Investigating Art and Finding People Connections

I've done some checking for introducing myself back into the world of painting with oils at The Wichita Center for the Arts!  Sad news is that I have to wait until Jan. 2012 before getting started. Good news is that it will give me time to get all my supplies rounded up again.  It is amazing all that is necessary to put something in oil on canvas!  There is quite a long list.  Thankfully, I do have some things from years gone by...however, oil is not something that lasts forever.  It will survive a long time...but, not the years I have let pass leaving this talent on the back burner.  It feels good actually to be thinking about it again.  To look back and think about all the time I used to spend on oil painting, tole painting, ceramics and crafty stuff.  My, I believe those were the good ole days! 

Now a days it is work, work, and more work.  Thank goodness for a great son, fab daughter in law and two beautiful, joyful and entertaining grandchildren to break away from the work.  Good thing I like what I do!  I love looking at houses...they are in fact a form of art from the architect!

Helping people find their dreams and move on to other dreams is very gratifying.  I try very hard to relay that to each individual I work with in a transaction.  Each and everyone is important to me and ads so much to my live.  Each one ads a special joy and connection to my physic that is indescribable to anyone but me.  People are unique and each person gives something of themselves to me whether they realize it or not.  I think we all are meant to give something of ourselves to those we meet and in turn they give us something.  Much of it is entwined so that we do not realize it most of the time until later on down the road.  I've become aware in the past few years and try to look deeply into those interactions and make sure I somehow give as much as I know how to give.  Each time, hopefully I learn more of how I am suppose to do that.
