One of my New Favorite Quotes

I love quotes...they inspire me to look at things differently, more positively--they can put things into a better perspective for me when things are frustrating, disappointing or even sad.  They also inspire some of my artwork.  One of my new favorite quotes is a portion of a poem by Osho.  I love the imagery of this..."let your life be a painting/let your life be a poem."  I've done two mixed media paintings with these dreamy words--here is one of them:


When I think of poetry I imagine powerful words, strong images, scents, feelings, music, memories, hopes, disappointments, honesty...
When I think of paintings I think of color, impact, feelings, emotions, music, love, honesty...

I guess these are all the things of life and then some...some beautiful, some messy--life.  What a great image in my mind.

  1. Jill, this quote is lovely. Thanks for sharing it. You know I love me some quotes too. And, the new blog header is great. It shows off current work/style and really grabs the eye. You are really sharing your inner beauty through your work and that my dear is what being an authentic artist is all about.

    1. Ann - thank you so much. Quotes are so great, aren't they? I just need to keep them in one area because I jot them down on different papers and notebooks and then can't find them all too often. Thanks for your sweet words.
