I hope with all my heart there will be painting in heaven.

I'm in the heart painting mode so I'm going with that for awhile. We are close to Valentine's day after all. : ))

just hangin'

Man...it's super cold up here. It hurts to breathe in this weather...yikes. I put my feet up earlier and was dreaming of warmer days.

fill your heart with art and hearts

Cool sneakers, dude! I used to have a pair just like them, now I just have one black and one red pair and neither one will be worn for a few months with this chill!

I like these paintings a lot, the one with the heart in the shoe especially. Such warm colors!

Love that quote! And Love the heart in the shoe. Also love the colors in the other one. I just love both of them! And you can always come visit me to warm up,the weather here is around 50 at night and low seventys during the day although we would probably stay inside and paint all day,I could use some help with my faces.LOL Keep warm!

Accompagné d'un petit verre de vin ... les yeux au ciel... Les rêves dans la tête... Tout va bien...
Le tout pourrait être un coeur généreux comme ceux que vous nous peignez admirablement...

I love what you said about Heaven, funny too because I was picturing Heaven the other day - one section (I hope) is a long aisle of art supplies . . . and chips. I'll see you there and Wanda-I'll be lookin' for you, too! Meanwhile let's hope it won't be any time soon! Stay warm and keep painting!

Great hearts very appropriate for Valentines day. My great grandfather who was a free spirit "cowboy"-artist was born on Valentines day and was named John Valentine Keimig.
