October 13, 2012 In branding, creativity, design By Patricia Saxton

52 Weeks of Peace [squared] / Week #75

The intertwining of colors and textures. The weaving of comfort and protection, warmth, pleasure, practicality and play into numberless long-lasting things made with love… So much goodness in one ball of yarn. So much peace it can bring.

“Grace Meets Gordon”… Kinship. Recognition. “Grace Meets Gordon”… Kinship. Recognition. A uniting of souls. Inspired by my dragon illustrations and my client’s passion for dragonflies, these two special beings came together for a 30”X30” portrait in oils. There’s a potent magical presence between them - and aren’t they a good-looking pair! :) It’s been a pleasure bringing them to life; now they’re off and flying to their east coast home. 🎨❤️🐲 . . #originalart #oilpainting #fineart #dragon #dragonfly #gordon #grace #inspired #artcommission #magical #art #creativity
Four more”Golden Hour” paintings heading out t Four more”Golden Hour” paintings heading out to east and west coasts, each one a Sedona landmark. As you can imagine, Sedona’s natural beauty has long been a much-loved subject for artists. Years ago I painted the scenery in a more classical style, but living here made me want to infuse any landscape art with a really fresh interpretation – and I was willing to wait for that expression to bubble up. That patience resulted in a first set of seven small but bold, bright, energetic pieces that capture a particular essence. (And as always, stay tuned; there may be more to come!) Many thanks to my new collectors. Enjoy them well! :) . . #fineart #originalart #landscapes #paintings #sedonaarizona #redrocks #landmarks #expressive #artisticexpression #inspiration #color #creativity

You cannot eat a cluster of grapes at once, but it You cannot eat a cluster of grapes at once, but it is very easy if you eat them one by one. —Jacques Roumain ……. Multi-tasking is overrated. We all do it, and, sure, it makes sense sometimes. But here’s what I think are better ideas: Savor moments. Be present. Listen well. Speak thoughtfully. Pay attention to what’s at hand. And for goodness sake, don’t rush so much that you miss the beautiful parts. . . #watercolor #art #fineart #originalart #grapes #simplicity #presence #artmusings

And it may yet evolve into something else. Such is the process at times. Sometimes you hit the mark, sometimes the mark hits you. Sometimes it’s a passing visit, sometimes it lingers. Not unlike some life experiences. 🤷‍♀️ . . #fineart #originalart #abstractart #musings
