THE WAY LIFE IS LIVED - ORIGINAL ABSTRACT INSPIRATION

The Way Life is Lived was taken, by a backroad through my brain, from a conversation with an old friend from high school days.  The take away was, we gotta do the most we can to live our own lives.

The Way Life is Lived can mean a couple different things.  Are you living your life to the fullest extent?  Are you just passing the days, waiting for something bigger and better to happen?  Are you living in the past?

 You want your child to have the best of everything and a better life than you had, but you can't live live his/her life for them.  Let them fumble and fail, help a little in getting back up.  Show them constantly, you love them but don't live for them.  You have a life too and I hope you are doing what makes you happy.  This is not a dress rehearsal.

I could go on but who gives a ____?

Don't you think a Baby would enjoy looking at colorful abstract?  It is listed HERE.

Glad you stopped in.

DO THE BEST YOU CAN - ORIGINAL SMALL ABSTRACT ART

Hey Friends,  This new piece of inspirational art is listed for sale on my website HERE . You can see it more clearly also.

Did you hear this a lot when you were a kid?  I did on occasion, but mostly I heard "She's not living up to her potential" (teachers).  Now that is inspiring another painting!

Have a wonderful week.

SINGING AGAIN - ORIGINAL ABSTRACT ART

Hey Friends,  As I recall I had Beaux Jacque blaring on my tiny little player, even with a sub-par CD player, Beaux and the Hi-Rollers sound great.  I was singing along too.

Once in a while I play ADELE but I usually wind up crying and can't see what I'm working so don't play her too often.  Was thinking I would like to find John Denver on a CD but he makes me cry too so maybe not.

This happy little piece is listed for sale on my website HERE!

Have a look and thanks for stopping by.

PINK BOXWOOD - ORIGINAL MIXED MEDIA PAINTING

Hey Friends, The DLP's installed the new show "SPRING SENSATIONS" at 2nd Helpings Gallery in Roanoke on Williamson Rd.  This painting is hanging in the show along with a few more I will post about soon.

This is how it started it's life.  I gelled some quotes and words on to an 18x24 deep canvas along with a few pieces of hand colored papers.

I kept adding papers in the blue sky and the green grassy areas.

Here is a close up of one corner and maybe you can see some of the verbiage.  You can click on the image to make it bigger.

And here is what it would like hanging on your wall.  It is varnished and wired and ready to hang.

Shipping is free in the continental US.

It is available at my website FASO.

Repros and pillows and such are available at FAA.

Hope to see you at 2nd Helpings Sat. the 8th from 1-3 for our reception.  We will be painting and visiting with you.
