book cover 11.4.18

Bonjour, Bom dia, greetings, Sunday 4th. November

Words are wonderful, words can do so much, however, as I wrote about my adventure to and from Montreal the other day, my thoughts were in colours. Try as I might, I wanted somehow to express the emotions of colours in a more tangible way. I have a canvas on the go too, but am not ready to show you yet. I am on stage 3 or 4 with this book cover. This will be my November December art journal, or Junk journal, whatever, which ever it is a book I will use to play “art” in.

That means that I will play with it, use it, daily or when the time is there for me, to interact with it.. and allow it to become. =^_^=

When we love what we do, or are doing, it may have its “opportunities” but we will creatively enjoy each step of the way, learning all the way.

PL calendar day 4 Enthusiasm will make things interesting

When you put your whole heart into what you are doing, you will begin to notice many important details and your creativity will blossom.

Rain on the 417

October 19_004

Bom Dia, Good Morning, For those of you who do not live in the area, the 417 is the highway that takes one from Ottawa, to Montreal. It is a divided highway, two lanes going east, and two lanes going west . The landscape between here and Montreal yesterday was beyond spectacular.

oct 31_015

The weather forecast was rain and more rain. Ottawa was predicted to have heavy rains most of the day. Montreal less so. When we left, we were not expecting a great sun-filled or colourful day. There was no sun, not even a glimmer or hint of sun. BUT the colours were out of this world. Brilliant, rich, full of drama, it was often gasping wow moments. It truly was mesmerizing, I couldn’t get enough of it. Never have I been so enthralled with a rainy, misty foggy day.

oct 31_008

My co-pilot was just as blown away as I was, our conversations were constantly being interrupted with our reaction to the scenery we were driving through. Sorry no pictures it was raining too hard, this is an extremely busy, highway. Suffice to say, it was often surreal. The rain was so heavy that it drenched the barks of the trees, so that they stood out, like inked ebony sculptures dripping with leaves of wet glistening golds, and often fiery burnished copper would stand out majestically against a stand of evergreens.

oct 31_007

We don’t go out expecting to be presented with endless miles of Natural wonders…. but when it happens, friends, you feel truly blessed. The ride home was foggy and we had the rush hour traffic for part of it, but the ride to our destination, was gift. A picture would not do it justice, we had to live it. Live it we did. What a day, it was glorious, yeah, really… that great. Neither one of us expected such a 3D high-definition all out mind-blowing show…but the heavens provided and we reaped the rewards.

Life can be exhausting, but it can also be simply divine, when you least expect it to.

Norm and fellow door chasers, there is a door in one of these pictures, with activity happening in the room beyond, You can see through the windows.. Actually there is more than one ..

Till next time… you are loved!!!!

two of me? or is there more

Sometimes I am good, and other times, well… I want to play. The picture on the right is of me where I accepted the challenge of wearing a bikini. I was nervous being half-dressed like that, and couldn’t stand still. So the picture is a bit fuzzy, but then that’s ok, cuz you can’t see all my fat and bumps.

These were outfits I made to sell in my little shop. The avatar is a Dinky made by a very talented artist in Second Life (Etheria Parrott) She has variety of dinky avatars to pick from, I happen to be a sealpoint and sometimes a lilac point Siamese.

The creative side of me can spend hours exploring the artist creations of others on the grid, and when not exploring, digital photography.

Q (that is me) can spend hours touring, taking in the sights and sounds, visiting different countries .. and never leave the comfort of my home office. I like being Q, she is fearless, she can do almost anything, she loves exploring and meeting people, and learning about the world around her. I on the other hand, can be a bit of a recluse.

Awen 2008 This is my friend Awen who introduced me to designing and building in/on a virtual platform. It was a whole new world, and I was open to the challenge.

Life is unpredictable, our creativity, how we pereive the world around us, and how we want to express our individuality, is all part of a whole. We are blessed by being given a new canvas every day.

Seize the day, make art!

PL Calendar, day 31 Your world will change when you look at things in a positive light.

Everything you encounter is an opportunity for you to express yourself. What you choose to make of the situation is entirely up to you.

the mist within

We leave a trace everywhere we go, it seems impossible to enjoy without some how taking or leaving something behind. Some harmonize better than others. A wound may heal physically, but it will never be the same, ever. Life does go on, we are blessed in ways that we will never truly fully understand, Nature will soon blanket the scarred and littered land around us with the beauty of fallen snow.

