Rust on Canvas
February 5, 2018
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.

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
January 29, 2018
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….

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.

Friday greetings..

Miss Piggy waves hello.. a cheerful pot of tea, she is dropping in to wish you well, We have a bright sunny day here, milder temperatures too. I think I heard thunder rolling across the winter night sky in the early morning hours. Warmer air, passing over and pushing down on the colder air below.
Works for me. What ever you are doing, where ever you are going.. May the rays of positive energy bless your day today !!
Oyashikiri
You are loved, today and everyday!
and no, Miss Piggy did not follow me home.
