Rust on Canvas
rust on canvas
1930’s
mixed media
abstract, acrylic, paste, recycled canvas, mega art stones, paint roller, textured Catalyst brushes by Princeton, layering, natural dry,
rust products by Art extra vagance, (Finnabair) made in Hungary
mega art stones -Finnabairn (art ingredients)
In the past I have used sludge from DeSerres (Tri Art) I spilled my last jar and have yet to replace it, so the above was done using alternate products found in my inventory.
To achieve a result, often requires more than one product, and when one ingredient is not available, if we are determined to get the result we are hoping for, we explore what is available, or easy access, and we experiment. It doesn’t matter if we succeed exactly as we had wanted what matters is that we do our best .. and try.
*** and *** that you are happy and cheerful while you are creating. Happiness is a state of mind. It is the journey that counts. When we are not open to every possibility around us at any given time, it could be a missed opportunity.
Seize the day, make it yours. Have a great start to a brand new week. Each day is a new canvas…Play, Explore, Live, take the initiative, be the first to smile and say hello.

Anticipation, taste sensations, nurturing of the body, Food, what is it with food, we can spend so much time deciding on what to eat, how to cook it, what will go with it, enhance it, and then for some of us, how much to eat of it.
Yet, when it comes to the health of our “mind/spirit” our day-to-day emotions, we allow others to influence and affect the “inner balance” of our personal “self”
PL calendar 3 . Use the power of your smile
A smile has the power to help people feel at ease, cheer them up, and at times, give them courage. Smile and spread your warm-hearted energy to the people around you.

cartoon found on Pintrest
Thursday doors 2.1.18
When you see a building off in the distance, you know you are going to get closer. No matter the weather or the road conditions on that day,
A simple structure, not sure what it is for, I wondered if it is decoration or for children to play in while the parents enjoy a coffee break.
When I found the door I was excited. Wow… it is all in the details.. rustic, charming, certainly a cheerful moment in an otherwise ho hum day .. (weather wise) My husband and I enjoy this park, in the summer, it is not over crowded, and the breeze from the water is always refreshing.
We didn’t get there last fall, due to circumstances beyond our control, so this was a very pleasant surprise. Put a door on something and all of a sudden, it becomes a much more interesting place.
PL calendar 1 – It is important to live in harmony with our surroundings.
This little house and door, fit into the landscape just beautifully. =^_^=
Maintain harmony in your lives, daily, harmony is the basis of a peaceful society.

Happy Monday
I confess to being a back road junky. I will take wrong turns or continue along a road, just because. I love to see the different landscapes, colours, building and whatever else cannot be seen while we are driving on a main road. Admittedly, I sometimes find myself on a country road that I had no intention of being on.. Usually that is when I find something that cries out to me.. Stop… come back, and I do. I pull over, there is little to no traffic, put on my emergency lights and get out.
In the summer or in other seasons where foliage and filled in landscapes, catch the eye, the buildings can go unnoticed. Not the other day, I stood on the empty road, and just took in the quiet, the different shades of blue/gray in the skies, and the personality of the building that once was.
Somehow the snow and the wisps of dried vegetation that poked out here and there, gave the building a charm, I don’t know would be there when the trees were in full bloom. Maybe in the fall with the autumn colours. Come September/October, if I remember, and IF I can find it again. I should check it out.
Time to find a main road, so that I can get back on track, do what needs doing and head home …
Today is a hospital day. Please keep us in your prayers, send positive, healing energy, we will hear today, what the doctors have put together for us.
Know that we appreciate all the kinds words, your thoughtful caring “presence” in our lives is truly a blessing.
Blessings be….

*#29 Be Cheerful and Easygoing
Everything has a way of turning out alright in the end. Relax and always try to think positively *
PL Calendar *
working hard or hard working
turn on the light please or open the light please
the date has been moved ahead, or has it been pushed back
does that picture have meaning, or is the meaning the picture
close the light, or shut the light
I realized that we were miles apart on that one thought
you really were adamant and for me.. simply, it didn’t matter
what mattered, was that you be happy, I let it go
instead, I said, I loved you….
and my heart sent loving thoughts your way,
you laughed, and that was that.

