Thomas Edison is right

 He Said that Genius is 1% inspriation and 99% perspiration.  There is no substitute for getting off one’s butt and practicing/ just doing it!

Alf and I got back from the Cambridge Center for the Arts, where the current show is the beautiful acrylic paintings by Amy ferrari. At times I marveled at how some pieces reminded me of the work of Alex Janvier, of Gerogria O’keefe, and Lawren Harris.  I have been meaning to do more painting and drawing, and I am certainly inspired again after seeing this show.

My next bit of inspiration comes from a garden blog I stumbled upon.  It is February already…and that means one must start planning the garden for the summer ahead….I already know that my color scheme for the front will be intense pinks and oranges in black containers and other black accents. ( this is not only planning for the summer, but of course halloween….you can never be too prepared for halloween!)

I really enjoyed reading her blog…I think I “merely scratched the surface”  but feel like she’s my lost twin… and look forward to seeing her garden develop ( she has just moved to a new house and has a blank canvas  to work with!!!

 one of the reasons I enjoyed reading her blog so much was that it is a nice little history of one’s work…and I went back and perused my blog….then felt sad that it has been so neglected…..but that in turn, renewed my vigour to revitalize my little cyber diary.
