Intentional Painting

Dear Friends,

God bless you, your loved ones and your ministries this week!

Do you ever talk to yourself out loud?

Sometimes when I paint I hear myself say, "Sue paint it like you mean it!" This means making sweeping curves instood of wobbly ones and using enough paint to make the image pop out at the viewer. I love strength in painting. It show passion for one's ideas.

Love, Sue

Sight Seeing

Dear Friends,

God bless you, your loved ones and your ministries this week!

Do you love to go sight seeing?

A friend and I toured neighboring farms to take photos last week, which took me back to feeling like a child again. What fun we had!

This weekend I went to the garden tour sponsored by the Greater Lansing Housing Coalition. If you ever get a chance to attend that event, it is well worth your time!!! Ohmygosh! I never knew such gardens existed!

My inspiration level is high after so much beauty!

Love, Sue

Colors

Dear Friends,

God bless you, your loved ones and your ministries this week!

What is your favorite color combination?

I heard that Marc Chagall said something like this about colors on the color wheel; neighbors are friends, opposites are lovers!!!

I love to use complimentary colors together!

My husband and I are opposites that never cease to attract one another! At least not for long!

Love, Sue

Creativity Begets Creativity

Dear Friends,

God bless you, your loved ones and your ministries this week!

Have you ever heard a word of wisdom, that resounded in your soul, come out of the mouth of a perfect stranger?

I was doing an art fair this weekend and a farmer's wife said to me, "I believe that creativity begets creativity." She added that some people say they don't have a creative bone in their body and she said, "I don't buy that."

I couldn't agree more!

Love, Sue
