"An attitude of gratitude brings great things"

Wishing you a HAPPY THANKSGIVING Holiday and weekend and ease in finding gratitude throughout each and every day!

The Story of “Squash”

At Thanksgiving a number of years ago, I was in the middle of painting a series of Still Life paintings. I had purchased many squash to make a ‘statement’ on the long Thanksgiving table that year as we would be having the big dinner at our house.

As shown in a past newsletter, I set up my squash composition to use as reference and painted the painting featured above. At the ‘big dinner’ that year I had this painting, like a Martha Stewart 'touch', on an easel near the dining table with the same squash featured as the tables centerpiece along with other complimenting Fall items. I wish I had taken a photo of the table that year…

I know I am. Yet.... Does this ever happen to you?

I forget to remember all the 'good stuff' sometimes and that 'Attitude of Gratitude' certainly is not there! Precious hours in a day can pass with a... shall we say.... less than ‘optimal’ frame of mind. UNTIL…SOMETHING spurs me to ‘remember’ or inspires me back to a more empowered, positive mindset.

It is with this in mind that I began creating the ‘Inspirational Reminders’. I have made these first original paintings in to Prints and Cards with inspirational, ‘reminding’ and empowering messages.

Most of these images have other ‘hidden’ images collaged behind the scenes that support the message and encourage interaction with the card or print and help in remembering the message!

On the back of each Card I write briefly about any 'hidden' images and their significance and each Print comes with a ‘map’ of sorts locating each of the images and telling about their meaning.

Below are direct links to a handful of the 'Information Sheets' about a few of the images that have the 'maps' to the 'hidden' images in those pieces so you can see what I am talking about!

-- FAITH -- HOPE -- Think Abundance -- DREAM -- TODAY! Make it count!
