What a great waterfall and right in your backyard! Also to hear you talking about sleeping with your windows open - that is one of my most favorite things! And Hugo - what a sweetie!

Hugo seems to be having a great time. So nice that we are finally getting regular rain. Last week was just beautiful here in Texas! Happy Painting! Lisa

What a wonderful post Ann Marie! I love what creating does for my soul too!! You made a great point that the love of art also extends to surrounding oneself with art. And your husbands gift of the metal heart is very beautiful. Thank you for the inspiration!!

Loved your post, Ann. Creating art builds not only that which is created, but the one creating, as well. I can see how important it is to you and how it expands the essence of what is you.

Ann, I&#39;m glad I am one of those in your community. I know exactly what you mean it doesn&#39;t end with the creating does it?
