There's nothing better than gathering around the table for a evening of healthy competition.  We groan at our bad luck with the dice.  And there's so much laughter when things take an unexpected turn.  No matter who wins, at the end of the night we're all a little bit closer after quality time together.  What are your family's favorite board game?

Where this path will end is a mystery.  The trees rustle in the breeze stirring up the aromas of the forest. A freshness one always has to remind themselves of in civilization. The light refracts in strange ways at this time. It's when the surreal becomes the real.

Is there a place you go to relax?  Is it wide-open or cozy?  What do you see, hear, smell, and feel when you are there?  Is it a place where you can be by yourself?  What about it makes you feel good?

The days of summer.  A time to appreciate all the wonderful moments we're experiencing.  The trips to the lake for boating and swimming.  And absorbing the light and warmth from the sun.  To reflect on how grateful we are for all that we have.

What do you think about the artwork on your walls?  How do you capture your memories.  Does that make you happy?

☀😎 Under the Sun 😎☀

 Brightscapes: The Way To Beauty


How do we want to remember this summer?  There are only so many hours of sunlight.  Not nearly enough warm nights for sunsets.  And very few minutes of counting shooting stars while making s'mores.  What about summer makes you happy? 

Art is about capturing the moments and emotions of today.  When we see a painting on our walls it allows us to reminisce about those feelings.  It tells others who we are and want to be. A few select pieces end up in museums documenting our memories of relationships, events, restlessness, maturing, work, and love. What does your art say?
