Cinque Terre on the Italian coast

Cinque Terre on the Italian coast

After hiking up about 500 steps to the top of the hill I captured this photo view of the the beautiful town where we stayed for three days last summer.

Ah for the long and warm summer days. Fall is just cooling our evenings and crisping our mornings and I already long for the warmth of the summer sun.

Blue or Yellow

Blue or Yellow

When I was younger for some reason I decided I really didn’t love blue or yellow, but as I have grown my art in my life I notice those two colors appear in my work more and more.

Ever wonder what attracts us to certain shades or tones and what ones do we not venture toward.

Purple and olive green always catch my attention in clothing stores, but looking at art my eyes don’t toward any particular color just beautiful composition and talent.

What catches your eye? What is your favorite color and do you know why?

‎”It often seems, looking back, that the unexpected comes to define us, the paths we didn’t see coming and may have wandered down by mistake. The older we get the more willing we are to follow those, to surprise ourselves.”

Somedays just aren’t the same as others…..

Somedays just aren't the same as others.....

Today may or may not be one of those days. One of reason there are so few “successful” artists may be for just this reason (or not).

Just thought this cartoon was funny. What do you think?
