Happy New Year 2014

 When you think of it...time is all we really have; make each year, month, week, day and minute count.  Do the things you love to do.  Share kindness and pay others with your time.  Do something for nothing.  Some think of it as karma.  and it circles back to you.

Singing Songs of What's Ahead!

Move over art world...okay just a bit...as I am joining the circle.  I signed up for LifeBook 2014 with Tamara LaPorte.  She has a joyous way about teaching.  I've been interested in making art for some time now and plan on giving more time to my passion.  

I am also new at blogging.  Do all of you really read all this stuff?  I am hopeful to include pages on art, reading, teaching and cooking.  Hope you check back and leave a comment to let me know what you like or dislike?  I am going to have lots of links, pictures, videos ....wonder where it all might lead.  Thanks for reading and don't be shy...check back as it will be a colorful, mindful and nutritious journey.

Happy New Year!  2014

Welcome! Art Journey - 2014

Welcome!

Christine Quimby Art…world…

Saturday's Inkspot and Sunday's Sunlight

here's to my new art adventure… and I am positively going to enjoy the journey!
I am an inspiring artist ...painting, writing, collaging, undoing, redoing, and making it better…
so many possibilities...

I fed the birds yesterday and good thing as it is snowing like crazy right now.  I am organizing my art space and making way for new art for 2014!  I am inspired by Tamara LaPorte over at willowing.ning.org….she is terrific!  I just watched a three part vimeo on 'Summer Girls' and hope to start my summer girl today….even though it's crazy snowing outside.  

My other heroine is Kelly Rae Roberts…wow!  she is sunlight in the park! 

dear quiet
Kelly Rae Roberts, artist

 I am reading her ebook on making your ebusiness thrive.  Her first advice is to start blogging…so here I am!  I am so busy with teaching third grade that I always move my passion to the back shelf.  My New Year's resolution is to make a more even balance between my two passions…teaching and making art!  

do what you love & love what you do!

"Live With A Thankful Heart"

Oh, and I also must mention another colorful spirit…SuziBlu.  I have been watching her forever.  I admire her willingness to make each day an art adventure and she shows you the simple extraordinary pleasures in the art  world.  She presently is creating art travel journals.  She is so creative and makes you want to grab those paints and go.

Check out my links to inspiration!  Find some paints and come along for the journey!
