This is not the usual newsletter you get from me every Thursday. Today is different because of Sage, my new 12 week old female Sable German Shepherd puppy.
As you can see from her picture she is cute and that is probably the only thing keeping her alive at the moment. Chewing everything in site has caused some issues.
So, with this said I am going to blame her for not having the time or energy to write a proper newsletter. (and quite frankly it doesn’t phase her a bit to be used as the culprit.)
Actually, puppies have a lot to teach us as artists.
Here are a few “Puppy Lessons”
Puppies have unending curiosity.
Puppies enjoy the journey.
Puppies fall a LOT.
Falling is part of life and puppies don’t take it personally …they just get up and try again.
Puppies live in the moment.
Puppies look at life as one big adventure.
Puppies love to learn.
At the end of the day they rest, dream and never think about who said that nasty thing to them.
It is their innocence and resilience that connect our souls.
Take a couple of these puppy lessons and apply them to your art life.
Bet your colors will become brighter and the painting that failed to birth into her projected greatness will be gracefully set aside to be viewed and perhaps repainted another day.
Remember, You are the lucky one. You see what others may never take the time to see or feel.
Art opens images of the world, which have been seen by the eyes of to the artist’s soul…
