Chandra Lynn nominated me for the Three Quotes in Three Days challenge. This is day three.

The rules are simple:

Thank the person who nominates you
Post one quote per day for 3 consecutive days
Nominate three new bloggers each day

Thank you Chandra!

I nominate:

Juana Almaguer
Katie Jeanne Wood
Jill Hejl – Live, Draw, Paint

I recently realized that I stopped receiving post notifications from Jill, and Katie. I have no idea for how long. I re-upped and will catch up later this week. Has that happened to anyone else? I could be losing my mind, but I do not think I would unsubscribe.

Blustery day today. Out and about, I took notice of the trees swaying, bouncing and bowing.

The green reed which bends in the wind is stronger
than the mighty oak which breaks in a storm.

Mingus was missing today. Cloudy and hinting at rain. A few small drops here and there. Poked through just before sunset. Just before the sky turned a weird shade of mauve.

The true use of art is, first, to cultivate
the artist’s own spiritual nature.
George Inness

A Good artist has less time than ideas.
Martin Kippenberger

Don’t think about making art, just get it done.
Let everyone else decide if it’s good or bad,
whether they love it or hate it.
While they are deciding, make even more art.
Andy Warhol

A wonderful giveaway gift arrived! I am the lucky recipient of a copy of Botanical Mandalas, Louise Gale’s new book! I can’t wait to dive into it, but it will have to wait until the 100 is over. Hop on over to take a peek inside. Many of you a familiar with Louise from her wonderful Global Art Swap.

This book is gorgeous. It is about art, and building a deeper connection with nature. And flowers, and MORE flowers!

Thank you Louise, for sharing your art with the world. For being an inspiration to so many. And for providing opportunities for new artists to share their art with others!

Thank you Louise, for my lovely copy of your beautiful book!!

When I finished last night, I thought these were a hot mess. Today, well they are not good. But they are done. I was having more fun with the skies. But even they did not turn out as nice as I’d hoped. Still, these are all fixable. Workable. I will be revisiting the 100 when the “days” are through, and reworking them as needed.
