Look Up!

                                        "This world is but a canvas to your imagination."  Henry David Thoreau

Every place I looked today there were people and cars and lights and noise.  Then after dinner I took the dogs out into the backyard and it was silent. When I looked up, the sky was a brilliant pink and dark blue.  It was as though I had stepped into a different world.  I have not taken time to paint all of this week but after seeing the sky, I knew that I had to hold the pastels in my had for just a minute.  This painting does not look anything like what I saw but it was inspired by the beauty of the night.

Tonight was a great reminder that I need to take time during this busy time of year to step outside and look up into the sky or across the field or down the road.  It was a reminder that there is beauty all around me but I have to take the time to stop and look and listen if I am going to enjoy it and be inspired by it.  

Each Friday I take a minute to share what I am most grateful for.  This week we took our grandsons to see a Christmas play.  It is such a delight to see the world through their eyes.  Santa was visiting and the boys were sure, or almost sure, that this was the real Santa Claus. I am sure that almost every Santa Claus is the "real" Santa Claus to them.  This is a magical time of year.  I love the decorations, and the lights, and the music.  But most of all I love to hear the laughter of children as they delight in all of the special things the season has to offer.  I hope that you and your family have a wonderful holiday season filled with joy and love and laughter!

          When you share your dreams and your talent with the world, magic happens.  Let the magic begin!
                                                                                                              Ginny

What a beautiful landscape anda lovely sentiment. I agree whole heartedly and have to say that I've done a lot of looking up since we moved to the North of Scotland. The skies are so big here and the stars so bright and recently we've been or staying up fora glimpse of the northern lights. It's awe inspiring. Wishing youa wonderful Christmas ginny. Xx

Ginny this is beautiful. The joy of silence, the joy of what is all around us and then to capture it in art. Well done.
Happy Christmas and the best 2014
