This afternoon.
I am not sure of the design, I am not sure of the colors,
But I am sure of my desire.
I will know when I get started..
Every day I learn to see a little more. I am always
Telling my students……
“If you can see it you can paint it”.
Having a positive attitude and developing
Your skill of seeing is a real asset for a creative person.
I am ready to discover the day.
Thank you God for that desire.
