The Ultimate Teacher

"Nature is man's teacher.  She unfolds her treasures 

to his search, unseals his eye, illuminates his mind, 

and purifies his heart.  An influence breathes from 

all the sights and sounds of her existence." 

~ Alfred Billings Street

Follow Your Intuition

“Our bodies have five senses: 

touch, smell, taste, sight, hearing. 

But not to be overlooked are the senses of our souls;
 intuition, peace, foresight, trust, empathy. 

The differences between people lie 

in their use of these senses; 

most people don't know anything 

about the inner senses while a few

rely on them just as they rely on their physical senses 

 and in fact probably even more.”
~ C. JoyBell

The Heartache

"When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, 

and you shall see that in truth you are weeping 

for that which has been your delight."

Weep For Delight

I have been kind of numb today. Functioning at 1/2 power, it is with a heavy heart that I say good-by to my dear friend, Lee Gates. A long time friend and student, she passed from this world last night. I will miss her company, love, energy and laughter so much.

"Unless you try to do something beyond 

what you have already mastered, 

you will never grow." 

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

"The only way that we can live, is if we grow. 
The only way that we can grow is if we change. 
The only way that we can change is if we learn. 
The only way we can learn is if we are exposed. 
And the only way that we can become exposed 
is if we throw ourselves out into the open."

Never Stop Growing

"The only way that we can live, is if we grow. 

 The only way that we can grow is if we change. 

The only way that we can change is if we learn. 

The only way we can learn is if we are exposed. 

And the only way that we can become exposed 

is if we throw ourselves out into the open."

Heart and Soul

I think continual growth is one of the most important things we should strive for in life. Learning, study, enthusiasm and mental vitality go hand in hand. Knowledge is not only good for our mind, it keeps us young and alert and is nourishment for the spirit, heart and soul. I am excited about signing up for an inspiring ecourse in oil painting and soul connecting with Dreama which starts at the end of this week!

"One of the worst things an artist can do 

is stagnate into a certain style or genre for life. 

It's all about growth, and the growth of the artist 

should never stop." 

~ Dorenda Crager Watson

The Key To Mastery

"A master painting has 

multiple repeating threads running through it. 

These hold the painting together and unify it 

in much the same way a great symphony is 

tied together by a repeated main theme. 

Variety in these repeated elements, 

as in music, adds interest to the painting. 

Repetition, variety, unity and harmony are 

characteristics of all great symphonies 

and of all great paintings." 

~ Barry John Raybould

I have been crazy busy trying to film my painting sessions, along with planing and editing my videos. All the while, I'm keeping up with the #30paintingsin30days challenge so far! It's very intense, but I am learning so much and seeing first hand how I do certain things, that have become automatic. I smile and chuckle while listening to my painting wisdom gleaned over more than 40 years. I never imagined I'd be learning so much from the videos myself, lol!
