Catching up...

So, I just wanted to catch up with everyone :)   I thought you might like to know how the Katy Home & Garden Show went, and what is coming up.

Katy Home & Garden Show 

I have to confess...I have struggled a bit with calling the show a success.  I did not sell any art, so in that sense, I was somewhat disappointed.  

That being said, I am happy that I did it.  The great thing was meeting so many interesting people.  I chatted with people about art, life, ups and downs of remodeling, etc.  I met several artists, made some new connections, and learned a lot.  After taking some time to process, I can honestly say that I do consider it a success.

My biggest take-away from the show (so far) is that a lot of people want murals! The thing is, I have painted walls many times, but had not really considered doing murals, translate--art on walls.

I am happy to announce, that you will soon see murals  added to my business..so keep your eyes peeled!  :)

Classes at Hobby Lobby!

I am now offering workshops at Hobby Lobby, located on Fry Road @ Grand Parkway in Katy, Texas.  

Think Painting with a Twist with a twist.  I will guide you through creating an original abstract painting that you will be proud of!  Its still no pressure and lots of fun, you will learn specific techniques for completing the painting that is offered that day. You do not need any painting experience to take this workshop.  

For details, click here.  A calendar with upcoming projects will soon be appearing on ColorMeCreativeArt.com

So exciting!!  :)  

Coming up on the blog...

I will be doing a short series called, "A Simple Guide to Art".  I will be sharing how to choose art, how to light art, where to buy art locally, etc.  If you have any questions, just leave a comment on my site or FB page.  I will do my best to answer!

Looking forward to your comments and feedback!  Also, if you know someone who loves art, please share this!

"Me He caught--reached all the way from sky to sea, 
He pulled me out of that ocean of hate, that enemy chaos, the void in which I was drowning...
He stood me up on a wide open field.  
I stood there saved --surprised to be loved"  ~Samuel

My word for the year is Possibilities.

Possibilities are things that may happen--potential, opportunity, hope, risk.  Risk is inherent in possibility.  It's funny to me that the opposite of possibility is certainty, safety, a guarantee...all of the things we think we want, but never seem to really happen.  

There are no guarantees in life, only possibilities.  How we respond to those opportunities makes all the difference. 
"You do not need to know precisely what is happening, or exactly where it is all going.  What you need is to recognize the possibilities and challenges offered by the present moment, and to embrace them with courage, faith, and hope."  ~Thomas Merton

Possibility is a wide open field.

The potential for anything to happen.  This year, let's choose to embrace possibilities....the many opportunities that present themselves every day.  We can let go of the fear, take the leap, and see what happens.  


We can Be in the Moment.

Let's see how many smiles we can bring by taking the risk of putting ourselves out there.  We can change the world, one smile at a time!

I'm expecting great, amazing, heart-lifting, wonderful things in 2014.
Please let me know about your possibilities for the new year!  Comment below, and connect with me on social media :)
