I am trying a new approach to my paintings. I really enjoy the freedom that impressionism style offers. I hope you will enjoy looking!

I haven't been blogging for a good while. I've experienced a complete upheaval in my life, going from being with- who I thought was- my soul mate, my best friend for the 25 years, to being single again, living in a new place, new city, and a new state.
Some people might think this isn't the place for sharing a little of my life, but I say, why not? Life is DANG TOUGH, some people are nothing but cheats,liars,deceivers,adulterers, extremely weak with zero morals, or feelings for others...pure EVIL... and a whole dictionary full of nasty little adjectives... we all know those types, and have had our own personal experiences with a few of these empty-souls. But, in spite of those few whose interest it is to destroy others, I like to think like Anne Frank, who, living through HELL, locked up for years in a tiny apartment with family- as well as "odd" and quirky strangers, hiding from devils beyond our comprehension, still had the heart and mindset to write in her diary, that she thought most people were still good at heart.
It seems harder to NOT trust people, than to trust them, and our God. Yes, we all make mistakes, but some people only live to create hurt and pain for others. I've ridden this horse before, was thrown off, got back up, and it happened once again. Now I am older, and maybe not very much wiser, because I can't think like those who lie in their beds at night, as the Bible describes, thinking up ways to hurt others. I will say that I am a whole lot sadder for those who are determined to destroy others in their path with selfish motives, and narcissism, because eventually it will catch up with them. Call it karma, call it not mocking God, "Be not deceived, whatsoever a man soweth, that he shall reap." It will come back to bite them, and bite them hard.
So, if you are experiencing anything close to what I have just spilled my guts about, hang in there, chin-up,, and carry on. Be determined that YOUR best is yet to come!
So, let's toast to a new year, a new style or two of creating art (of any kind), an exciting life, whatever it is you like to do, with a bucket full of exciting dreams, strong-minded hope, forgetting the past, and moving forward to....
NEW BEGINNINGS!
