Keeping Things Real! - Real Creative & Colorful!

Life is too short to sweat the small stuff and at the end of the day we find out that it's all small stuff. So just look around and enjoy the colors that are around us, yellow= sunshine, green=grass, blue=sky . . . yeah there are sooo many colors

Splash spatter!!! Explosions on canvas in color are wonderful to enjoy.

Right now The Great Frame Up is featuring the artwork of Bill Gordon. He uses wonderful colors, oranges, greens, reds, blues, purple - his motto is the more color the better!

His canvases are very large and some medium size about 36x36. www.billgordonart.com

Brighten Up A Gray Day With Colorful Art & Art-wearables

The skies are gray and it's a bit nippy in the air; fall is on us today. I've had my second cup of hot chocolate and it was very tasty with whipped cream on top. On this gray day, I was glad to see local artist Renee Mak. She is a treat to anyone she meets. Her colorful artwork and designs are featured in the gallery in the back display window.

She has just launched her new company MoTaMat! The Art & Design Company. She is now offering artwear, classes, workshops & mixed media art on canvas to brighten up any home or office decor. http://www.motamat.etsy.com/

Thankful Day

Today - I'm very thankful. I had a business breakfast meeting this morning at Hamiliton's Funeral home. I know not the first place you think about having a breakfast meeting at 7:30am. However, I was pleasantly impressed with the facility. I couldn't help notice the garden outside with all of the metal artwork of children chasing butterflys. Well, they have an annual tribute to the small little ones that have gone to heaven and it is a very touching tribute where they give the metal artwork to the families after a memorial service.

Consequently, this got me thinking this morning early in the rain as to why I'm so very thankful. So often as adults and busy people with lots of tasks on our plates to complete each day, we forget about the little things. We forget that if we are no longer children and still living life . . .that in itself is a blessing. Today is a day to be thankful and for those of you who have lost young little ones - my prayers go out to you and your families.
