" Black Friday and just a few days to gather all we can to put me-ism over the top on our most fashionable day. You know that day, that famous Holiday, where they now want “Christ” out and “Me” in. It’s now going to be called, “the 25th day of December, Memas”. Well, aside from all that and the furor one can feel when a point is “oh, so contrary” to today’s in culture or the polls, some of the season is wonderful and it is historical, traditional and heartfelt when the exchanging of gifts takes place for the right reason. Especially, when it’s not like “well, you owe it to me.
All that put forth, consider a gift that will actually last, a gift that will mean something far beyond January sales exchange days. Consider first who the object of this affection is and secondly what is it that can bring us closer, feed that person continually and grow on them each day becoming better with time. This may take you some time to investigate and search out those things that that person loves, memories that mean something as well as your connection with that individual. Look carefully at what adorns their living and working environment, have intimate conversation and ask poignant questions. Find that art painting that will make a connection with them and will in turn link to you. That’s a true gift worth giving.
If you can’t find that exact art painting, find an artist, one living and breathing. Make sure they connect with them and then get them a gift certificate or better yet take them on an after “Christmas” shopping trip to the artist’s internet gallery. Remember; start early only so many days left!" POETIC PONTIFICATION:
“Why don’t I make this year very special as I might?
Why don’t I search out something that you would like?
Why a don’t I talk and get to know you even better,
I know one thing I will never get you another sweater!
But a painting, a beautiful painting in which you connect,
Will add to your life daily as well as gain me respect.”
“I hope you consider that special someone and a special gift which lasts like no other. Have a great week and remember the reason for the season.”

"It’s amazing but in our warp-speed, self-absorbed society, we actually have a day where we are supposed to be with people we care for, spend some time with some of them and have a meal which isn’t fast food. Wow!! We’ve surely come a long way.
So many are into me-ism, just check out the social media activities, that vanity brings them to the place that others are supposed to be thankful for them. But the wisdom of others prior to this culture set up a time to come together, reflect and be thankful.
Thanksgiving of course reminds me of paintings. Some will say now there’s a leap for him, everything reminds him of paintings. No, really. Both have the ability to make us stop and reflect, ponder and mediate on memories and occurrences that have crossed our paths or run over us like trucks. They may not all be good but they are a part of our own personal fabric.
As you get the opportunity and I say opportunity because I am so aware of the choices we make, take some time and be thankful to God for all He has given you, all He has done for you, and all He has allowed you to experience. Gaze into a beautiful painting and see if you can see His message of hope. If you can’t, ask Him to show it to you." POETIC PONTIFICATION:
“I started out on this journey without map or GPS
Not knowing anything, but seeing how I’ve been blessed.
Kindness beyond measure, shared and given my way,
Reflecting on the many who have picked me up each day.
Thank you God for all You have done, no matter what’s to come.
As I gaze into a beautiful painting, I reflect upon Your Son.”
“I hope for you that no matter where you are, what choices you have made, you will have a great “Thanksgiving”!”

"Time to make the Donuts!”;”Where’s the beef?”;”I’m lovin it!”;”Have It Your Way.”; and our latest slogan is “Have I got a stimulus package for you”. Turn on the Television and it’s 10 minutes of programming and 50 minutes of commercials. Cable TV makes you pay outrageous fees and collects Ad revenue as their profits soar shamefully. Oil companies are still laughing at you. Watch a sporting event and it’s a commercial between hit or tackle. Excuse me? Would you mind waiting, I’m trying to get my advertisement in. Texting, tweets and searches along with IM’s, emails and internet hook ups all going crazy as the financial mess caused by the ’98 pretty boys continues and will come round the mountain again and again until a Congress who votes themselves celebrity money and pensions wakes up. How long do you think that will be? Maybe we should pay them in debentures. Oh, who needs a Christmas tree? It is now going to be a Holiday tree! We are being told what to do by self-serving people who don’t have a clue.
With all that plucking, one needs to stop and really ponder! What time is it? Where am I? How did I get this fortunate? Why do I live at this exact time and in this exact country? No matter how bad you think it is, think on someone who has it worse. There are plenty of those. While you’re contemplating that think on the memories, the positive, uplifting memories of the good things and the good people who have helped you and made your life a little better. Paintings take you there. They offer messages and reminders of times, places, and experiences gained and situations loved. They make you want the good. They center your moods and judgments; and they cause you to be more positive, more forgiving, more focused and more giving.
It’s time to find a painting that rescues your thought and stimulates your mind, It’s time for you to look a little deeper, think a little more, come to grips with your choices and move toward what you know is right. Tell the world to go away and sit yourself down with a priceless friend, a heart stopping, emotional capturing painting that speaks volumes of positive messages to your soul."
POETIC PONTIFICATION:
“Here I am in the exact place I find myself today.
Not where I was with those who traveled my way.
Way too much information, talk and all that stuff,
Just keeps piling on and on, getting people in a huff.
There it is that beauty, that stunning creative expression.
As I gaze upon its splendor, I lose all of my depression.”
“It’s a great season to ponder, a great time to reflect, think and be thankful. Find paintings that captivate you. Spend some time with it; you’ll be surprised at your outcome. Have a great week!”

