BLOG BURST:
"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!”

Feb. 7th “What You Say & Promise”

BLOG BURST:
" 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!!”

Feb. 28th “Who Da Thunk It – Libraries?”

BLOG BURST:
"I watched a show on changes that are going on in libraries all across Massachusetts. There are some fantastic, fascinating, and amazing transformations happening in the world of reading and books, part which is from “Amazon’s Kindle” to “Apple’s IPad”.

To me a spokes person who stood outside the Boston Public Library and read the carved marble words “Free To All” was most interesting. She went inside and said “Look around! You can see we have a great country, culture, music, art; what a great place to be, what a great place to come to.”

You know, as our world follows after information through the advances of technology, I hope we will not get blinded by being so absorbed with ourselves. I hope we will see what a great country we have and how we need to continually stand on our history and what we were founded on, and foster our culture, music, art, the positive adventurous spirit that has made us great and our thankfulness for the undeserved blessing of our Creator."


POETIC PONTIFICATION:
“A place for books, a place to gather and more
A world of information has opened new doors
Take a look, take a peak, enter in and see
Open up to the new world and what has come to be
Participate; add culture, music, art to your life today
You are sure to see things in a whole new way!”

“Go to your library! Stand with them as they help make changes that will only benefit you and others around you. Vote funding for them, now. And as always, have a great week!”

Feb.21st “Shut The News Off!”

BLOG BURST:
" Shootings, kidnappings, murders, rapes, child molestations, unemployment, the homeless, the earthquake, death, perversion, divorce, cheating, strangulation, terrorism, bombing, starvation, floods, mudslides, fires, tornados, lost at sea, amber alert, heighten state of emergency, bribes, overweight, starvation, mentally challenged, Alzheimer’s, blood pressure, strokes, greed, emergency bomb squads, swat teams, bills, religious wars, stress, taxes, politicians, Republicans, Democrats, Sex Addictions, Power, Money, stabbings, pornography, and a whole lot more Blah, Blah, Blah!

One of the top producers for a major news television network said, “It’s all about how we can scare them today and beating the competition!”

Here’s a small suggestion; but first, remember this same breeding ground is in every workplace in America from the largest corporation to the teachers’ lunch room. It’s everywhere including any place that two or more people are gathered together and it’s all over the internet and in today’s music. “Make some choices to SHUT the TV News Off, or at least limit it; and along with this make other choices that will save your brain and make your life better.

Spend some time with your family, your friends, reading, playing, praying, or simply indulging in pondering the works and messages of a great positive painting."


POETIC PONTIFICATION:
“What’s all that I hear and what is being said?
Will it help my life or keep me from sleeping in my bed?
Is all that’s bombarding me useful to my life and health?
Or will it cause me harm and get my brain to melt
Let me take the high road to think and ponder each day.
I know life will be all the better if I choose that way!”

“You can do it! Yes, you can. Stay well and live life, find or spend time with a great painting, an exciting artist and live in the positive. Thank you!”

“Happy Valentines’ Day”!!"


POETIC PONTIFICATION:
“I awoke today and realized how many days had past.
How many Valentines Days together just didn’t last.
How many dozen roses, words, cards, gifts and alike,
How many parties with guests looking like such a fright.
But here it is that day once more with all that is ahead
For now I’ll just quiet down and sleep in this warm bed.”

“Hope you have a wonderful day. May all those whom you have touched, think on your kindness and acts of love and forgiveness, affectionately this entire week!”

Feb.7th “The Art of Relationships”











"OceanBeauty”
Size: 18" X 28" Giclee' on Canvas Hand Embellished by Artist; Certified & Limited From "The Girl At The Beach Collection". - Click HERE - Find the ENLARGED paintings with details, pricing, shipping and more as well as my comments on the paintings.

BLOG BURST:
"Paintings can be closely aligned with relationships. Prior to the advent of photography paintings were forms of record keeping. Paintings were often used to identify position, possessions and portraits. You would think that their importance would have fallen with this new ability to replicate likeness and exactness on a visual surface. Quite the contrary, paintings have moved in all kinds of directions, formats, styles, applications, categories and more.

The relationship principle is still the same. You can like it. You can hate it. You can be engaged it. You lose your taste for it. You can vow to love it as long as you live or you can throw it away because you’ve lost your feeling for it.

The truth is, possessing a great painting that engages you is very much like any good relationship. You’ve got to endeavor to work at it, spend time with it and nurture your love for it. If you do it will possess you, please you, bring you joy, refresh you and make your life better.

In any case, putting your efforts toward building, continuing and working at a relationship is far more positive, healthy and worth it than not. May you find a great painting or may a great painting find you!!"


POETIC PONTIFICATION:
“Build that emotional bond that cannot be broken
Take the time to search and ask, seek out the emotion
Open your heart and mind to help each other’s needs
Spend time together ponder where the memories lead
Gaze at the beauty and the affect its had on your soul
Stay positive and let the beautiful story totally unfold.”

“I hope you have a great painting or acquire one and take the time to look at all your relationships. Remember to invest in them and be positive. Have a great week!”
