Change - Winston Churchill

There is nothing wrong with change, if it is in the right direction.

♦♦♦ Winston Churchill ♦♦♦

Life can become a tug of war between good and evil.  The game of life can be as playful as puppies if the heart is in the right place.  Then again some get stuck in the middle of change.....life then becomes a stalemate.  Play like a puppy today where there are no winners in a tug of war....where the only goal and reward are the shear joy of delightful play.

Puppy Play Time  Pastel Painting commissioned & bartered/traded for a new deck (labor & materials included).  The carpenter was a hardcore Alabama fan in (of course) Mobile, Alabama.  Commissions welcomed!  Thanks for Visiting!

Top 10 Weird Colors

You might just be an artist if....you have a 6' X 10' storage unit stacked floor to ceiling with boxes and you know exactly where that tube of Falu Red oil paint is in the back. You KNOW you are an artist when you have unloaded said storage unit on a Saturday night (because the Artarama is closed) to get to that tube of paint because you need it to finish a painting you are working on.....♥ !

Tuesday Art Blart

Alice Neel (Bio)

I don't paint like a woman is supposed to paint. Thank God, art doesn't bother about things like that. ♦♦♦ Alice Neel ♦♦♦

Cows - Vermont © Alice Neel  (1970's)

The minute I sat in front of a canvas I was happy. Because it was a world, and I could do what I liked with it.  ♦♦♦ Alice Neel ♦♦♦

Have a terrific Tuesday!