" Jaba, jaba, chat, chat, email this, IM that, what’s my purpose? What do I pursue? Where’s this all going? What gives me peace? Am I better off without you? What’s influencing me? Overwhelmed by information? Think there is something physical or mentally wrong? Made mistakes? Overcome by guilt or hurt? Physically and mentally damaged?
Talk about depressing, but unfortunately it’s the world we live in driven by the lies that we must have it all, it’s all about us, there’s a better relationship for me, my needs are all that matters, and more in our self-absorbed society.
Right in the midst of that twister of emotion is the memory we have. It’s not today because we have no memory yet of today, but we have memory of yesterdays. Like the coach who gets doused with the bucket full of Gatorade, positive, uplifting memories can change our focus, rescue our thoughts and bring us to a new level of optimistic encouraging empowerment. One of the single most powerful memory stimulators is great paintings. Paintings that buckle your knees and stop your heart are Just as snowflakes different and individually appealing.
If you understand what I am saying and you look at one every day you are a person most fortunate! If you don’t understand and don’t have at least one, then find one, find several. Life will have a much better outlook, every day!"

" Wading through the slop of pigs is the daily grind I feel.
I can’t seem to find myself, there is nothing really real.
Wait! Wait! What’ is that I’m looking at? What is it I see?
Are my eyes telling my heart truth or playing tricks on me?
Wow! What a vision. What a scene. It’s like having a meal.
A painting speaking directly to me, it’s what I want to feel.”
“Take the time and find a treasure that will speak volumes for a lifetime. Not only will it be priceless to you, but your life will be better for it. Have a great week!”

" In Our “What’s Next? - What Have You Done for ME Lately? - Have I Told You About ME?” Society, don’t you want to SCREAM? If you’re not being pulled in one direction, then you’re almost falling from being dragged in another. We’re drowning in falsities, half truths and I need it now. Information is no longer at your doorstep but in your ear, before your eyes, in your hands, or coming at you attaching itself like Crazy Glue. The Paperless Society just killed more trees and the new Drivers Ed Programs are coming with text as you drive course 101.
Every notice how beautiful this time of year is? For some of us who live in the northern states of our beautiful free country, it is color like you never have seen it. Every notice how capturing this magnificent vision set right before us stops us and makes us realize there are seasons, there is birth and death, dying and renewing, success and failure, love and lost love, and a whole lot more. Many wonderfully talented artists spend hours developing their craft to bring you these transcendent messages that speak volumes to your soul.
If you’ve missed this annual color palette created by God and even if you haven’t take a moment, shut out the screaming, pulling, empty world, and find one of these magnificent paintings of hope that will color your life everyday!"
POETIC PONTIFICATION:
"Stop, smell, taste, look and see what is before you today.
Closely stare at the beauty all the colors display.
Let yourself go deep with your thought taking you there,
Far beyond any worries, concerns or your personal cares.
Rest in the messages spoken no matter what you do.
The captive beauty of the paintings speaks clearly to you!”
“In the season of color and Thanksgiving, may you be captivated by an artist’s painting! Have a great week!”
