The Wildflower Project

Have you ever driven along the highway and noticed all of the wildflowers? Have you ever wished that you could have that same selection and plant some of them in your own garden? One early dewy spring morning I was fascinated by these fluffy little grasses that were growing along the side of the road. Maybe it was just the way the sunlight was catching them but I do not think that I have ever seen them before. I was really wishing that I could have them in my yard and almost ran my car off the road. I easily drift off into my own world and am not so good a driver to begin with. Did you know that while she was in the whitehouse, Ladybird Johnson's Project was the Wildflower Highway Beautification Project. Guess that's why they call it seed money.

"For happiness one needs security, but joy can spring like a flower even from the cliffs of despair." - Anne Morrow Lindbergh, American writer (1906-2001).

-Author Unknown

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."

“First I dream my painting. Then I paint my dream” – Vincent van Gogh.

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."
