Motivational Mixed Media Canvas Art



PAPER ROCKET

It's a journey. It's a dream. It's a bit of a stretch maybe...but set your goal and aim for it!

What is propelling Clara's rocket here are the words, "Long range goal."

In archery class we didn't give up if we didn't hit the bull's eye. We tried again the next day at class. Set clear goals and aim, aim, aim.

It would be hard to hit the bull's eye if you didn't have arrows. What are the tools you need to succeed? What are the tools I need to succeed? Some tools are in our nature. Compassion and understanding if you are a caregiver or doctor. An artist needs an imagination, often we paint from memory or how we think it should look. Maybe you feel you can't draw but you have a great imagination with words and can string them together in the most unusual way. (This is definitely not me with words.) Everyone has their own natural talent waiting to be discovered.

I used a mixture of papers, paint and canvas for this collage to remind myself to aim high like Clara and spread the love like she is doing with hearts.

Westie Tea Party Host Daily Painting




Not often does a westie get to host a tea party. We recorded this one so that you can see westie's have impeccable manners. As long as food is involved our westie can sit patiently for a wee bit. Heart cookies and hot tea warm the heart and stir the tongue to visit most pleasantly.

The softest shell pink color was used to portray how innocent these three are together. No hard feelings at all. Mr. Squirrel's acorn style hat is unique. When his cheeks get full of nuts he does stuff more nuts under his hat. Mr. Westie with his hat looks a bit like Abe Lincoln. A very short Abe. Miss Kitty is quite stylish with her grandmother's cameo. Cameo's never go out of style.
