Art Every Day Month Day 4 - Painting

My creativity for the night is putting together a video 'A few pieces of my day'. It was a strange day, I had a bird fly inside and smash into the window before falling on my desk. Thank God Shaughan was home and he came to the rescue. Over the past week since the passing of our beloved dog Ralph, this place has become a bird magnet. We have always had lots of birds around but they are getting out of control! I also had to chase 2 ducks out of the house today, cheeky buggers! 

Here is my video clip....


....and a few photos.


Maddy loved painting today!


The finished master finger painting


The painting from last night looks better today in the sunlight.

I was reading Alyson Stanfield's blog about change and she asked 4 questions about work life:

Is it fun?
Is it a challenge?
Am I learning anything?
Am I working too hard and not smart enough?

I have to answer YES to all of them. Yes I have to work on being smarter instead of working harder. 

The Youtube clip of the of the day is Save the Arts! David Shrigley's animation. Thanks to 'icanrbreff' for sharing it with me today....

 

My card for the day was POWER OF JOY

.I had to take a photo as he is such a happy dude, I have a happy Buddha in my studio.


It said...As you allow compassion into your life, love's healing power ensures that everyone's needs are met harmoniously. Leave the details to how this situation will be resolved to the infinite wisdom of Spirit.

I have had something on my mind today and it reassures me that I just have to trust that it will all happen at the right time.

I loved the joy I saw in your daughter, and her freedom in expression.
When I saw the driving on the left side, it reminded me of an experience when we were in NZ. My dad was driving on the left for the first time. We were on our way to Australia, where my dad had an exchange pastorate with a minister from a suburb of Melbourne. My mom was very nervous about him driving on the "wrong side" of the road, and she kept saying "Ted, if I tell the children to look at something, don't look--keep your eyes on the road!"

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.

Art Every Day Month Day 19 - My Romance

I have a few topics that I have been thinking about but they can wait, 'cause I want to write about me and my man. In his spare time (edit by shaughan: spare???) Shaughan loves to read fiction books (only written by men), watch 'man' movies and play live and online Texas Holdem' (currently he is banned from this by me). When he is in a social mood he likes to drink coffee, smoke ciggies, debate about politics and play his guitar. He hates mowing the lawns, being told off,  putting the rubbish out, and that I'm always right. Yes, he has the t shirt and fortunately a great sense of humour! This is Shaughan's favourite photo of him and Ralph. Shaughan is one of the most talented people I have ever met! He can talk to anyone and everyone, fix any computer , creates amazing websites , knows all about rugby and accounting, leaves me for dust with his writing and grammar skills. He could sell any type of car or really anything for that matter, and has an unbelieva
