Art Every Day Month Day 21 - Art Movies

Last night was the first time that I sat in my new studio and I loved it. I still have to have a big sort out and get the storage sorted but that can wait for another day....I'm just going to sit and think today!

My card for the day was Retreat (perfect card for the day)


it said..Spend time alone in quite thought. Clear your mind, and focus on your truth and priories. Are you pushing yourself to hard? The angels remind us that rest is a natural cycle in everything. Think of the mighty oak tree that grows in spurts and then rests. It draws nourishment from deep within the earth and takes time before growing upward again. It is important for you to nourish yourself with spiritual and emotional food. While you are resting, take time to reflect on your true hearts desires. Desire to make a difference in the world.

Art Every Day Month Day 9 - Numbers

11 RULES FOR LIFE ONE - Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully. TWO - Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other. THREE - Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want. FOUR -  When you say, "I love you," mean it. FIVE - When you say, "I'm sorry," look the person in the eye. SIX - Be engaged at least six months before you get married. SEVEN - Believe in love at first sight. EIGHT - Never laugh at anyone's dreams. People who don't have dreams don't have much. NINE - Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it's the only way to live life completely. TEN - In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling. ELEVEN - Don't judge people by their relatives. NUMBERS Numbers play a huge role in my life not one day goes past where I won't see sets of three or more numbers. It started at the clock I started s...

Latest Painting

My friend keeps asking for my Love Everybody painting and I just can't give it up yet. It was her birthday last week so I got stuck in, and painted her a smaller version. I think she will love it?

Art Every Day Month Day 5 - A mellow day for me.

Last night I was thought it would be fun to do different things everyday, to keep my blog interesting. I had high hopes of doing my creativity outside today but because of a snotty nose and sore eyes, I won't be venturing out there. I am going to keep it pretty simple today and create fractals. What is a fractal? A  fractal  is "a rough or fragmented  geometric shape  that can be split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole," [1]  a property called  self-similarity . Roots of mathematically rigorous treatment of fractals can be traced back to functions studied by  Karl Weierstrass ,  Georg Cantor  and  Felix Hausdorff  in studying functions that were  continuous  but not  differentiable ; however, the term fractal  was coined by  Benoît Mandelbrot  in 1975 and was derived from the  Latin   fractus  meaning "brok...
