This weekend I had the greatest idea for a new series of paintings! Well maybe not the greatest but a pretty good one at least…
I love reading inspirational quotes because they remind me how wonderful life really is when I forget and they make me feel better when I’m bummed out for one reason or another. So while trying to come up with an idea for a painting I thought I would transfer a quote onto the canvas (my first attempt at this) and see what came of it.
I ended up using two quotes on this one and I really like it even though its kind of messy… The quotes are from Mother Teresa and say “In this life we cannot do great things. We can only do small things with great love.” and The greatest disease is to be nobody to anybody.” The second one is a little hard to see but it’s there towards the bottom.
These are two of my favorite quotes because I tend to never be satisfied with my work. Wether its my art, photography or any number of things at home, I always feel like I should do more or do it better. The next is because it’s so important for people to feel loved and cherished. I’m so very grateful and lucky that I have a husband and 3 little people who love the whole me, mood swings, attitudes and all!
Anyway now you have the story behind this one. Here are two pictures of the painting, one is a close up of the two quotes from the wonderful Mother Teresa.
I hope you all have a wonderful day!
