Shine Your Light!

"Those who are at times described as being

“too emotional” or “complicated” are the 

very fabric of what keeps the dream alive 

for a more thoughtful, caring and humane world.  

Never be ashamed to let your feelings, smiles 

and tears shine a light in this world."

~ Marc Chernoff

'Shine On" ~ 5 x 7" Matted Alcohol Ink Painting on Vinyl

 I love working on black substrates but the tiles limit us to a small size. This is one of my first attempts on mat black vinyl. The inks work good on the mat vinyl too. I ordered the 40 pack of glossy 12 x 12" vinyl and it's a great deal.  I'll cut them to various sizes - with 4 x 6"'s I'll get 6 pcs. out of ea. sheet for my studio classes. I'm gonna try it with my students on April 7th! I also ordered some black boards from Blick that I'm going to try too.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Have a really great day!

The Power Of Love

For the past month, I have been listening to Rhonda Byrne's Audio Book, The Power. I recommend it highly for those who are open to changing the way they think and deal with life. Through easy to grasp stories and lessons, it teaches how to harness the greatest force in the universe; love. Tuning into the highest frequency of love and gratitude will change your entire life! All you have to do is be happy 51% of the time and it can and will change your attitude and your life. Just try it for a week or so. Think more about what you love than what you don't love. If something is irritating or frustrating, think of things that make you happy; things you love. This attitude shift not only makes you feel better, your feelings, whether good or bad, like a magnet, will attract like situations, people and events into your life. If you are feeling good, you are giving love, if you feel bad, you are not.

Negative feelings come from a lack of love:

boredom, irritation, disappointment, worry, criticism, anger, hate, envy, guilt, despair, fear

Positive feelings come from love:

love, gratitude, peace, joy, passion, excitement, enthusiasm, hope, satisfaction