The fairy tale world of a winter wonderland, will lull the weary, allowing for time to recharge and erase haunting memories. Right now she is blessing us with a wonder of colours and vistas of raw umber and burnt sienna interwoven with deep golden hues interspersed with rusty reds,

Today, I am the birch, patiently waiting for you to drive by, tires rolling across the asphalt, and the quiet to reappear till the next motorized vehicle comes along. Please do not be offended, it is simply time for us to hibernate.,

Graffiti art

Segunda-feira, Greetings everyone, Bom Dia – What is art?

In PL, Precept #1 Life is Art and because we believe that each individual is unique, that says that each person, will have their own creativity. Their own way of addressing life’s opportunities, and deciding how they will express their personal creativity.

If I had cropped the above picture in a different way, it would have been simply a work of art. Someone’s way of making a statement, expressing their “need” at the time. Because it was done on someone elses’ property, we call it graffiti, The person expressed themselves but at the expense of a neighbour or the city . “Art” in this case, the act of expression, made or makes a statement beyond the person’s creativity with a paint can, it says that this person has a disregard for his /her neighbour’s or communities property.

We all make choices, each and every moment of the day. At the end of the day, only you know if your true intentions were expressed, or if you made choices that perhaps could have been expressed in a different way.

PL Calendar 29 Be cheerful and easy-going. Everything has a way of turning out alright in the end. Relax and always try to think positively

Quiet Sunday

Good morning, bom Domingo I’ve pulled up this picture again, because when I look at it, I feel a calm. It reminds me of something that I just can’t put my finger on. *magic* I imagine small dainty like figures in white flowing chiffon gowns, garlands in their hair, twinkling laughter floating through the air, while they whirl and twirl to some imaginary music, that is unheard with my earth-bound hearing. Is it an enchanted circle, could be,.

I will be doing special prayers today, for members, their families and you my friends, near and far. When sharing with you, the enchanted circle is within reach, we will bid farewell to the summer that was, and fly happily into the next chapter of our lives.

Love, appreciation & gratitude that is shared, is a true blessing indeed.

Oyashikiri

Go in peace today, feel the spirits of the Universe carry you forward in a halo of light.

colour,col

Bom Dia, Saturday has rolled around again. I thought to share some of the colours I have captured in the last few weeks of roaming

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. I couldn’t resist driving over to the other end of the parking lot to discover the myriad of colours I could see.

I am sure everyone was wondering what this elderly lady was doing behind the liquor store with her camera. But I was having fun, and isn’t that what life is all about.

The other day I was trying to explain that I am not a photographer, but an artist that uses her camera to capture textures and moods, that I can reuse, recycle into one of my expressions. Whatever right.. it is my fun, my hobby, and I love it. Just like I enjoyed trekking the harvested cranberry fields the other day in the rain.

Theses are trash bins I found in Chinatown the other day. My son and I had a philosophical conversation last night about life. It is always interesting to listen and learn from someone who has a different perspective on life. We take turns in being the grown up. LOL today’s PL Calendar, says it all.

Day 27 Put all your efforts into the NOW. You can only do your best right this moment, not in the past, not n the future, but now.

Thursday Doors

Happy Thursday everyone.. Bom dia.

Some doorways have a very open and spacious entrance. Others are more “this is what you get” and the tenants do their best to make it welcoming.

Then you leave the town and head out into the open country, the sights and sounds are very different. Yet always there are doors.

I got a tad turned around in my outing yesterday, found myself south when I should have been heading east. Ah who cared, I was out exploring and best of all, the sights of the fall colours was awesome. Meet my new friends…

He was a brilliant conversationalist, (both males) the blonde was less talkative. Sigh pleasures come from the most unexpected places. =^_^=

Remember, we are all responsible for the choices we make in life. Take time today to swing your happy into high gear. Happiness is a powerful positive energy.

PL Calendar day 25…. If you skimp on the paint, your painting will not turn out well. Live a fulfilled life every day by utilizing things, money, your knowledge or energy to their fullest.

My love and gratitude to you all.

Oyashikiri

Uma maravilhosa quinta feira a todos…
