Mixed Media Monday - "Inspirational Words"


Hi Everyone....This week's theme on MMM...is Inspirational Words....and I wanted to create something as inspired by one of my favorite words..."Dream".....
All my life I grew up believing that anything is possible if you truly believe...and my parents always taught me this....it was this phrase that made me Dream all the time as a child....I wanted to be so many things but mostly in my heart of hearts I wanted to create and be an artist....I always felt that art would be a way to leave a foot print in the world...that even when I am gone people and children will know that I was here....and that dream grew in my heart each and every day till I was lucky enough to finally take the leap of faith and follow my heart....
I think we all need to take chances in life ....always ones we are comfortable with...but let me tell you the day you take that leap of faith on something you always dreamed of......may be the day you get to live your DREAMS!!!

Get inspired - My Artist friends....and my sweet sweet Husband Brad

Hi Everyone...I am so grateful for so many wonderful things in my life...Family and friends make everyday wonderful and I wanted to post today about some of the sweet people I am blessed to know.....

Firstly, I would like to say thank you to my Dearest Husband Brad...who makes my life a dream come true...he is the reason I can live my dream to create art each and every day...and he came home last night with some flowers for me....(for no reason other then he is happy to have me in his life) ....Bless his heart....
He always blows me away with his kindness and loving nature....


and now I will introduce you to some wonderful and talented artists I have met through blogging...I am grateful for their friendships and love that we can network and share our lives no matter where we live....


Marianne is from the Netherlands...but she travels the world each and every week it seems...Her blog is on my daily list as she has the most wonderful posts with her art, her loves, and her travels...

She is as sweet as they come....and sent me this Mandala she painted...She had it on her blog and asked that we all take a moment to try and name it....I titled it..."Lunar Eclipse" and she sent it to me!!! how sweet of her....she was in South Africa when she created this piece and sent it to me...

I was also lucky enough to meet the talented BJ Lantz....

You have all probably seen some eye catching art in shops all over...and more then likely the amazing artwork was the work of BJ....she has so much insight into the world of licensing your art that I am blown away...not to mention that she is one of the sweetest and most sharing souls out there...she send me e-mails with all kinds of wonderful information and I love her work...she is truly an inspiration...you have to pop by her blog and introduce yourselves to her...just say I sent you! She sent me all kinds of colourful goodies...I love her art!!!



and last but not least my dearest Kathleen, who is one of the most amazing illustrators out there....her work and style are warm and comforting. She has so many books on the go and you have to pop by her blog to check out her artwork...Whenever I feel down I just head over there and right away I am awakened to a new look on everything around me....

We keep in touch with e-mails but I sure wish we lived closer so we could sketch and drink lattes together.... She sent me the cutest note card with one of her wonderful illustrations and a cute mini card....I love it!

All this art will be framed and in my studio where I can be inspired each and every day....

Make sure you pop by their blogs and say hello...you won't be disappointed! if anything you might make a new friend that will inspire you!

Have a wonderful day!!!
Hugs
Diana
