Extraordinary Things Begin to Happen

When you let your guard down.

Being an artist is possible at any given moment. 
We tend to forget we're capable of anything. 



Michael Birawer - artist


This piece - Calm Before the Purple

Just before the Minnesota Vikings played The Wisconsin Green Bay Packers 



We do not believe in ourselves

until someone reveals that deep inside us

something is valuable.

E.E. Cummings



Ready-set-go- Grab paint, brush, open white space, you decide.


 "If someone listens, or stretches out a hand or whispers a word of encouragement, or attempts to understand a lonely person, extraordinary things begin to happen."

Loretta Firzaris


Artists and merrymakers are enthusiastic about little things

happiness being the result of personal effort and

splashing that joy about one stroke at a time.



Cheerfulness is the atmosphere in which all things thrive. 
Jean Paul



A good friend is a connection to life. 
A tie to the past,
a road to the future
the key to sanity in a totally insane world.
Lois Wyse


This time of year I capture all those marvelous gifts of nature that soon for me will be covered in snow and ice.



Sometimes the little things in life are more than enough.

Lorretta Firzaris

You haunt the forgotten parts of us that linger in my soul.

Angie Weiland-Crosby






When darkness branches to your soul, light still finds a way to rise.

A. Weiland-Crosby


On the shore of nature's magic, I dreamed summer knew no end.

That being said-

Don't become so involved with life's duties that you neglect the pleasures of adventures and goodness of ordinary things all around you.

Me


Thanks for your visits they mean the world to me.

Take good safe care of you.
