  3. Lovely, lovely photo, and this quote is perfection.

    I have been thinking of you this week, which you will see when you have a chance to come visit my place. xoxo

    P.S. Like painter's boxes, paintbrushes make my heart beat faster.

  5. oh ... now more than ever i just want to paint ...

    first gigi's inspiration in her posting ...

    then lily's header at http://bigbangtheory.blogspot.com ...

    and you know what? i just discovered this very same inspiring quote at marisa's 'in the fish bowl' e-course at 'creative thursday' ...

    and my friend kim just showed me via skype her daily sign she just painted ... she is on a wonderful creative roll ...

    there is something very cosmic going on ...

    maybe we are all destined to quiet ourselves and paint this weekend ...

    you must be hearing our heartbeats across the land!

    thanks simply mel ~
