A Little Piece of Bethville

“I hope you will discover and enjoy the benefits that aging can bring; wisdom, depth of character, the smoothing out of what is rough and harsh, the evaporation of what is inconsequential, and the concentration of true worth.”
– Andrew Weil, M.D.

A Little Piece of Bethville I – Watercolor

Here’s another glimpse of one of my Bethville paintings. 
As 2011 draws to a close, I would like to thank those of you who read this little blog and take the time to “like” or comment.   I really enjoy sharing my little artistic endeavors.  Here’s wishing you a very safe New Year’s Eve and A Wonderful 2012!!    See you on the other side! 

Andrew Thomas Weil (born June 8, 1942) is an American author and physician, who established the field of integrative medicine which attempts to integrate alternative and conventional medicine. Weil is the author of several best-selling books and operates a website and monthly newsletter promoting general health and healthy aging. He is the founder and program director of the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine (formerly the Program in Integrative Medicine), which he started in 1994 at the University of Arizona.   He is frequently criticized for his promotion of alternative medicine,  drug use and the potential conflicts of interest this raises in relation to his business dealings.  More at Wikipedia

New Year's Eve - Party Frog Painting

“Man can only become what he is able to consciously imagine.”
– Dane Rudhyar

YES!



Party Frog
2.5″ x 3.5″ ATC

You had to know I’d have a party frog in my collection.  I cut this little watercolor frog out and glued him on to an ATC that I dabbled dimensional acrylic paint onto.

I hope everyone has a safe New Year’s Eve, followed by the most joyful 2011 that you can stand!

I don’t really do New Year’s resolutions.  I have spent the last 100 days working on my goals and putting everything in place for an amazing 2011.  It has been rewarding and eye opening.  I’m especially working on my focus.  I sometimes have so many things going on at once that I focus on nothing.  I plan to rotate tasks, rather than multi-task,  to give each day a better concentrated attention to the things that are important.

How about you?  Resolutions?
