void or

gimme bling

A black void. As an artist, I had a moment the other day, where I wanted to express that very moment, not think about anything but saying, Blah. Snap, and so what. Followed by many exclamation marks.

My eyes searched my workroom… till they fell on a big bottle of black glue. Ah Ha! I took an old canvas and began to just vent with the glue on the canvas. It was black and shiny that I dug out a bottle of cut glass pieces I had for dear knows what reason… and some gold cording. Then gave way to.. come what may.

Voila… t’is a black void. my sometime co-pilot, when she saw it, said it looked like “inside a sparkling cave filled with shiny somethings. enchanting” =^_^= I have been blessed with wonderful kind friends.

In the sunlight or under a light, it is true it has bling. Bling that winks and shines in a very cheerful way. This is an example of, starting out with a blank – need to just vent/express…. letting go, and then seeing the results.

PL Calendar day 9 (2019) It’s interesting because it’s different

Even if someone totally disagrees with you or does things differently, you may learn something from them. Avoid getting trapped in the mindset, “This is the way it has to be” and free your mind to consider other possibilities.

PL Calendar day 6 (2019)

Past, present or future, always remember to be sincere and honest

At any time, the place where you are standing at that moment is the stage upon which you must express yourself in relation to your position or status.

In any form of expression, there are often many components that come together to get a desired effect, or to form the base for which you are about to elaborate on. Even then, the presentation can take so many forms depending on the direction you are going at that point in time.

That is what makes life so darn interesting. That is what makes getting up each morning so fun, yes fun. Means everyday brings new experiences, new endings, beginnings, with each step we take, we mature, we grow. Our ability to navigate the world around us gets that much experiences.

Hey yesterday, I actually went through a car wash on my own, I know. Most of you have done it a zillion times. It was new for me. I was so chuffed. =^_^=

Have a good day everyone, bom dia a todos.

enjoy the process

xmas granddaughters

Good morning everyone, bom dia a todos..

Trying something new, with a new medium, I just wasn’t getting it. At least not with the results I wanted. Mostly I would get it out late in the evening ,just before going to bed, and have another go at it.

Last night, with time to spare, I organized the different medium I wanted, and used a different method of application. Voila the look I wanted, 1,2,3, the card was done.

PL Calendar day 7 – Don’t strain, don’t rush, and don’t be greedy

When you are doing something you may rush things to get good results, quickly . Instead relax and enjoy the process.

Blessings of the day dearest friends.

Here we go. Tim Horton’s in Ireland. No more can we say, “only in Canada” the world has changed so much over the years. What hasn’t changed is the bond of friendship that is ongoing, and is built and groomed with unconditional love. Acceptance, and respect.

Yesterday in PL, being the first of the month, we celebrated with the PL service of Peace. Every month, on the 1st day of the month. at 10 a.m. all over the world where there is a church, or a member of PL, time is made to pray for world peace. Through the service at the church we pray for World Peace and rededicate ourselves to live as a peaceful human being, in our own worlds, which includes, our home, school, work and communities.

When we love with makoto “sincerity” and dedication of purpose, we are blessed with love in our lives that continues to shine, forever and always. It is not measured in earthly ways, days, months, years, it is, simply life itself. Like breathing in and out. we don’t count how often we breathe in and out during our days and nights, we just Breathe …. Love should be in our action, words and hearts. Always.

Life is Art. PL Precept #1

Harmony leads to world peace

Well well well

Well,well,well…

Bom dia, feliz sexta feira, happy Friday everyone.

What is with the well, well, well… my reaction to a news story this morning, where one police officer shot another officer. Well, well, well, really, I can’t go beyond my reaction. It is stunner, perhaps because in my past law enforcement was part of my life, I don’t know. I have been away from this field for too many year, to know what the climate is like these days. This is life isn’t it, we are calmly going about our daily business, when out of the blue, you hear something, or see something, that startles, or gives you cause for pause.

Life is happening all around us, some we hear about,, some we don’t, other times, it is right before us, and we never see it, or know that it is happening. But it is. A reminder that we don’t know what is around that corner, we know NOW. For myself, I know that I have to focus more on the now, be focused/aware, it is a fine art, and one that needs practicing every day.

PL calendar day 30 Use your results to make the next time even better

Whether things turn out perfectly or not, the important thing is to take what you’ve learned and apply it the net time.

ps. my sister did the above artwork, I had not seen it before, it was one of her first attempts at working with a new medium. It is so colourful and joyful. It is giving me a smile, hope you catch it and pass it on. *wink.* Smile everyone, it is Friday.

Ompah

Sometimes when I need to remember a destination that still evokes the spirit of open country, freedom to roam, with an abundance of natural landscapes, I dig out my trips to Ompah. We would find what some would call a road, but in fact would be perhaps a skidoo trail sitting idle till the winter season descended allowing the snow vehicles to travel into the inviting dense woodlands. We ruined many a muffler till we got the truck. Such were our wanderings. The winter season would not call us back, the snow machines are too noisy. Although I’m sure that had the mood struck, we would have unearthed our snowshoes and tramped our way somewhere into the waiting arms of Mother Nature.

That is the advantage of the snow machines, they traverse land that is unseen during the spring, summer and fall months. There is a season for everyone. It is finding that bit of paradise. Each and every one of us, will describe our personal wonderland with a reverent awe, yet to another, they can’t imagine it at all.

be calm, be kind

Be calm, be kind without compromising

Hesitating to share our true feelings hurts not only ourselves, but others. While respecting the other person’s feelings, say what you need to say.

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.

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
