Thank You!

Yesterday and today my message on innerlinks was Gratitude! That is a sure sign to me that I need to take time and be grateful for everything in my life. I am thankful for my friends and family and the super cool blog world.

Today I am even more thankful for one of my favorite blogs in the whole world ~ Duda Daze! I won her very cool painting in her blog contest! I really love her art and her blog and am so grateful to have won! Someday I would like to have a wall full of her paintings, ☞ check out her work! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Gratitude~ To be thankful, widens the expression of your heart, and increases your ability to nourish the good in and around you.

Afghan Hound Love

I used to hate the winter because I couldn't do all the fun stuff you get to do in the warmer weather. But I finally realized what the winter is for: to hibernate: to lay around all day : to watch old movies : to paint a picture: to hang out with your pets and cuddle on the couch : to catch up on your reading. Now I love the winter because of all those things I would feel guilty about doing in the warmer weather. It's a great balance and I finally found it in accepting the cold weather. I finished a painting yesterday and it's a painting that makes me smile. I call it "Afghan Hound Love." I remember a very cool Afghan Hound that lived on my street when I was growing up and it was so beautiful. It is one of my favorite dogs to paint next to the pug which is probably the opposite of an Afghan Hound. I love dogs and plan on painting as many as I can this winter. Peace, Love, Dogs!

Rafael at My Tiny Studio Rocks!

I was visiting my sister a couple days ago and she gave me 2 very cool art pieces from Rafael at My Tiny Studio. I love them!!!!! I am very into Crows and the Crow Painting is wonderful! I also love the very cool faces on the other piece. I am addicted to twirling it to the happy face and then the sad face. The detail and energy in both are amazing. Thank you, thank you, thank you Rafael!! Your the best artist in the world and you Rock!!
