Life is...

Last week I had the pleasure of signing up for a new painting class with Kelly Rae Roberts: “Hello Soul Hello Mixed Media Mantras".

My first painting for the class is finally finished.
I used part of a quote by Mother Teresa:

 Life is an opportunity, benefit from it.
 Life is beauty, admire it.
 Life is a dream, realize it.
 Life is a challenge, meet it.
 Life is a duty, complete it.
 Life is a game, play it.
 Life is a promise, fulfill it.
 Life is sorrow, overcome it.
 Life is a song, sing it.
 Life is a struggle, accept it.
 Life is a tragedy, confront it.
 Life is an adventure, dare it.
 Life is luck, make it.
 Life is too precious, do not destroy it.
 Life is life, fight for it.

Happy Valentine's Day

Today's painting is all about love.

Love of butterflies and colors.

I've used some of my favorite reds and yellows.

These colors always make me smile and fill my heart with joy.

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
