Those Daring Art Heists
I wonder whatever happened to those 5 paintings that were heisted back in May from the Paris Museum of Modern Art. I mean, I just can't understand stealing these treasures out from underneath the public's eye, only to have to stash them away somewhere underground. I guess I must be missing the bigger "picture" (LOL) because it's not like you can invite your friends over to your house for a soiree or anything, to brag or to show off your latest art acquisitions.Anyways, I am amazed that this drama has not generated more interest. The intrigue factor here is way greater than many of the usual headlines that make the news. In today's high security and high tech world, how does this happen? Not a clue left behind. Not a peep!Speaking of e
vents, I slipped on my old blue sneakers (Skechers with fading sparkles) this morning and took a stroll through my gardens, while the grass was still wet with dew. And before it hit 90 degrees. I was still preoccupied with who in the world was bold enough to pull off that art heist. I wasn't paying close attention to what I was doing when I decided to sample my herbs. If you like to sneak a snip of parsley or something, fresh out of the garden, you may wanna first look very closely. Yep. Very organic. No pesticides and freshly washed from the rainwater. But I just didn't notice those teeny tiny green dots that were moving...until well, ummm, it was a bit too late. Nothing has happened to me yet and the protein just might do me good. However, I do not believe that I shall be snacking in the garden again anytime soon. Feeling like I needed a large glass of water, and quickly-I still had to stop to take off my now muddy and wet shoes. Yikes! I had looked down and geesh. I really was not having a very good day. Blue Feet. Yes, one of my fav colors, but really.I still managed to take a few photos of my blooming brilliantly orange nasturtiums that inspired yet another little watercolor painting. Blue and orange are complimentary colors, you know. But sorry no pics of the blue feet!"Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important."- Ambrose Redmoon

Over time I've learned not to fight a lot of things, including what my art looks like. Today, it comes from my soul and I allow it only to be source of joy. It has become one of my essential ingredients for happiness.
