“Vote”watercolor for 2012 Country Bears Calendar

It has been way too long since my last post and for that I apologize. Last week was really busy preparing for the Mt Pleasant show and so far this week I just haven’t had any good ideas to share. I guess I am suffering from burn-out.
The show last Saturday was terrific. My Mom and I had many laughs and we had the pleasure of meeting many nice people. Oh, I do have to share an embarrassing story with you all. A lady was in my booth looking at my prints and reading all the quotes when she said, “oh, there’s an error on this print”……..I wanted to crawl under my table I was so mortified! There it was…..glaring at me….I had painted “loose” instead of “lose” on my painting!!! I had made prints….I had posted the painting on my blog and facebook page, I had even sent the art to my agent on cd for her to license and none of us caught it!!!! Needless to say, I took the prints down immediately at the show and as soon as I got home, I fixed the painting….it is one of my favorites and just had to fix it right away. Anyway, thought you might appreciate that story.
I hope this post will unclog my “blog mind” and I can post more this week. Wishing you the best!

A Mother’s Prayer
God, give me wisdom to see that today
is my day with my children,
that there is no unimportant moment in their lives.
May I know no other career is as precious,
no other work so rewarding, no other task so urgent.
May I not defer it, nor neglect it,
but by thy Spirit accept it gladly, joyously, and by thy grace,
realize that the time is short and my time is now.
For children won’t wait!
-Helen M. Young

My Aunt Jeannette mailed this poem to me a couple of weeks ago and I hung it next to my computer to help me remember all the wisdom it holds. For time is short and our babies grow up so fast. I also chose one of my very favorite artist’s paintings to adorn this post. Mary Cassett’s art is simply beautiful and touching. Hope you enjoy…….
