" I finished a painting recently and the title has stuck with me. I couldn’t help but think of the band of birds flying in all their precision going somewhere. That title reminds me of Robert Frost and the title of his famous poem, “Miles to go before I sleep”.
We’re all going somewhere. We’re always moving in one way or another. Our minds, our actions, our deeds, always have travel involved. We love to be here rather than there or we love to be there rather than here. No matter what you think, what you are working on or wherever you find yourself, there’s always miles to go.
As you already know it’s one of the great reasons I love paintings and I love to paint. Not only do I get to travel; but I also get to stay here. Great thoughts, ideas, messages and the communication of paintings are part of the painting author’s story as it unfolds right before your eyes.
Refresh yourself and sit, stand and don’t travel for a few precious minutes, look deep and engage a painting that engages you. You’ll definitely travel and where you travel will be one of your best trips in a while. Best thing is you can continue on your journey next time you face off with that painting again." POETIC PONTIFICATION:
“Here and there, requirements each and every day
Trying to schedule all of it and not lose your way.
What’s the priority; what has to be absolutely done?
So much going on, you forgot to schedule some fun
But wait, if you would but stop and take some time,
Engage with a painting and rest your weary mind!”
“Have wonderful week, take some time for yourself and be thankful no matter what circumstance or situation you find yourself in. There is always someone who is not as fortunate as you.”

" In a week filled with rats, bats and videos as well as twitter, tv and the web, it makes you stop and want to take a breath. Seems like we all have schedules and impossible check lists. With all of that “Connections” are at the heart of the human experience. It’s a series of who you are connected with, who you were connected with and who you’re going to be connected with.
My Dad used to say connections are the most important things and being connected to God is your most important connection. In doing the painting above, I thought a lot about connections and that paint only offers an example of one of the ways we get connected. Think about it. Someone can introduce you. You meet someone when you expected to meet someone else. You start to follow someone on the social media circuit. You watch and introduce yourself to someone who: created a video, wrote an article, has a product or service to sell, offers you something you need and on and on.
To me, as you’ve heard me before, paintings are a great way to connect to a vast reservoir of memories. They are just waiting to be unlocked and brought back to life to give you a world of positives.
With all the connections from our past history and in light of what we as a country and people seem to be all about, we could use some of our old connections, and also our old ways of doing things.
I hope you get some time, or take some time and let a great painting kindle positive memories in your head." POETIC PONTIFICATION:
“As I sat here gazing into the scene before my eyes
I determine how far I have fallen from being wise
I thought of people, places, friends and family
And above all I’m thankful for all God’s given me.
I trust and hope you might just take some time.
Let the messages of a great painting fill your mind.”
“Be thankful, be careful and ponder all those relationships that have contributed to your life. Make a new connection as well and have a great week!
Also look for the next video in the “Paintings that Capture the Hearts Emotions” series coming out this week!”

"Often we’re so caught up by our lives and our schedules, we can’t even take a breath. We have our glasses on and we’re pushing ahead full speed and we think we’re taking it all in. Yesterday I got an email from a friend asking me to pass on an extremely dangerous situation in a foreign country where 20 churches were burnt and 200 more were scheduled for the following night along with the goal of executing 200 people serving them. There is stuff going on in our own life and the world around us. There’s a lot we just don’t see or don’t want to see.
Sometimes, I say often, it’s good to stop and look deep into a painting. Let your mind travel to your foundational beliefs. You may not feel that you can help the world around you, or you may if you have a right relationship and can pray. Ask yourself, why are you so fortunate or maybe why aren’t you? Is it the choices you’ve made, things you’ve done, or the promises you’ve not kept? If you have the right relationship you can find those answers as well.
Spend some time with a great painting. Ponder what its saying! Then think about the true Creator of the Universe. Call out to Him. You may be surprised at the availability of insights and answers." POETIC PONTIFICATION:
“The world is traveling to its destination at a rapid pace.
Too often the world has given us it own bitter taste
Driven by powers who blind men’s eyes and ears
Leaving us with hopelessness and ever present fears
But take heart in perfect love there is no fear at all
So find out who is love, reach out and answer His call.”
“Ponder what you look at and what you don’t. Ask yourself what you are looking for and remember feelings or the lack of them won’t lead you to truth. Have a great week!”

" What you say and what you promise is important! If you watched the previously posted video you’ll see some astounding results. Did you catch this “78% of consumers trust peer recommendations”? How about you?
We have a country and a political systems being ripped apart by greed, self interest and political affiliation. We have over 50% divorce rate in the “Christian Church” because lying to God was easier than trusting him and working it out. We have Chinese and Canadian companies who got over a BBBillion dollars of Stimulus money meant for this country and given by US Tax payers. We have two foreign wars going on in countries that can’t govern themselves and don’t want us there. We are sending aid to foreigners and have forgotten about the, elderly, homeless and starving children in America.
We have more ways to contact individuals then there are households in America. Yet with all that we have forgotten our most important relationship, the relationships with family and friends, and the relationship with other human beings. We have replaced prayer with none, talk to our relatives with the social media outlets or not at all and we build superficial true faceless relationships daily.
It’s no wonder people need great paintings that engage and capture their heart’s emotion and give them a positive frame of reference." POETIC PONTIFICATION:
“Life’s moving so fast I don’t know where it went
What I had, I thought I had, wasn’t really sent
Where I’ve gone and what I’ve done added to my days
A lot of empty feelings and a lot of misguided ways
But here I am happy in His will, doing as He pleased
Painting Paintings that give the heart a squeeze!”
“Word of mouth, pass it on, ask someone to read and comment. Live each day as if it is your last because it very well could be. And, most important, know where you are going and who’s waiting and what kind of relationship you have with Him. Other than that, nothing else matters, nothing!!”
