Rococo Display Tables Re-Imagined
From Curlicued Snakes To Flamingo Heads Take some old and obviously used, um, I mean well loved side tables. Start removing the odd varnishes accumulated on them, smooth out the dings, chips, and water stains with a fine grit sandpaper, then remove some details from a bygone age. The raw form is what we have … Continue reading Rococo Display Tables Re-Imagined
To Break My Streak Or Not???
According the fine folks at WP, I've been blogging daily for over two years, 526 days straight, in fact, without missing a single day.

So, along with the message of my up until now unbroken … Continue reading To Break My Streak Or Not???
An Angel Spoke To Me This Morning…
An angel spoke to me this morning through a series of Instagram posts. What she/he told me was in order to allow financial wealth into my life, I must let go of my current mindset towards asking for money. I must replace the association of 'earning' to money and replace it with the mindset of … Continue reading An Angel Spoke To Me This Morning…
500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #500 – Dandelion
Dandelion Musings of the Artists Mind Dandelions offer amazing mood shots. Naturally full of light and life, even when they are dead and gone to seed. This one attracted a bee and I wondered what pollen or nectar might remain that we cannot see. It is beautifully Halloween like to me. I feel it captures … Continue reading 500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #500 – Dandelion
500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #499 – Encyclopedic Beauty
Encyclopedic Beauty Musings of the Artists Mind The composition of this shot felt like an illustration from an old encyclopedia, so I chose to age the image digitally, as if it was a lost picture cut and pasted, with real glue, not digitally, into a book. I can imagine the long-winded description of what genus, … Continue reading 500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #499 – Encyclopedic Beauty
500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #498 – Ghost Of The Cemetery
Ghost Of The Cemetery Musings of the Artists Mind Here’s another example of things with minds of their own in the St-James Cemetary.

500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #497 – Where Have You Been, Mary Ann?
Where Have You Been, Mary Ann? Musings of the Artists Mind You can see that I had to manipulate this image quite a bit to show the name on the nearly buried stone. It was only a little clearer to the naked eye, but try as I might, I couldn’t catch a clear shot. There … Continue reading 500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #497 – Where Have You Been, Mary Ann?
500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #496 – Attraction
Attraction Musings of the Artists Mind How could any pollinator pass up the pull of the rich core of this bright pink flower? They came and came and came. All touching the yellow pollen and leaving with their legs heavy with the stuff. It was an amazing sight to see how they flower opened more … Continue reading 500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #496 – Attraction
500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #495 – Ballerinas
Ballerinas Musings of the Artists Mind The perspective of this shot may not give an obvious view of the ballerinas I see, however, look closely at the stamen and it looks like an areal view of a group of dancers twirling together to cover the small circle, all gracefully twirling together in the gentle beauty … Continue reading 500 Works of Art on the Road to Your Creativity #495 – Ballerinas
