Do You Believe in Magic?

WIP - Pastels on Pastelboard
Do I believe in magic?  Maybe.  I want to.  Whenever I look at the sky at night with all of the stars twinkling, it seems magical. When I am painting a picture and I plan on spending just a few minutes to get started and before I know it the afternoon is gone - it seems like magic!  I love the feeling of being so totally immersed in something that I don't hear the dogs barking, the phone ringing, or the television calling my name. It is as though someone has cast a magical spell over me and for a few hours nothing exists except my painting.  So I am going to have to change my answer. Yes, I do believe in magic!  It's wonderful, it's powerful, and it does exist every time I begin to create something new.  How about you?  Do you believe in magic?

It's Friday time to share what I am grateful for this week.  There are so many things to be grateful for this week but especially my husband's continuing good health. His experience reminds us every day that you can never take anything for granted and that you should never stop believing that things can improve. We just read the other day that they may have found something that could reverse his rare lung condition.  It didn't say when or exactly how but there is a chance which is incredible since just a few years ago many doctors did not even know the disease existed.  So I guess this is another good reason to believe in magic with a big dose of miracles and persistance and knowledge mixed in.

                  When you share your gifts and talents with the world, magic happens.  Let the magic begin.

Beautiful work! Your pastel paintings just keep getting better and better. I believe in magic now, too, after reading your post. Today was one of those lucky days for me when I had a lot of time to paint. Definitely magical!

What a lovely post Ginny. When you put it like that then I guess magic is all around us in all her wonderful ways as well. I really like the misty autumn feel to your pastel piece this week. It's certainly on its way here!

So that's what that feeling is....You are so right it truly is magical. I have a friend who never has time to create but wants to.When we get together she always asks me what I've been doing... this time I'm going to ask her to googles search my blog name on images.... Sometimes even the tiredness disappears as the hours fly by and it feels like all is well with the world....Beautiful post and artwork!

Hugs Giggles

such a beautiful softness in your painting Ginny. There IS magic in looking at the night sky with the twinkling stars, and I believe there is magic everywhere-especially in nature.

How nice to visit you again, Ginny! I do believe in magic, the special thing about magic is, you can't explain it :-) There are magic moments in life, others may call them spiritual. To immerse in art-making is magic for me too.
Wish all the best to you and your husband!

I don't so much about magic, but I am glad to hear about your husband's continued good health and the possible treatment of his illness. That is amazing and yes, magical.

Also, I agree about losing time and the magic qualities of creativity.
