I just want to thank everyone who visits and leaves your wonderful comments. I have made wonderful friends in blog land. I hope to make more in the year to come.

I have my new journal ready for 2010. To began the new year and to start on with a new journey. I will check in on you guys and see what you are doing..I do need a break..

I leave this with you.

The clouds that cover the sunshine

They can not banish the sun;

And the earth shines out the brighter

When the weary rain is done.

We must stand in the deepest shadow

To see the clearest light;

And often through wrongs own darkness

Comes the very strength of light.

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

See you in 2010

May you always dream in color.

ARTIST BLOCK

Another sketch book day. I seem to be able to sit down and sketch but I try to pick up a brush and I can not paint..I can not even do background work.. What is wrong?? I can not even hold a brush in my hand with out saying bad words..Like _______________.....LOL......

You can fill in the blank...

It is a week away from Christmas and I am never ready. So my family decided that everyone is coming to my house.. First I do not cook, second I do not cook, and third I do not cook. So what am I doing for Christmas I AM COOKING!!!!! They want a traditional holiday meal.. I tried to explain to them tradition for me is going to other people's home... Where they cook and I bring something from the Bakery....So I suppose I will pick up a larger bottle of wine for dinner...

Yes, I love my family, sure I do...We all love our family at Christmas they bring you gifts.. LOL>

Have a good week and may you always dream in color.

Sketch Book Sunday

For I say I am not a winter time person.

So why do I enjoy walking outside to feel the cold touch my face.

Kissing and clinging to my hands.

To take the steps directly into the wind letting it take my breath away.

To see the earth's ground covered in white of the first frost .

Taking those steps onto the crisp ground to hear the sound of walking on the stars in the winter time .

Enjoy your Sunday, here in this part of the world there is a chill in the air.

May you always dream in color,

Drive by photo and a few of my words

YOU MUST CLICK ON THE PHOTO TO READ AND SEE.....THANKS
This is a photo I shot as I was riding ,being the passenger of course. .Just one of those shots you take and then wonder why? I was sitting today and looking at photos and wondering why did I keep this shot of the church which is not a good photo at all. Then I saw shadows and then I heard the words in my head. So I just typed them in and then so I called it Silent Sunday.
I suppose I have a lot of silent moments lately..

Have a good week and May you always dream in color.

You and I

12x15 on Birch Panel....

I remember the night

we sat and talked

until the first pale rays of dawn

broke through the darkness.

It was then that we discovered

you and I had become "US"

Sometimes we simply have to sit and be and enjoy the moment.

May you always dream in color.