No se olvide del sentimiento: “Por favor”*

David Bowie on roller skates————————————- Roller disco dancing
Another time another place. I loved roller skating to music, feeling the beat, and if you had someone to skate with, you could waltz and two-step doing some pretty fancy stuff. I believe the David Bowie advert, was for a big disco roller event in Australia. I didn’t get to Australia to strut my stuff, but I did head for the board walk in California along the ocean. Such exhilarating times, you met others with the same interest and you got to chat and just hang out.
Now I’m told, social interaction is not allowed or thought to be a safe thing to do. When out at gatherings, or in parks, it is advised to stay in pairs, and not talk to strangers. I hear on the radio and television news broadcasts, always about shootings, robberies, and lately, accidents due to people texting or answering their cell phones.
It is common to show movies and have television series(s) that include violence, abduction, shootings and fights. And we wonder why there is a rise in gun shootings, stabbings and gang violence ?? Really?
Lately here, there is a hue and cry about the legalization of marijuana as if it has suddenly thrust itself on our society, ?????????? to my knowledge it was around long long before my time, and I’ve been around for a while.
There is a spoke missing in the wheel of “common sense” it seems to be all about stirring up rather than bringing peace or a state of calm. When it appears that the media, the box office – entertainment (movies) is always after sensational, or totally outlandish behaviours to bring in the monies or “ratings”
I don’t know readers.. as one cartoon character used to say “thatttttttsss all folks”
El momento en que percibs es la oportunidad
A chance esta no momento e que se percebe
The moment you notice is the best timing
Procrastinating will only weigh you down. The best time to do something is when you notice it. You will feel lighter both physically and spiritually. (PL Calendar # 19)

chop suey Wednesday
Good morning everyone. I thought I would start today to talk about laziness. Seriously this is one of my “work on it” traits or “flaws” Being a visual person, I woke to a perfect example to share with you.
This is a game I play on my iPhone when I am somewhere waiting, ie. for a dental, or doctor’s appointment. Now that I no longer have an iPad, having gone for a phone with a bigger screen, you know the size of the screen I am working on. Interestingly, the game on my computer is the same but not the same, my computer being a Windows format.
When I began on the iPhone/Pad, I had to start all over with a new café, in this new format. Fun I thought I can do something totally different. Off to the races I went, enjoying myself, watching my money grow etc. However, I don’t have the friends to play with in this format, but lots through the game. I digress.
Last night I decided to start decorating for the Chinese New Year, which will be coming up soon in mid February. *year of the Dog* (lunar calendar) The program suggested I take a picture to show my friends, I took a picture and sent it to myself.
To my horror when I looked at the picture this morning, I was assaulted with the glaring objects of my laziness.
- I didn’t clean up the floors before taking the picture
- I saw where I had started to change my servers and didn’t go back to make sure all of them were done. In fact, I used some from my inventory rather than buy the shiny metal ones that go with my décor ..( frugal and lazy)
- The tips could have been collected, but in truth I didn’t see them, again, I didn’t take the time to look
Small over sights maybe, but in my case, I lean towards lazy, we all do, intention is to go back and fix it, but as the days go along, and since it is only me playing, none of my guests to this site, are known to me… bla bla bla… excuses. After making time to fix up the café, start on my remodel, I take a picture .. and voila. caught on camera…
We just never know do we. this is a fun example, but it IS an example, we never know, taking short cuts, neglecting to do something “just because”. A camera never lies the results can be photo-shopped or edited, but lens itself, never lies.
PL Precept #15 All is a Mirror
PL Principle #1 I will live paying careful attention, putting Makoto (sincerity) into all I say and do.
Have a good day everyone… I will post the link below to the dymoonadventures blog.
