Colorful Flowers to share

Flowers for you on this lovely Friday.

Take a peek at it or to purchase go here.

I'm fascinated by bright colors like this

I just love how creative and brilliant Mother Nature is

There's color in just about every flower

Just like these...

I have no idea what type of flower this is but isn't pretty?

Lastly I had to show you three shots of this one below it's like every angle was different

Wishing you a wonderful weekend.

Who said you couldn't?

Who said you couldn't?

Did you know you don't have to be a part of the wealthy elite to buy original art to start your own art collection?  I think a lot of people think "real art" is only sold in prominent auction houses like Christie's or Sotheby's or in local art galleries, wrong. That may have been the case 25 years ago but not today.

Who said you couldn't; start your own art collection?  You can, just about any one can, check this out...  If you earn a living of some sort, or you can afford to pay your cell phone, car pmt etc. you can probably afford to start your own art collection.

So unlike 25 years ago Artist's don't have to sell their art through local art galleries, they can sell their art directly to their customers at reasonable prices because they don't have to jack up their prices to split their profits with a gallery. This makes their art more affordable for you to buy that artists' original art.  

If you have a tight budget start your collection with a small painting on paper instead of canvas until you're your able to spend more money.

If you really like an artists' work and is a little out of your price range, reach out to the artist and let them how much you love their work, that you want to buy but can't afford it at the moment.  That artist may offer installments for the purchase I know several artists (including myself) that breakdown the cost of a painting into 2-3 installments for you to purchase.   It's an idea/suggestion obviously each artist is different but it won't hurt to ask.

So take a peek at the work of a few artist's just get on your fave social media outlet and search "artists".   Follow and like which ever you like and check out their blog posts to find about release dates for new collections (body of work) etc.

Just get on social media outlets like Facebook and/or Instagram and you can find different artists and their artwork follow them on those outlets, read their Blog, their posts and get to know what type of art they create and you'll find yourself admiring various artists and their work.

In an upcoming post I'll talk about Prints.

In the meantime if you still have questions just ask email me:

My Favorite Podcasts

I've always been a sucker for learning new things... reading has always been one of my favorite things but now that there are Podcasts and Audio-books for every interest so many of my books have replaced by Podcasts.  

This is what I have downloaded on my devices at the time.

For growth and personal development I listen to Podcasts and Audio -Books from:

Brendon Bruchard,

Brendon shares his story of sacrifice and struggle, from an awful accident that left him severely  injured and hospitalized to reaching success and going bankrupt to reaching his new goals through determination and perseverance which make him the man he is today.  Listening his podcasts makes you realize that focus, determination and perseverance is all you need to achieve your goals.

Wayne Dyer

One of the greatest spiritual, motivational and inspirational speakers of his time.  

Rest in Peace Mr Dyer.

 and Tony Robbins.

Tony is probably the motivational speaker I've been following the longest, definitely one of the greats in my opinion in the area of motivational teaching and coaching. I started to follow him on infomercials back in the 1990's.

For business:

Being Boss,

 The Strategy Hour

Advice on how to plan and achieve your goals through their own personal experience as business owners along with guests that provide further tips for entrepreneurs.

and Social Media Examiner

Great advice from guest speakers familiar with different types of social media platforms and how to  best utilize for your business.  

What are your favorite Podcasts?

Thanks for visiting.
