Indulgences

I really savor those moments when your breath hitches in your throat. Sounds indulgent, I know. But let me set the scene for you.... It was probably to be the last major snow fall of the season. The accumulation was that wet, heavy, great snowball making kind. Stacked high, one on top of the other, each snowflake was precariously perched on the tree limbs. A magnificent sight on a windy road, especially when no other car or humanity was in sight.
There are lots of incredible miracles in the world . My mind goes numb when I think of no two snowflakes being the same and the trillions of trillions of them that have rained down on the world over creation. I actually have to suppress a giggle as I release the tension from trying to fathom the total number. My calculations are instantly  interrupted as I switch to ponder the awesome power of God.

"Creativity is the ability to see that which is waiting to exist."

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.

" The 3 essential elements of happiness are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for."

While my paintings are escapism, the real world reminds me daily of the work we have yet to do and the purpose that we serve. “To whom much is given, much is expected.” - Luke 12: 48

"Had lots of fun being a quirky artiste for a day! There was a cool band that played some great classic rock tunes. The temperature was well into the nineties. I loved basking in the sunshine. If you enjoy talking about art, this is a really easy way of meeting interesting people."
