"Little English Cottage"


"Little English Cottage"

I watched "The Open Championship" for four days and there were so many inspirational moments. It was the best major I've seen, with just a few exceptions.  I have always loved the English gardens and the sweet cottages all over England and Scotland that I was inspired after watching The Open to paint one of those little cottages and gardens I have seen so often in pictures.  I painted this with acrylics in a "wonky" style that I'm taking a course in online.  I love it because you are supposed to paint without trying to be perfect...it's about having fun and painting outside the lines!  :)  It did make me happy and am going to choose another "something" to paint really soon!

Nostalgic this Independence Day Weekend


I'm feeling nostalgic today and am feeling I want to live a simple life continuing to be thankful that I have a home and land and am in a country-like environment where I enjoy the birds, squirrels, deer, bunnies and a back deck filled with pots of flowers and a pretty umbrella above my chair to cover me when the sun is too hot on my skin. 
And then I listened to the news and came to tears when I heard, again, that many children do not eat unless they are in school. In America? And my thoughts went to Hollywood celebrities and athletes - the millionaires and billionaires who live in the same country as the homeless living in tents in our cities and children going hungry. 
Yes, I am grateful to live in America where I am free, but as time goes by, the word "freedom" is becoming more hollow and today I wonder what direction our freedom is going. This isn't the America I grew up in.
 It's time for Divine intervention.  
Live simply...Be thankful...and Pray
