Friday's Special Moment of Gratitude

Last sky painting of the month. Definitely still a work in progress.
My goal for the month was to paint a picture every day of the sky and clouds.  I didn't paint every day but I did paint  20 out of the 31 days so I feel good about what I accomplished. This week I hung many of my paintings across a wall in my studio.   I have always felt that my paintings all looked the same.  But when I saw them hanging together I realized that althought the theme was often the same the paintings were different.  The sky might have been a morning sky or it might reflect a very sunny day or that a storm was coming up.  There is usually water in my paintings but it might be the ocean, or a river, or the lake. Hanging them up  together was a great way to step back and evaluate what I am doing and learning.  I realize that most of you already know what I am just learning but it always fun to share something new (at least new to me) with others.

It was fun to challenge myself in this way.  I am not sure what I will do for the month of June but I think this is a good way to keep growing and learning while really enjoying myself. 

My post would not feel complete without a few words about what I am grateful for this week.  As we begin this summer, my husband is feeling so much better than he was a year ago.  It is wonderful to be able to see him really enjoy what he is doing each day.  We have learned never to take anything for granted and for that I am very grateful.  

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

Great to see them altogether. 21 is pretty impressive to have completed. It's hard to paint every day...Wonderful visual history of your skies. Happy PPF

it's lovely to see all your work hung together like that and you can see that whilst the theme is the same, the pieces are each very different - like you said, all different moods of sky and landscapes. I also love coming here because you remind me to be grateful. I was just feeling sorry for myself because after failing to sell any paintings at last week's exhibition, I just got an email (that I was fully expecting) that I hadn't been shortlisted for the self-portrait tv competition I entered. I didn't expect to be but still decided to throw myself a pity party. then I pop over here and my equilibrium is restored as I remember that I should be grateful for all the good things in my life and the joy painting gives me even if I don't get anywhere with it.

The only way your paintings are the same is in the subject matter. Seeing them together shows how different and lovely each one is. I guess we are all learning all the time. HPPF

I am echoing Nic's comments. Every time I come here and see your lovely soft paintings and read your uplifting words it really makes me step back and look at my life with a fresh perspective.

Beautiful colors. I'm glad you showed all your sky/sea paintings. No two are alike. Each is a lovely art piece to itself.
