There are lots of interesting things going on for National Craft Month. Find a place in your day or week to create something!
While reading in "The Soul of Creativity" I found these two quotes -
"If each success requires ten failures, then count each failure as a blessing on the road to success. For our success to mount, so must our failures" Eric Maisel
And then this one - which I have stated a bit differently, but with the same meaning:
"We were created from the Creator of all the universe, so it stands to reason that creativity is as much a part of us as are our bodies, minds, and souls.....People don't stay sad for too long when they're creating because creativity is a happy energy" Echo Bodine
I haven't had my creative time since Saturday, so I have nothing new to show you. So I will share a couple of my older paintings.
Abstract: Forbidden Crossing (acrylic on watercolor paper) |
Glorious Red (watercolor on watercolor paper) |
Comments are welcomed. I will reply when possible unless otherwise stated. Of course if you are a "No Reply Blogger" - I can not reply.

I didn't know about this month! I'm really out of the loop, I guess. Your paintings are always lovely.
Thanks, Gene - I just registered for the Mystery Craft box - and will be sure to remember you are my friend if I win. I like both of the quotes and your paintings are always amazing! The first quote fits one of the little plaques in my sewing room - "Sew Blessed" - :))
You have been blessed with much talent. Thanks friend for sharing the craftsy giveaway.
