Wednesday ART THERAPY

So beautiful Ceee, and such a mind-soother just spending time admiring your drawing. The colours and the details are wonderful, great talent, thank you.

 

Rose thank you for the compliment. These are real flowering trees in the yard across the street. I am honored that I can enjoy the beauty of them without the work.

 

Greetings dear GIC friends:

Here are two fotos of my azaleas taken on May 2023 and May 2024. As I have taken care of my garden, I noticed every thing is greener and looks better, perhaps is my frame of mind?

 

How lovely they are Helena, it looks like you're taking care of your azaleas very well. These last 3 and a half years without my C I'm finding that being around nature and watching flowers and plants prosper are real mind-soothers.
Sending you a hug.

 

Hi Helena,
Thank you for sharing your Beautiful Azaleas. You definitely
have a green thumb, as I’m continually telling my daughter
About hers, plus her veggie garden.
Do you have any recent drawings? You and George
are blessed with your great talent in art.
Sending big hug, love , prayers.to you and others here.

I love the Iris in the spring but not as many as usual this year. They remind me there is always hope and we can find beauty in many places. HUGS to all and I wish you peaceful moments and beauty in your life.

 

Beautiful Ceee, thank you for sharing.
Sending peaceful days to you, too.
Rose

 

Summer tomatoes....good for our health!

 

Hello, one of the joys of living in the country are the beautiful and peaceful sunsets. I love sitting and watching the sun go down but it feels so lonely with out my special love to keep me company. Now he keeps in company in my thoughts and dreams.
Hugs to all other sunset/sunrise watchers.

 

What a beautiful picture, Ceee. I live in the country too and I appreciate so much being so close to nature, I often watch the sunset over the hills around me.
Summer's here, wishing peace to you and everyone on this forum.
Sending some photos of Summer season colours.

 

Love the flowers and the beautiful blue sky and bright green trees. Such a peaceful picture. Thanks for sharing.

 

Helena you are such an inspirational artist Some how your picture brought back happy memories of picking and eating ripe tomatoes in the garden. Those were happy peaceful times. The kind we keep trying to find again. HUGS

 

What can compare with a lazy summer day relaxing while watching the clouds role by? May this picture give you a peaceful moment as it has me. HUGs and peaceful thoughts

 

True words, Ceee, yes, that picture arouses a sense of peace, nature at its best, beautiful.
A hug to you, too.
Rose.

 

Helena I love your art and hope you will post more. HUGS and Peace

 

Helena -Your winter piece from 2023 is just what i needed on this 100+ day. Yes there is air conditioning but that keeps us locked indoors in small spaces. I remember talk about using a camera and focusing on the beauty around us in the outdoors. A rainbow or a tiny colorful bug on a green leaf. I think that will be my goal for this month.
HUGS and positive thoughts are being sent your way. I hope you are having peaceful days.

 

There is beauty in changing of the seasons; each brings its own beauty. As seasons change so do we. We have the choice of being stuck and hanging on to the what was or moving on to what will be.
Fall may look like there is death as the trees loose their leaves and other plants disappear. Yet if we have faith we know it is a time to relax and renew and prepare for a glorious awakening.
It is a time for reflection. A time to remember loved ones no longer with us and know like the plants they are going through a change and there will be renewal for them. It is a time to look forward to the time we will also change and be renewed in another way. It is a time to see the beauty in what was and know that beauty will always be a part of us just as our loved ones will always be a part of us. We need to remind ourselves that it is ok to remember the what was and begin to prepare for the new season of life ahead.

 

A real beauty, Ceee, thank you for sharing.

 

Ceee,

I feel that The Divine put your lovely message and exquisite photograph in my Inbox this am.

I say this, because just this morning, while visiting my family in Northern California, I remarked to my son on the incredible beauty of the gingko trees which were resplendent in gold finery before they will soon drop all their leaves at once.

What a treasure you are --- and all of your kindred souls on GIC, like Rose and Helena -- who express gratitude for the beauty of nature and share it with the rest of us.

Georgine

 

I am hoping more people will post here. I miss seeing the input of others
HUGS and peaceful days.
