We’ve reached the half way mark. It’s official. It’s all downhill from here. Haha. As fast as these first fifteen days half passed, the next fifteen will do double time. I am going to enjoy them while I can.

I’m so glad to have you join my artistic journey. Thank you. I love painting wildflowers. Pure play. I love watching the blues and greens mix on the paper. And you KNOW I love to splatter paint. Haha. Enjoy!

The best remedy for those who are afraid,
lonely or unhappy is to go outside,
somewhere where they can be quiet,
alone with the heavens, nature and God.
Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be.
Anne frank

Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet.
Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and success achieved.
Helen Keller

Trees exhale for us so that we can inhale them to stay alive.
Can we ever forget that?
Let us love trees with every breath we take until we perish.
Munia Khan

A nation that destroys its soils destroys itself.
Forests are the lungs of our land, purifying the air
and giving fresh strength to our people.
Franklin D. Roosevelt

You know me,
I think there ought to be
a big old tree right there.
And let’s give him a friend.
Everybody needs a friend.
Bob Ross

Nice blends. Straight, grounding base. LOL. Maybe could use a bit of leafy detail. Hmm. I’m suddenly in the mood for a salad. Haha.

I love spring anywhere, but if I could choose
I would always greet it in a garden.
Ruth Stout

You can’t buy happiness, but you can buy plants,
and that’s pretty much the same thing.
