I am notorious for killing all plants, even bamboo and cacti But THIS one, this beautiful orchid, I somehow have managed to keep alive for over four years, so maybe there is hope for my black thumb after all! My daughter gifted it to me on Mothers Day four years ago, so I wanted to do my best to keep it alive. When I got divorced 3 and a half years ago, it was one of the few things I took with me, for some reason it just felt important, and even more so to not give up on it when it didn't bloom for the past 3 years.
And finally I have blooms! I repotted it and started giving it more plant food frequently and it has transformed and is thriving. Moral of this story, don't give up on anything, or anyone (including yourself) that you see potential in, that has meaning and value to you, it's worth the wait to see the potential realized. For years I would create a new calendar comprised from my Circle of Life collection of bright, colorful landscape paintings. But, I've been slacking, I will admit it, and haven't created one for a few years, but I'm back at it and just released the 2021 calendar with all new designs! The great thing about these calendars is you don't have to dispose of them once the year is over, you can continue to display the calendar as art, or even remove the art pages from the calendar and frame them to enjoy for years to come. Knowing this I'm going to make a point of creating each new calendar with never before used art so you have the option to use the art in different ways for displaying in your home or office. For those who may not know, my Circle of Life collection is one of my post popular series I have ever created. The paintings are always super colorful, using rich, vibrant shades of every color imaginable, and always feature the black silhouette of a tree, surrounded by floating circles in various sizes and colors. My inspiration for this colorful and whimsical series comes from living life to it’s fullest and repeatedly seeing how the good and bad in life always come full circle. Gustav Klimt is another inspiring force behind my use of circles and other shapes in my paintings. His ability to take unrelated shapes and interpose them to create a painting of beauty and mastery is enthralling and inspirational.
“The nature of God is a circle of which the center is everywhere and the circumference is nowhere.” ~ Empedocles |
