About Albert Schweitzer

Africa, where he treated and operated on thousands of people, including
hundreds of people afflicted with leprosy. He was also an organist,
famous for his interpretation of J.S. Bach’s music. Late in life, he
worked with Albert Einstein and Bertrand Russell against nuclear
proliferation. He was born in 1875 in Kaysersberg and died in 1965.

My Watercolor Christmas Postcard This Year

My Christmas Postcard This Year
Have yourselves a very Merry Christmas!
About Thomas Carlyle
Scottish
historian Thomas Carlyle is best known for his biographies of Frederick
the Great and the German playwright Schiller. He was born in 1795. The
first draft of his acclaimed two-volume work, The French Revolution,
was accidentally burned by his friend John Stuart Mill’s maid; he
rewrote it from scratch and imbued the rewrite with more passion and
immediacy than was common at the time. This made his writing very
popular in Victorian England. He died in 1881.

A House Portrait - My Big Brother’s Christmas Card
“The most successful people are often very intuitive.
Consciously or unconsciously, they follow their gut feelings. Following
intuition puts us in the flow – a very alive, productive, and desirable
state.”
~ Shakti Gawain
My Big Brother’s Christmas Card – His House Portrait
I was so excited to get my brother’s Christmas card yesterday. I painted this portrait of his house as a surprise when I visited him in Idaho in August. It brought tears to his eyes then… and to my eyes last night when I opened the card. I really love what they did for their card. It made my Christmas. (Love you Dine & Cari!)
It sure has been a long time since I posted here. Of course I’ve been busy at the sign shop, but I also have been preparing collections for art licensing and I’m saving the reveal of those until later. I’m headed to Atlanta in a few weeks and am excited about my trip to AmericasMart Home & Gift show. I was there a couple years ago, but got temporarily way-layed by that whole flying thing. I am now excited and back to business!
I hope you are all having a wonderful holiday time and are avoiding all the stress that comes with it. My hubby has recently had a hip replacement, so we are laying low and having a quiet Christmas. No stress there.
