The 3 Deadly P's for Artist...

A very famous artist once said, 

“Don't think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it's good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art,” and Andy Warhol was right. Art is a process in which we get better as we do more of it. Or in some cases, get worse if we start overthinking it. 

Let's talk about why artists are their own worst critics...

Trees for the Earth!

Many people don't pay much attention to Earth Day. Sure, you can write a post on your facebook or upload a picture of the Earth on Instagram but that's not helping the planet at all. More than pictures or words, Mother Nature requires care and love from its Children. That's where we all come together. There are many small things you can do to help the environment. 

Be Your Own Boss

Sometimes all you need is a little push. A little burst of inspiration. No matter what the motivation is to be your own boss, you can start today. 

Aspire to Inspire

We read a quote and it makes us think deeper. We listen to songs that speak to our soul. We look at something and it makes us feel some type of way. Someone came into our life some way and we feel differently because of their message or actions. Life is full of inspiration.

Kindness, Pass it On!

“Carry out a random act of kindness, with no expectation of reward, safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the same for you.” -Diana Princess of Wales 

Wooden Sculptures by Artist Jeff Uitto

Good morning & happy Monday, loves!

Vincent Van Gogh once said, "If you truly love Nature, you will find beauty everywhere."
I believe this to be true, because I always say that the Earth is full of treasures. From the flowers blooming in the spring to the white blanket of snow over the mountains. Even Nature's leftovers can become a thing of beauty. 

A beautiful and creative mind has seen art where other people might have seen "just pieces of driftwood washed up on the shore" He gives it life. 

Friday à la française!

Yesterday I wrote a book review for How to Be Parisian Wherever You Are. Today, my outfit was inspired by that book and thus here we have Friday à la française!

How to Be Parisian. The Book Review.

I went into Barnes & Noble the other day and, like usual, I can't leave that store without buying a book. And there it was, sitting pretty on the shelf looking right at me saying, "Take me home, take me home!"  So take it home I did.

Art: Appreciation of the Arts

Paintings (or any art for that matter) are like the fingerprints of artists. Not one painting is ever the same. There's different emotions behind each one, different circumstances under which it was painted, different techniques used, and even different materials. Artists are their own persona, each one with their own experiences and knowledge. They each convey different meanings. In another words, every artist has its own language and it takes years to develop that language.
