Happy land

dragon, start of.. 4.30.17

Once upon a time a dragon came to visit. “Oh” said I, ” what pretty colours you are! ”

“hmmmp” he said, “I’m just passing through”

So, I took a picture of him and posted him on Instagram, I went about my day and didn’t think much more about him. I was having a “dragon” kind of day, and really wasn’t that interested in what he had to say.

The next day, I was busy with activities that I couldn’t put away. Today was the day, so I had to be present and social in a “family” kind of way. By mid day, after guests were gone and I was now back home on my own. All I could think of was that I wanted to pray. It was pouring rain, the clouds were bleak and gray, but nothing was going to stand in my way. The quiet, tranquility of the church, the peace of love and community, was drawing me, like a moth to a flame.

Silently I prayed, my words and thoughts, came, they flowed, they flew into the air, the heaviness, the pain, slowly drained away. PL Precept # 11 Always be with God.

PL Precept # 5 One’s Self is Lost by being Emotional

PL Principle #2 I will not have complaints about others, matters, nor the weather. Rather I will always be creative and will look for short comings in my own thinking and actions,

When I came home, the dragon looked at me and winked. The brat I thought. I reached out and with steady hand, and knowing actions, his friends came to light.

Just like that… the dragon smiled, his friends pranced and I was smitten with their charm. My grin went from ear to ear… life is good when we believe and trust in God

life = art

wall art, hung 3.27.17

Art is subjective. Art takes on many forms and is never really something that people will agree on. Style, techniques, presentation, so many many varieties and opinions.

As an “artist” I begin with an empty canvas or sometimes with one I’ve seen at a thrift and want to repurpose. It is amazing how effective gesso is at wiping out what was previously on the canvas. In this case I covered up a rather mundane picture of leaves and shrubs with black gesso (Demco) used for oil and acrylic.

wall art 3.27.17

This little character started out full-bodied, but somehow, he didn’t like what was happening, and as other artists will tell you.. it wasn’t long before, he took on a life of his own. Happens when writing too. The story line you have had in your head for days, starts to take shape on the screen, your fingers are typing away, your mind is playing out the scene… it is all so smooth, so “happening”.. till you stop and take a breather…. you see the plot has taken turns, even you didn’t expect.

Is it “intuition” what happens when we are creative, when we try to reproduce the ideas in our mind to paper, canvas or other form of expression. How often do we hear the expression.. “life happens” or “sh#t happens” Sometimes it is super cool, great, awesome even, and other times, it is a lot of , darn, cripes, and %@%# ! Whatever, there is always a consequence to our actions.

IN PL we learn … that every day is a new beginning. We learn to be creative with any and all challenges /opportunities that come our way. Most importantly to appreciate the lessons, and outcomes of the day.

There is always a way, always someone who will help guide you to find the “way”

PL Precept # 11 Always be with God

PL Principle #3 I will live with a mind of appreciation towards others and things.

soft sensations

by darren SF area 2015

sea shapes that captivate

under water, far from the world above

lives a world of wonder

captured by a lens

so that we can know the beauty

that is not always seen

but is there non-the-less

faith is unseen

but is the strength and fiber

of our BEING

late night visitors

Good morning…. Bom dia, Obviously the playground I posted pictures of the other day, stayed with me.

Remember this… There is something playful about the design, I’m not usually drawn to bugs and the like. Yet last night I found myself playing with the liquid acrylics and delighting in watching the shapes take shape.

If asked to do something whimsical, I would be hard pressed to come up with something, I consider myself to be more abstract.

Oh dear am I in a philosophical mood today, let me see.. today is the 14th. hmmm Hearts and Flowers day. I can show you my totally not dry yet heart, cuz I’m trying a new medium that takes forever to dry, like 72 hours or more before it is totally dry and finished reacting with itself. Oh dear I can smell it, but don’t see it, where did I put it..

Sorry I didn’t crop the picture, just snapped it with the handy iPhone. That black stuff is something I got yesterday, now I know why the gal suggested I might prefer clear or a white. It supposedly contains the liquid medium. They tell us not to marry up with your first impression of what you do cuz as it reacts with itself, what you see will change.

There is a mixture that is very liquid, called Vitrail (pebeo) one that is ceramic, one called Fantasy Moon, and one other in the Fantasy line called Prismo. When mixed together they all have their own way of interacting with the other.. In theory if you know what you are doing, you can create wonderful fantasy pieces.

