"Spirit is the essence of art."

June 8th ~ What's Your Pleasure?
I've been working on my laptop all day out here on my screened porch. It's beautiful weather and hoards of hummingbirds are keeping me company. They are very entertaining, bringing me much pleasure with their aerial displays and continuous chattering.  What a joy it is to be surrounded by such magical creatures! Anthony Robbins said, "My definition of success is to live life in a way that causes you to feel a ton of pleasure and very little pain - and because of your lifestyle, also to have the people around you feel a lot more pleasure than they do pain." This sounds like a great philosophy to me! How about you?

"Draw your pleasure, paint your pleasure, and express your pleasure strongly." ~ Pierre Bonnard 

"Think big thoughts, but relish small pleasures." ~ H. Jackson Brown

May 6th ~ It's What You Choose
It's been more than a month since my last post! Things have changed here and yet everything remains the same. I've been thinking a lot lately about how our mind and attitude determines our circumstances. Today's InspirationEveryday quote by Banne Younker sums it up for me here; "Nothing is carved in stone unless that is what you choose." My message here today is also encapsulated in the two quotes below.

"A man cannot directly choose his circumstances, but can choose his thoughts, and so indirectly, yet surely, shape his circumstances." ~ James Allen

"Just thinking a thought and feeling the emotions as if it is already a reality can really help bring it to fruition." ~ Sandy Sandy

I taught a couple of drawing classes in Florida last month which got me drawing again. My Drawing Everyday Blog 2010 will be starting up in just a few short weeks! I'll be posting some updates before that at: www.SketchingEveryday.com . I hope some of you will take me up on my weekly challange, apply a little elbow gease to the project and draw right along with me this summer! I promise, you won't regret it.

April 1st ~ Happy April Fool's Day, Easter & Spring
Taking a vacation from blogging the past couple of weeks has given me a different perspective on it. Truth is, I think I was getting a little bogged down and blogged out. After more than 450 consecutive Spirit Art posts in four + years, I decided to loosen up and skip a few posts. You know, breaking the habit wasn't all that bad. A bit surprising, but the world didn't change one little bit. In fact, I sometimes wonder if anyone even noticed. Humm, guess it's time to regroup. Spring always seems to have a way of doing that to me anyway. So friends, until I write again, hope your holidays and the season ahead are filled with lots of surprises - of only the very best kind!

"The important thing is this: To be able at any moment to sacrifice what we are for what we could become." ~ Charles du Bois

"Every time I've made a radical change it's helped me feel buoyant as an artist." ~ David Bowie
