"Life does not consist mainly, 
or even largely, 
of facts or happenings. 
It consist mainly 
of the storm of thoughts 
that is forever flowing through one's head."

    Minnemie, your quotes match your paintings perfectly... another gorgeous painting. I can FEEL the worry or concern in this woman's heart. Absolutely beautiful and a wonderful choice of color combination. xoxo

    This figure caught my attention this morning scrolling through. Beautiful color. Beautiful form--and oh so true quote from Twain.

    This is simply beautiful, you can really feel this man thinking. I wonder what it's about? Your work is lovely and I'm so glad you found me so I could find you! Thanks so much for stopping by. I'm also really fond of your zebra painting and the tomato one below too. :)

    What a wonderful watercolor. Her face appears to be deep in thought. The quote fits perfectly.

    I think Mark Twain also said something like "Eighty percent of our life takes place in our mind." So true! Beautiful painting!

    Excuse dopey me for sending you a message from my blog asking if you had a blog, a bit of short term memory loss.

      Thanks for the feedback, Jean. I was actually questioning the rectangles after the fact... was not sure whether they worked or not.

    Wonderful. I can't get over the fact that it is a small enough painting to fit an ATC and still have so much detail.

      I have to say... I find the ATC size very challenging!! I'm much more comfortable working BIG

    This is really beautiful. Your work is so different each week. The one thing that is constant is how beautiful it is and how much it always touches me.