I am very new to this product, days if that.. AND no one I know uses it.. so it is a trial and error process. That black I got yesterday and is called relief outliner. All this to say, Good Morning, how are you.. I’m doing fine.

Today’s PL calendar (if you need one, contact me) says… Work Happily with Good Rhythm can you hear me humming =^_^=

Here we go, romantic picture, dancing in the Universe, carefree and happy. I wish each and every one of you, a day filled with love and appreciation.

Never give up on your dreams, always remember that each moment is a lifetime, live NOW

PL Precept #1 Life is Art

We really are so blessed that we have the creative ability in each and every one of us to be ONE with the Universe…. always & forever…

good morning

breakfast-2

A change was made for about a week. instead of my solitary eggs.. (poached) I added fruit. I had a hankering for persimmons and indulged myself. Didn’t help that at T & T ( Asian grocery story,) they were only being sold by the crate. During the Chinese New Year, this fruit is much in demand.

Lesson learned. I am not a big fruit eater, love blueberries, (in season) and will have the odd apple over the course of the year, but fruit is not part of my daily diet. The lesson, one should do things in moderation…. this is a lesson, I seem to have to revisit more than I would like to.

Meet Oskar, his human sent me this picture the other day. I have yet to meet Oskar in person, he is such a charmer. A morning smile is always the best way to start the day.

Merci Oskar, than you Oskar for the smile..

Blessings everyone, have a happy productive day, service is at 10 tomorrow, see you then.

Thursday Doors 2.2.17

1-30-17-leitrum-at-bank

I’ve always enjoyed driving by this building, on this particular day, I was drawn to it, the sky behind, the sprinkle of snow…. it was eye-catching. It has a practical use I’m sure, never-the-less it was “king for the day” in my day of photo possibilities.

A moment in time capture in a lens, without the surrounding buildings, or traffic on the roads, it could be on a desolate patch of land, in an abandoned airport.. Loved it.. Hope you find it stirs your imaginations too.

Happy Thursday everyone… PL Precept # 2 To Live is to Express One’s Self

lazy day

There is something to be said about a cold sunny day, when you can see the shimmering bling of the icicles as they hang from the roof edge. I have been trying to listen to the good advice from friends, “stay in, stay out of the cold, REST”, I think I’m soon going to be able to say, its been 4 weeks now! cough, cough, splutter, sneeze, wheeze and darn I’m tired.

windows-ice This is a much better shot of the beautiful sculptured ice. The sky was the beckoning blue that makes me want to be outside. I don’t care it is cold, I’m happy outside, I layer up and I’m toasty warm.. the air is so fresh, crisp and deliciously brisk.

Thanks for the great feedback on the Sludge project, thought I’d show you a sneak peek.

This is a piece of a cover that I was very taken with. I liked it so much I kept the magazine for ages. Doing these “Art” journals has given me a new way to display and keep the pictures I like, without keeping a whole magazine. Eventually some time in the future, I will add to the pages.. this is the fun of it all.. there is no rush, no deadlines, just a great way to have quality time with myself doing “stuff” I like.

oh no!

snow-dec-7_003 Oh NO! the snowman exclaimed

I’ve lost my head again

As onlookers turned away

and shoppers kept rushing by

All he could do was gasp and horror

as he saw his nose fall to the ground

snow-dec-7_002 all around as the day wore on

people came and went on their way

not once did anyone notice

that the little snowman

was having a difficult day

the fresh snow on the ground

made the parks so merry and gay

snow-dec-7_004 there was a shop down the lane

that if only someone would stop

he could tell them the way to find his friends

he knew his friends would come

help him put his head on again snow-dec-7_001 with a sigh of relief,

he saw his friends coming his way

oh joy, oh happy day!

you’ve come just in time

somehow my head fell off

and I’ve been at a total loss

I closed my eyes, and wished and prayed

and now….!!!! joy oh joy…!!!

ohno-part-2e_002

I can stand tall and proud again

his nose and smile back in place

he was ready to smile out at the world again.

ohno-part-2e_003

Life can get very busy, especially at this time of year. We rush from one chore to another, our mind always on the task at hand. While this is good, being efficient is always a positive, however, take time this year, to make time for your inner self, and for the friends around you who may not have the same holiday cheer you are enjoying.

Often someone really very close by or near to you can be having a difficult time. We fail to hear the silent plea not because we don’t care, but because in our “busy” mode, we don’t hear the world around us, we are running on remote control.
