lush, beautiful … soft, sensuous
gentle rhythms pulsate — in the tremendous
flight of imagination … that takes place
when I am drawn into that creative space
of canvas, acrylics and the artists need
to create the emotion that begs expression
all because my computer misbehaves
PL calendar day 9 It’s interesting because it’s different
Free your mind to consider other and all possibilities.
Happy start to a new week!

no tropical blues,
just simple flowing waves,
happily rolling in to cool
on a hot humid day
when no one wants to come out to play
it is just one of those days =^_^=
PL calendar day 21 – Let’s be thankful for everything we have rght now
Now is an accuulation of every moment leading up to it and everything that continues to progress and develop to become NOW. Be thankful for everything.

sometimes in a world of chaos, we need not understand, there are far too many elements
accept, let go and move on.
PL calendar day 3 Instead of worrying .. do something about it.
It doesn’t help to over think situations such as, What if this happens? or Things might end up that way. Instead, be proactive and change how you see and do things, in each situation.
Oyashikiri
it was a restless dream
I heard my thoughts,
the challenges from various sections
of my overworked gray cells
the unfinished sentences
the words of wisdom
clashing with aggressive shouts
the voice of reason was not to be ignored
throught it all
a part of me sat unmoved
was this nonsense
or merely me
unable to make sense
of the prattle and the inner voices
that when all vying for attention
at the same time
make no sense at all

PL calendar day 11 – Remember to be thankful and humble. Appreciate the Makoto (sincerity) of the people who came before you.
But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love. Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls Khalil Gibran
Day 8 of the PL calendar
First accept Everything
Life is filled with moments, sometimes happy and at times inconvenient. It is important to first accept every situation as it occurs and try to accept and understand it for what it is.
Bom dia!! Greetings on another bright sunny morning. Mid week already, where doe the time go.
It was fantastic day yesterday to travel the roads, the trees along the highway are starting to bud, I could feel the anticipation in every direction. The water levels were still very high as we approached the West Island (heading into Montreal). We observed that the water was still half way up the trees that would usually be above the water line on dry land.
Please take time to remember that tho’ the weather is currently dry, there are thousands who have suffered severe water damage over the last weeks, and need our prayers. Not just a few, but many people have lost year of memories and accumulated treasures, and are finding themselves in a place of sadness with weeks and months of rebuilding and hard work just to regain a sense of “normal”
Life is a succession of lessons, which must be lived to be understood– Ralph Waldo Emerson

Another mixed media done for demo. The idea with a demo of new and old products is to show artists, budding new crafters and seasoned expressionist how to use some of the newer products that are arriving on the market daily. Yes you an see YouTube videos but a video isn’t something you can touch, feel and at the same time, have knoledegable staff who can and will help if you have questions.
I know that there are many who prefer to deal online for supplies, and if you know the product, and the supplier, have a particular way of working, and are not going to deviate from what you know.. then go for it.
My experience is that when I am in a creative mood, or am working on an idea, I want and need my inventory handy. Part of the creative process in mixed media is to be open to new possibilities. The demo -before- during prep.. sometimes, what is down could be up =^_^= Abstract work, is lived in the moment.
The beauty of abstract mixed media… given the same products, no two pieces will come out the same. How perfect is that. We are all unique … talented and beautiful.
PL calendar day 5 Start by thinking “this is interesting”
Even when you are dealing with a difficult situation, it is important to find something interesting about it. From there, you will be blessed with wisdom and something new will come of it.

Nick, Mel and Craig rang the partially hidden little bell
Nick and Mel, sat down to wait a spell
While Craig wandered off to find the well
“oh look”, said Mel
both doors are open, front and back
“for sure” said Nick, “let us explore
Craig will find us when he gets back”
Inside they went to look around
Meanwhile Craig having found a fast running stream
decided to explore a little more .. will the 3 friends,
end up back where they began? Although they started in one location, each had his/her own story to tell when ….
Oyashikiri
doorways from the past………………… what stories they can tell.
