Art Washes Away the Dust of Everyday Life

Art brings so many blessings to our lives....through color, shape, and design. Here are some quotes by Picasso that bless my heart...

"Everything you can imagine is real."

"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up."

"Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life."

"The chief enemy of creativity is good sense."

"Painting is just another way of keeping a diary."

"To draw you must close your eyes and sing"

A very special day...becoming grandmother of two....

Psalm 127: 3 Children are a gift from the LORD; they are a reward from him.

Praising this very special blessing bestowed upon our family today....the birth of a precious baby girl, all 6 pounds and 10 ounces of her. I'm looking forward to so many things.... watching her grow; watching our grandson become a big brother; watching our daughter become the mommy for two little ones; and watching her husband become the daddy for two.....one little boy and one little girl.....watching my parents become "great" grandparents of this little girl....and watching my grandmother become a "great-great" grandmother of this little girl. We are parents of an "only" child... our hearts have so much room to love these grandchildren.....welcoming this baby with an open heart and outstretched arms.
