BLOG BURST:
"What a world we live in and what a time to be alive. The changes going on around us are mind boggling. The greed, the self absorption, absentee non discipline parenting, cheapness of life, the backroom deals, the sleep around divorce makes it right world mentality, and wave upon wave of braking down of our foundational beliefs, nothing is sacred. That’s what they would like you to believe. Oh by the way, turn the music up and let’s watch some more stealing and killing on super 3D.

Even in our personal relationship, it’s now maybe I’ll be there and maybe not. Loyalty, vows, true friendship, got your back, it’s more who are you with this week and who are you again? Sure we have friends on the lazy-suzanne of life. It spins whoever comes around for me today is my best friend. All the while, the clock is ticking. If there is 24 hours in each and every day, how come it goes faster with every year that passes? It’s “I just don’t have time for that anyway.”

Once again, I’m here to say, think, stop, consider and re-evaluate what’s going on around you. You may have to change directions, move to some other course, and change the group you hang with or take a closer look at your belief system. Only you know, but you won’t if you don’t stop and reflect and ask for some insight from someone besides your self-serving relations.

Grab a chair, get yourself deeply engaged in a painting and reflect on all that’s going on with you. When you are done you may not recognize yourself."


POETIC PONTIFICATION:
“Hello world, it’s me, what don’t you know who I am?
You can view everything I do on my own webcam
Don’t have the time, not about anyone besides myself
We only go round once you know; got to get the wealth
I know my heart is cold and I don’t really have a friend
But if not about me and mine, how do these stories end?”

“Having a great painting pays your way to positive mind travel. It’s a good week for inside and outside reflection. Stay well.”

Apr. 18th “The Eyes & The Ears”

BLOG BURST:
"Life is just full of surprises. You know the quote …”Surprise, Surprise”! You remember that almanac of dates that go off in your head “your first kiss’, “graduation”, “your first real job”, “marriage”, “birth”, ”births”, “death of a loved one”, “death of a parent”, and a myriad of all kinds of other things that you would love to remember or you’d love to forget. One thing is for sure, there have been surprises! There were surprises that were great and surprises that devastated you.

In each situation and in all your memories your eyes and your ears have seen and heard messages and some were true and some were not true. Time often tempers and changes those messages to I didn’t say that or that’s not what I said; or that’s not how I saw it.

So often we’re too busy and too influenced to even listen or see the reality of what’s really going on. In most cases we just pass off or excuse the reality in a state of non involvement until like the media, the next big story happens in life.

I hope you can take a serious look at the truth around you and the facts as they unfold. Spend some time with a great painting and let it act as a springboard to bring you to the reality that you otherwise might have missed."


POETIC PONTIFICATION:
“Go here! Go there! Look at this; I just got to dash.
I don’t have time for a thought as I’m about to crash
There not a moment to look; can’t hear what you say
Sorry, but with my agenda it’s the price I have to pay
Look I must complete this, I’ve scheduled a date
What was that you said; my word, I’m too late!”

“Grab a beautiful painting and engage yourself because in this world time keeps ticking until you or someone who means something to you are no more.”

Apr.11th “Positives In Storms”












"StormBrewing”
Size: 12" X 16" Giclee' on Canvas Hand Embellished by Artist; Certified & Limited From "The Beautiful Cape Collection". - Click HERE - Find the ENLARGED paintings with details, pricing, shipping and more as well as my comments on the paintings.

BLOG BURST:
" There’s a quote saying something like, “into every life some rain must fall”. Well, even though there are thousands of quotes and they’re all in Chinese cookies, it doesn’t mean they’re true or even accurate. Life is not a bowl of cherries and even if it was someone’s biting into the pit which means pain, dental work, more pain, more dental work and on and on. You get the picture.

Speaking of picture or in this case painting, finding the right painting can improve whatever circumstance you’re in. You know that there are negative people and positive people. Ever notice how negative people find a way to weasel out on things, constantly bring an attitude and manifestation of negative ongoing commentaries, are sick more and live in a state of fear and depression. The right painting can even help them. Getting out of yourself, not being so self absorbed, and looking for and asking for the truth, can bring you a long way to redefining the positives and being thankful.

In the featured “StormBrewing” Paintings, you can focus on all the negative stuff that’s going on in your life or you can look at the roll and the movement of the ocean. You can rest in the power and the energy. You can focus that it’s something that is temporary and the sunshine will glisten once again with newness of life. There are a lot of choices in one’s life, some good and some bad, some you regret for a lifetime and some you’ll be thankful for.

Be thankful, be positive and find a great painting that captures your heart’s emotions!"


POETIC PONTIFICATION:
“Who chose for you the things that were to be?
You or your family that made you what others see?
Have you seen with eyes of pain, faced peril and regret?
Have you forsaken your words and a new course set?
May you find the truth beyond embedded control;
Go back, stand up, be positive, and be ever so bold!”

“Have a great week; spend time with great paintings; and choose life. You are not your own.”

Apr. 4th “No Chocolates, Eggs, or Bunnies”

BLOG BURST:
"Got an email on Friday morning telling me that this was the first day of the Easter Holiday in the UK; and it was actually called Good Friday. Although a religious holiday many from all religions take it off to spend with family to give gifts of chocolates and decorate eggs. He was getting this all out of the way early so he could spend it providing all his customers with tools, techniques and strategies to ensure he delivered on his promises.

While all that sounds so nice a quote comes to mind; “there are none so blind as those who cannot see”.

This is one of the most important events in history. No other sacrifice could be offered on behalf of mankind who had willfully disobeyed Him, The God of Heaven & Earth, and set in motion eternal separation. The only way that The Only, Perfect, Holy, Just God could be satisfied was to sacrifice Himself in human form on the cross. Then He rose alive; defeating death and the sentence given, on the third day.

Once again providing humanity with a choice “Life” or “Death”? He is Risen! Choose Life!"


POETIC PONTIFICATION:
“I thought I was OK going along in my own way.
Never realizing the path I’d been on each day.
Then I heard the good news of God’s sacrificial lamb
It went direct to my heart and who I really am.
So the decision was made to believe in Christ
Now my Lord, my Savior and forever my Life!”

“Let the painting take your heart and lead you to the path of change. Have a great weekend as you remember what it is all about.”
