From the look on the girls’ faces, Mildred forgot the map at home, and now the girls are lost. Will they ever find their way? I think they will, once the confusion lifts, and they find a kind soul at the next gas station
 
(remember those) who will give them directions.

The moon and sun are travelers through eternity. Even the years wander on. Whether drifting through life on a boat or climbing toward old age leading a horse, each day is a journey, and the journey itself is home. ~Basho

Reason number 234083409845098340829348093890845098 that I am an artist..

“I received painting today and cried. It says what I could not. Bless you.“

Three simple sentences had me bawling like a baby.
My heart swelled so big, and opened so w i d e.
I thought it might explode.
Thank you.

Lean back, and savor the moment.

Katherine Jeanne Wood - greg's picture of our house

Greg, my husband, took this photo of the side of our house using his homemade cameras. He shot it with a digital camera, through the dirty lens of an antique camera. I think it’s pretty cool. 🙂

Armani's sweet book
Rereading Armani’s sweet book, Whispers from an Invisible Life

 
“Staying quiet is not only safer, it’s more magical than trying to fit in, than trying to understand people. I have to be mute, I have to be no more than a whisper. Anything louder might echo and bring this world crashing down on my head.”
 
Despite having no voice, this girl still has magic, and her invisible life is far from forsaken…

If you’re coming from Leslie’s blog, hello and welcome. Please leave a comment, so I can visit you, also.
If you’re visiting from PPF, things are going to be a little different on my blog for the next few weeks. I’m doing 30 paintings in 30 days challenge. You may remember that back in September, I did this challenge, and my theme was photo booth paintings This time around, I don’t have a theme. I want to be free to choose what I want to do in the moment. I’m going to be spontaneous! It might be an art journal page, a large painting, a collage painting, an abstract painting or a small 4×4 inch painting. It might be a serious portrait or a raw, primitive one. I may decide to paint like a child, which is harder than it sounds. Who knows what I’ll be posting? Check back each day to see. 🙂 If you click on my banner, ^ up there, you can scroll down and see posts from the entire week.
