dog days...

my great niece pretending to be a puppy-
notice her tongue is out
and she is in Zoe's pool.
and learning the proper way 
to throw and fetch
and just thought  my small angel was cute.
the dog days of summer continue...
i really must get back into the studio.

birth

giving birth to these women right now...
sometimes doesn't creating art just seem like that?
the process pulls out people and colors and textures and ideas
that you didn't even know existed inside your head
and 
'poof',
there they are waiting to be birthed and come alive.
well these three are going to need to be a little patient
after my painting a day marathon.
Oldest son comes to visit,
then we head back east and then school starts.
i guess i should start working on mixed media and ipad art ideas 
for those little ones too.
can't wait to teach them ipad art - 
know they will soar with those tools.
here is your quote for the day-
Creation is a better means of 
self-expression than possession;
it is through creating,
not possessing,
that life is revealed.
Vida Dutton Scudder

a painting a day #15

my last post in this series...
4 more large pieces coming to life in the studio,
but you will need to wait a while to see those.
Thanks for all of your kind words;
they kept me going!
We are in full summer mode here -
too hot,
but I am thankful so I can be ready when it cools down.
Blessings to each of you!

Do what you can,
with what you have,
where you are.
Theodore Roosevelt
If only I could remember this,
life would be much simpler.
