Woozles under my bed
 |
| 8" x 8" Original acrylic painting on stretched canvas |
My dog Poppy is certain we have Woozles under my bed.
He sniffs, crouches and peaks ever so carefully. He steps forward
with brave intentions and then jumps back suddenly
as if he's seen a ghost. He's convinced me that Woozles exist.
They aren't imaginary creatures,
but real ones that go bump in the night.
Sometimes I can hear them too... They sound kind of cute...
The little cooing noise they make sounds like
a combination of a playful toddler and a pigeon?
They have magic powers and can make themselves invisible.
I've discovered if I close my eyes I can communicate with them
telepathically. Woozles aren't afraid of you if you if you aren't
scared of them. When we share happy thoughts together they
appear in my minds eye and I can see every little detail,
including their feathers.
So next time you hear a tap or bump under your bed at night,
don't fear them....
They just want to play hide-and-seek.

Silence...........

"We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and
restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature.... trees,
flowers, and grass grows in silence; see the stars, the moon
and the sun, how they move in silence....
We need silence to be able to touch souls."
Mother Teresa Quote

Finding Zen
 |
| "Zen" Original mixed combing acrylic paint and paper on a canvas panel Click Here To Purchase |
Nature has it's own religion, and it has a gentle way of
healing aching memories. I'm learning to live more in the
present and less in the past. After a fifteen month sabbatical
from painting I'm forcing myself to pick up a paint brush again. Honestly,
I made a failed attempt at painting four pieces for an art challenge
last year. I will call them "the ugly teacup series"..... Hiccup
I believe people have the power to manifest there own reality....., and so
as I am learning the ability within my mind to do this I have come to
understand that an alchemist cannot achieve much by being idle.
This particular painting was done about three years ago. I wasn't
secure with it at the time, but looking at it now with a new
perspective. I see it, and I hear it.... It's time to move on.......

SOLOMON
 |
| "A good name is rather to be chosen than riches" King Solomon Quote |
"I would like you to paint my mother's black cat.
His name is "Solomon."
Liz, a total stranger at that
moment of inquiry asked. A black cat is a very challenging animal to
paint. Finding light, and shadows in
black requires a wizard's eye. So when Liz asked me to paint a black cat my
stomach twitched, but then she said his name...., and my
heart listened. I connected with not
only his name, but with his spirit....
I feel honored to have been chosen to paint him.
I feel honored to have been chosen to paint him.
He definitely was a king in
his past life....

Be Happy :)
 |
| SOLD! |
It's been nearly a year since I painted something new. Life has been challenging, and packed full of hardship. A few years ago I opened a fortune cookie to unveil my winning ticket. It read, "Happiness is a choice." Simple little words that have continued to pop in my head when I have a low day. There is always, always something to be thankful for..... Gratitude is a magical solution. It reveals good intentions, good memories, and the little things one should never forget. Each day I choose to be happy because I can. :)

The negotiation..........?
 |
| Original acrylic painting on a salvaged wood cabinet door SOLD! |
I'm not a strong negotiator. However I'm a peacemaker, so I suppose it's a mixed contradiction of thoughts. There are times in my life when I have thought to myself, "I talked myself out of that one." Like when I divulged a meticulous plan with my two cousins to decorate my parent's front lawn with extra soft toilet paper. I convinced my mother it must have been our sneaky neighbors. Many years later the truth came out, and I confessed in a heap of laughter. "I'm sorry to all of my neighbors whom may have been caught up in the cross-fire.

Meditating on the positive things in my life, even if it is the smallest thing gives me strength and helps me to persevere over the negative. No matter how dark my day may feel, I have the power to bring a little sunshine into it!
Gratitude
 Original acrylic painting completed Thanksgiving day 2014 "Gratitude turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity...it makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow." Melody Beattie Quote |

Child's Play
