Clouds In The Sky And In My Heart!

Hopefully, this won't come out mellow dramatic. Just saying my peace. Been through a lot this last couple of weeks and seemingly no end in sight yet. Too many reminders today about how sad it is too lose those you love. Funny, how we go along in life with the silly belief, that people we love will be there through thick and thin. Yet, when the chips are down most of them vanish, better and faster than any magician could possibly attempt to do. Like Houdini, David Copperfield, Doug Henning or Criss Angel it is a vanishing act you do not expect and faster than the blink of an eye. It feels like a big black hole just comes along and swallows people up in it, and they seem completely unaware of the change in their environment. It is amazing! Guess that makes me a famous magician, it seems my abilities are far greater than I ever anticipated! It is playful joke, meant in humor. I am the All Powerful Diana! Wonder if I can get a TV show or a network program. Hey, you think HBO would like to do a series on it? My guess is probably not, but it would be a funny show!

The right look on your face, or the right sad tale to tell, can clear o room in an instant. The funny part is they would be offended, if you reciprocated in turn. It seems I spend a lot of my time helping others, when they are distraught, unfortunately, it appears this is generally a one sided deal. Who knew? The ones that do stick by are so rare and so precious, that even gold, platinum or the rarest jewels cannot compete! They have my hearts till death do us part. The love I feel for them is greater than any mountain or the great ocean. They are the real beauty of life itself, the joy of every day and the hope for a better tomorrow. Hope, blessings follow them in everything they do. That goes to all friends or that rare nature, yours and mine alike!

Well, been nutty around here. Ended up with unexpected company and have not been able to work on my drawing. So, not in any way trying to be short, I must return to my plans for the weekend, because time keeps on a running away from me and I still have so much to do. Hoping you are having a wondrous weekend, and that you and yours are blessed, sending out my love to you as always, diana

America's Got Talent?-I Vote Yes!

Well, just finished watching the final break down on America's Got Talent, in most cases I agreed with the judges. Some of the acts they let go, were disappointing. I do not wish to spend my blog focusing on the would, could heave and should haves of the show. I only want to point out that in America, we do have talent. I say kudos to those people who spend their lives trying to market their talents and gifts. I can understand the hard work and dedication, that is necessary. Unlike them I am not on a national program with my gift. The closet I would come, would probably The Next Great Artist. I however had never heard of it until it arrives on the television. I also enjoy that program, these shows inspire me on a bad day. They also give me ideas on how to greater expand the business, things I had not thought of to broaden my horizons.

I will say, I was disappointed to see the 17 year old boy go home, who flew the kite. I was truly awed by what he does, I secretly hope that some one finds a way to give him a platform. He is truly very enlightening to see! Good Luck To You! Back to business, I did finish the second painting to go with the first. It is highlighted on this blog, I hope you like it. To me they are a set, however, I do have them listed separately online. In these shops, it is hard for me to know, the best way to get a client base. I can only dream at this point that one day, luck will smile on me and I will have an opportunity to profit, from the thing I love the most! I am blessed that at this time, I am at least able to do what I love. If I did not have financial obligations, this would be enough. However, like most of you out there, bills keep coming, so unfortunately, I need cash, if only to buy more supplies to make my works of art. I have taken a break from all those needing therapy for now. Right now I am focusing on doing some serious cleaning and organization around the house, and of course, putting as much time as possible into making art. Luck can be a fickle friend, I do plan to take advantage of the opportunity for as long as I am able.

No lottery winnings to report this week, but tomorrow, I will be getting my tickets for the weekend, wish me luck! Not sure if baby sitting is on for the weekend, I have been off for two weekends so far. But I am sure some time tomorrow I will know for sure. It will be a nice surprise to see what they think of all the work I have done around here, they are so cute. Back to work for me, I do hope you have a wonderful evening. Smile, have fun and be blessed, that is my hope for you and yours this evening, all my love, as always, diana

A Rainbow Sun, Sara Jessica Parker, Oprah and Nine By Design

Well, I just got done watching Nine By Design, I recorded it. I love that show, it makes me feel hopeful for an abstract artist like myself. They seem to really love fun art, abstract art, and new concepts. One of these days! I have also been noticing the commercials for America's Next Top Artist, by Sarah Jessica Parker. It gives me a good feeling to know that there still are people who appreciate art and the difficulties of being an artist. I can't wait to see the show. I have always teased my friends one day you will see me on Oprah! It is interesting to see art so prominent and accepted on TV, even if it ends up being more reality TV, than documentaries, or educational. For anyone alive, it is always nice to recognized, just seen, a part of something real. Sometimes life can feel like a dream, people, just images floating by. Like a movie, no depth, no not like a movie. We can appreciate a character in a movie, or TV program better than some one we pass on the street.

It seems that we have lost the ability to connect or make connections with the people, the planet, the animals, nature, plants, water, air all that is truly real. We have filled those parts of our brains with characters with less substance. So many societies are completely disconnected with true life. I know it is good to disconnect at times, to stand back and reflect on something fantastical, it helps take the pressure off. Total disconnection is not good at all. I say this because we are all guilty, even I. I guess what is important is for how long and if we can pull out of it long enough to grow on every level.

On a lighter note, I finished another drawing, It is another sun, I am also working a different one. But this one was fun, lots of angels and lines, More geometric than the last one. I will post it with this blog. Hope you like it. I will try to finish the new one tomorrow and get it loaded on here as well. No great lottery winnings, just yet. But, I am sure all things are moving slow for me, because hope is dim. I am working on a brighter attitude to bring better prospects for my future into being. The lottery is all part of it. Focusing on good thoughts, positive imagery to help create a new life full of the beautiful dreams and thoughts, but no longer just images, reality!Love to you all as always, and would love to hear back from you, diana.
