Almost the end of summer and all the color abounds. Just the beginning of September, but I hate the thought of the flowers soon disappearing and the snow flurries starting.

I lived so many years in the south, and just never seem to acclimate to the winter, and being indoors so many months of the year.

But I think of the fall and winter and rejuevinating my creative juices and bring color to my world and life from inside. My love of painting, and creating is what abounds my life. I love my family and they too are the most important element of my life. The creative process makes for richness in the soul, at least for me.

I know others that are artists, probably share and know what I mean. It is a satisfaction that just can't be duplicated. It is the individual expression, soley mine, that no one on the earth can do exact as me. I mean there are good artists that can copy and do similiar, and I conside that a compliment. They are impressed and doing something that stirs the expression and art in them.

I am never offended by someone being inspired by my work.

I enjoying selling my artwork, that is the ultimate, when someone else loves and needs in their life something I have created.

I have been struggling with health for over 6 months, and I push, and keep a positive mind and outlook and never give up.

Keep always, everyday doing what you love and enjoy. Work is not work, when you do what you love.

Enjoy the last days of summer, and inhale the color into your mind and soul.

Have a great day and please feel free to email, art comments and questions
