If live sometimes is no bed of roses, why not make it a little nicer by painting ... roses, for example!
This is a painting from last year. I have so many unfinished canvases in my studio right now and hope to find some time to get on with them this weekend. I mean TAKE some time to get on with them. Take some time for myself. Make it a priority. This summer has been so busy so far, and i crave to be more in touch with my art again, make it work, make it flow, feel the magic!
Roses on canvas; how artistic and delightful!
ReplyDeleteI paint too and I am currently looking at ten unfinished pieces. Must get my head sorted and paint. Tried to get a copy of magazine... Sold out at Frankfurt Bahnhof. Willl send e-mail.
have a nice weekend;-)
Oh dearest, how I know that feeling! I had so many plans to try to get some of my stories and art together to publish, and I have done hardly anything! I think we just need to take one thing at a time, and be glad that we got that one thing done! Beautiful roses!!! Anita
ReplyDeletePretty roses!
ReplyDeleteHope you get to work on your unfinished pieces :)
Take care...
So Pretty! I wish that I could paint. Maybe that will be my next endeavor?
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing those Pretty Roses, and for playing along with Friday Pretties!
Have a Wonderful Weekend,
Joyce
Oh if only I could paint! that is something I desire but really...it is not so pretty when I do it. BUT you have inspired me to try again! Actaully our church has it's art room open for everyone this week & wants us all to try our hand at creating based on Psalms 8. There should be lots of inspiration it those verses! I was going to try photography but I think i might bust out & do some flowers with your inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine ever wanting to shrink my boys but I am sure that time will come...I just want them to be through with "The Toilet Is My Favorite Toy" stage & then hit pause :) I thought Bo was through it, but after his "nap" at my sisters while she was babysitting....apparently not.
Paint on! I love enjoying your masterpieces!!!
Libbie, what a wonderful comment! I'm so glad you feel inspired, and hope you'll post some of your artwork sometimes! Have fun painting :) And as for the boys ... one forgets the bad things i guess! "Boys: a noise with dirt on" i read the other day :)
ReplyDeleteI'm right there with you Martina! Hey, I thought I was the the queen of unfinished work (lol).
ReplyDeleteI wish we lived closer. We would make sure we were painting regularly :)
Happy friday pretties .....what a lovely painting...and your blog is also lovely......happy weekend enjoy !! hugs from Ria....
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful painting!
ReplyDeleteI love to paint too, and it is hard sometimes to find the TIME to paint. But, when I do, I am always so much more relaxed and happy!
Thank you for inspiring me to pick up those paint brushes again...:)
Have "pretty Friday"!

Im struggling with unfinished projects too, when I do have a free hour I feel too tired to do anything :(
ReplyDeleteDear Martina,

what a great idea! sometimes life really is messy and dirty and less than perfect...but we can simply fill our days with beauty...by painting pretty pictures!
ReplyDeletei love the idea of getting back to older works that maybe weren't finshed or finished but not to our liking.....we can revamp things and work it all out until we are happy ,.... and maybe there 's a certain satisfaction that comes with reworking things....
like a symbolic renewal!
thanks for the inspiration!

Good evening dear one! Oh Martina, thank you for your visit....it is always so nice to see you arrive from Germany! And thank you for the name, BLANCHE....that was my momma's name! And how apropos.....toute blanche....everything white is on my mind these days.....a clean canvas for décorating with exquisite treasures.....that is what my darling sister-in-law is all about.
ReplyDeleteDo have a fabulous weekend! Oh how I wish I could visit all my dear blogger friends in their countries and states, like you!
Grosses Bises, Anita
Oh, gorgeous! I love reds and pinks, this is stunning, I can picture it in my living room perfectly! I'm so happy you stopped by Little Blue Deer so I could find you, your blog is really lovely, very well put together, and I am happy to be your newest follower!
ReplyDeleteGreetings Martina,
ReplyDeleteOh, I love feel of this painting...such vibrant colors...do make sure to take a little time to enjoy yourself...smile On Rosie
Just do it, Martina, take that time to finish your paintings. This one is ADORABLE! Your color palette is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteAbout Waldorff, the parents are perhaps a little bit more involved in school life, but we are free in deciding what and how much. I so like Steiners approach, I believe the children will get to think in creative solutions. Which really gives them so much more than just simply learning by heart. Steiner makes the little ones actually feel and a kind of undergo most of the things to be learned.
Ich wuensche dich ein ganz schoenes Wochenende mit viel Sonne und kreative Stunden! xx
