Finding My Flow - Cultivating Gratitude

Having an art practice can benefit your health and well-being. 

Understanding how art can help you be happy, and how being happy can help you be healthy is really important.

An art-making helps cultivate gratitude. 

How to be grateful for the beauty of simple things will train you to focus on the positive. This practice can change the channel of your consciousness. 

Art-making can train your eyes to see.  When you learn to appreciate the beauty of the visual world,  all sensory experience is enhanced.  Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm... I am blessed! 

Life is an abundant adventure....

Hope that you enjoy this painting.  It is 8" x 10" acrylics on masonite. The title is...

"Finding My Flow."

Best wishes for your health! 

Peaceful happiness Judith 

Gladiolus September

September's gift...

Breath deeply

Glowing sunshine 

Thick as honey,  

Dancing on the edge

of Autumn 

Summer's grace 

Receding...Blessing 

Glad and glorious 

Frilly petals 

Blow kisses 

To the setting sun.

Labour Day Sunset

Wow what a fabulous Labor day it's been this year...  warm and windy and almost raining all day... I'm happy that I just saw the most beautiful sunset. It was red and pink , magenta, and purple... so lovely! It was really really really beautiful.  Oddly enough, I happened to do a painting yesterday that foreshadowed the sunset that I we had today... so I'm sharing this beautiful painting of a sunset with you the 'Labor Day Sunset.' 

 I'm sitting here listening to my little singers, The Crickets and all the other insects who are adding to the Beautiful song that they make this time of the year...  this is a real treasure to me!  Its so lovely and so peaceful...

 Yesterday  I was sitting and watching the sun set, and a little dragonfly landed beside me and watched the sunset with me for a while... he kept on looking up at me with his big blue eyes, as big as his head...  and before he left, he landed right on my finger as if to say "thanks for watching the sunset with me" and then off he flew... 

Thanks for reading my blog.
