If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint,
and that voice will be silenced.
Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.
For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream.
One must work and dare if one really wants to live.
I can't thank you enough for this post. I am a beginner when it comes to painting. I have taken one class and am scheduled to take a second in a couple of weeks. I love what you have included here because it is the solution to the approach I need to take to finish a painting that I am currently doing. Love the stuff you choose to share. Can't wait to get to your Secret!

And so your road begins, Laurie! So exciting that you are taking painting lessons. It will be very good to meet you at 21 Secrets.

Yes, I did go, Lyle. Yesterday. It was very wonderful. I especially loved that the exhibit included a wall of Japanese prints that VanGogh had taken so much inspiration from. Very rich show.

Thanks for posting these - I realize I haven't been looking at the stars enough lately.

If you are in the Northern Hemisphere, it is a particularly good time to look at the stars and planets!

Those are very fascinating paintings. Having those paintings in a free image will be such a great opportunity to use those kinds of paintings. I really want to them in my new website.
