 “The sea is everything. It covers seven tenths of the terrestrial globe. Its breath is pure and healthy. It is an immense desert, where man is never lonely, for he feels life stirring on all sides.” – Jules Verne

Skeletons

For One Liner Wednesday I chose to post this interesting quote from George Bernard Shaw.

As I reflected and had a good laugh over  this sage advice, the color red sort of popped to mind and with that thought I went out and chose these two pieces of art to illustrate the point.

Clyfford Still

 “If you can’t get rid of the skeleton in your closet, you’d best teach it to dance.”

George Bernard Shaw

Edvard Munch
‘ Red and White “

 

Chillax

Yesterday I heard some people on my train ripping into their friends  ( God help their enemies ) because some of them are listening to Christmas music or decorating already.
This is how I look at it, the past year was bleak and dark and depressing. If listening to Christmas carols cheers you up, if putting up lights and little Christmas Villages on your table tops make you smile, THEN DO IT… 
The rest of you need to chill.
So here are some pictures of snow and a nice quote by Sylvia Plath to reflect upon.

A Line or Two From Andrew

I think these very wise words by the great artist, Andrew Wyeth applies to writers too.

Please enjoy these winter paintings by Andrew Wyeth and let his quote roll around in your head a bit. Together I find them to be very inspirational.

Andrew Wyeth

“I prefer winter and Fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape–the loneliness of it, the dead feeling of winter. Something waits beneath it, the whole story doesn’t show. ”
–Andrew Wyeth
