BLUE SKIES

Blue Skies... nothing but Blue Skies


Blue skies ... nothing but blue skies. Remember the lazy days of summer when you were a kid? How fun to lay and watch the clouds in the blue skies and use your imagination to see what you could make of them. Take a moment today and stretch your imagination, what do you see yourself doing tomorrow, in a few years from now, what do you want to do! Go ahead and dream, then take action and make those dreams come true. Set a goal - goals are dreams with a deadline. Make your dream come true. Anyone got a Paint brush!

My inspiration for the day:

  • Blue skies and cotton candy clouds
  • Quote: " To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream, not only plan, but also believe."- Anatole France
  • A fresh tube of Ultramarine Blue paint

Today I introduce:  "Writings by Dee".Dee is a most wonderful friend and paints with beautiful & truthful words. Be sure to read her  poem and let it inspire you.
 

Writings By Dee:

Master Artist


God, the Master Artist,
Paints each day in you.
Every stroke He takes,
Every Move He makes
His lovely Christ shows through.

May we be like canvas,
And have an open weave.
Yielded to His plan,
Coming from His hand,
To trust Him and believe.

We are a masterpiece,
When all His work is done,
Transformed so neatly,
Conformed completely,
Made radiant in His Son.
(c) Dee Hatley 2008
 

Dot

A daffy lady named Dot
choked on her food quite a lot.

One day during lunch,
she took such a bunch,
That out of her mouth the stew flew
Landing on shoes, now, no longer new.

What a sight to behold,
What a tale to be told
How can we help poor old Dot?
Who tries to eat such a lot.

We devised a plan
To be oh so grand.
We made a small spoon with a slot,
She now takes much less from the pot.

(c) Dee Hatley

NEW EVERY MORNING........



 
Colorado Wild Rose © Teresa J
New every morning….. What a joy to know we can wake each morning to a new day. This brings new inspiration, new ideas, new subjects which I may have actually seen yesterday but today I see with new eyes that which stirs my soul and encourages my hand to reach quickly for my paintbrush!

 

 

 

 

 
 

My Inspiration today:

1. When I awoke the song flowing through my soul with these words……..The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases, His mercies never come to an end. They are new every morning.. new every morning....

2.This photo I took of my Dad’s sunflowers this past summer. The petals on the left remind me of dancers, dancing in the light. I reached for my paintbrush and thus a new work I have begun…

3. This wonderful art quote……

 

“Cherish your own emotions
 and never undervalue them”
                               Robert Henri -out of the "The Art Spirit"                              

Have a great day!

Art Quotes

A good painter has two main objects to paint, man and the intention of his soul. The former is easy, the latter is hard as he has to represent it by attitude and movement of limbs.
Leonardo da Vinci

Where the spirit does not work with the hand there is no art.
Leonardo da Vinci

Life Quotes

Dream

Today's Inspiration



Quotes to Inspire


Happy George - Photo (c) Teresa Johnson

Who is blind? He who can see no other world.
Who is dumb? He who can say nothing pleasant about his lot.
Who is poor? He who is troubled with too many desires.
Who is rich? He who is happy with his lot.

- Indian Proverb

The secret to happiness is not in doing what one likes to do,
but in liking what one has to do
.

- Anonymous

One of the things I keep learning is that the secret of being happy is doing things for other people.

- Dick Gregory
