It’s been a very busy weekend so I will keep this post easy for me and hopefully inspiring for you. Enjoy!
“Landscape–Cambridge, England” acrylic by LR
One of my past phases of art, landscapes came from peaceful energy.
Now to the power of stick-to-it-ness, here’s a quote by Hokusai Katsushika.
“I have drawn things since I was 6. All that I made before the age of 65 is not worth counting. At 73 I began to understand the true construction of animals, plants, trees, birds, fishes, and insects. At 90 I will enter into the secret of things. At 110, everything–every dot, every dash– will live. To all of you who are going to live as long as I do, I promise to keep my word. I am writing this in my old age. I used to call myself Hokusai, but today I sign myself ‘The Old Man Mad About Drawings’.” ~Hukusai Katsushika
Your painting really does portray ‘peaceful energy’. It’s the representation of the perfect afternoon. 🙂
I hope it brought peace to your day! I love human imagination and it’s ability to escape, even for a few moments….

What a beautiful painting, Linda, and the quote reminds me of the wisdom of aging. We need to remind ourselves about that! Thanks!
Can you stay in the game long enough…maybe that is where the talent and ultimate wisdom resides..

I wish I could be on that boat in that tranquil setting! Gorgeous painting and the quote fits your passion as an artist, Linda.
There is something very inviting in this setting…..feel the warm sunshine, touch the cool water and smell the fragrant flowers hanging over the ledge…….

Hey, glad it helped and hope you caught up on the needed sleep….

Such a lovely piece of art. You are so talented! 🙂
Desire to do something, learn to paint, was the driving force and lots of perspiration and staying power.
