The only things in my life that compatibly exists with this grand universe are the creative works of the human spirit. ~Ansel Adams A slow moving or still body of water can be a great place to reflect on life. Especially if your life feels slow moving 🤣🤣🤣. Anyone else here on Instagram feeling like life has become quite still? #stillwater #waterart #landscapeart #mountainstreams #natureart #natureartwork #ilovenature💚 https://www.instagram.com/p/ByBOvTOFl8e/?igshid=17xoer63yim69

Your competition isn’t other people. Your competition is your procrastination. Your ego. The unhealthy food you’re consuming, the knowledge you neglect. The negative behavior you’re nurturing and your lack of creativity. Compete against that. ~Leora Edut This quote is one of my favorites from @goddessonthego1 and is just brilliant in my opinion. When I first read this quote, I sat back and my mind was blown. This has nothing to do with anyone else. It is all about me and the excuses I make (or don't make). My success is my own to own. The question is what will I make of it and how healthy will I be? I will now choose choose to define success by how healthy I am as a result. My business is growing and my path becomes more clear all the time. Letting go of the ideas that hold me back and forming the future in my mind as a positive place is a wonderful way to live. What do you feel is the #1 struggle you are having with your business today, and is it internal or external? #womenentrepreneurs #mompreneur #mypath #highvibration #highestpotential #home #heart #interiordesigner #colourpsychology #colorful #innerpeace #consciousliving #heartopenliving #authenticliving #highestgood #intuition #homedecor #spirituality #homedecorating #followyourheart #clearthemind #accessthesubconscious #personalpower #livethelifeyoudream #brightideas #followyourtruepath #selfempowerment https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxyl4n-nxwe/?igshid=19h4f9fwkmbty

The only limits to the possibilities in your life tomorrow are the buts you use today. ~Les Brown So true on so many levels. Opportunities become regrets when time passes and what was missed becomes apparent with the passage of time. How many times do we feel passionate about something and then talk ourselves out if it in the next heartbeat? This thought pattern can become deeply ingrained if we are not careful and lead to what might have been. These fish swimming round and round in this pond are reminding me that I have a choice to do something other than circle my thoughts endlessly. I can go out and explore new adventures and find new possibilities. Enjoy the gorgeous path in front of me and the colorful photos along the way. Les Brown is one of my favorite motivational speakers and this quote found it's way into my heart and then onto my art 🤣🤣🤣. In case you are still reading to the end of this post, stay tuned.... I am starting a new business venture that I plan on launching at at the end of June. Until then I will be sharing more business related quotes and motivational art. It's fun to make and keeps me motivated here at my desk 🤣🤣🤣. There is just something about the combination of colors, words and photos that I really enjoy. So enough about me already.

The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us, and we see nothing but sand; the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone. ~George Eliot Light coursing through water or water flowing through light? Photographing the surface of water is one of my favorite things to do 🤣 Each time the shutter clicks there is a new reality frozen in time for a moment. I am mesmerized by each one. Wondering whether I am capturing a soul or a moment. Someone back to say hello, merely passing through or completely oblivious. I believe that time overlaps reality and everything happens at once. How many layers are there that we just don’t see? Take a minute, sit with me here beside the river and tell me what you see..... #goldenwater #goldenart #goldart #abstractarts (at Boise, Idaho) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxtaz6pnSag/?igshid=1s29jat5b91c7

That which God said to the rose, and caused it to laugh in full-blown beauty, He said to my heart, and made it a hundred times more beautiful. ~Rumi A sun kissed pink rose on Sunday ♥️ it doesn’t get much prettier than this. The layers in many roses fascinate me. The way that they can twist so tightly into a small bud and then open so completely to the day. It’s all so perfect, kind of like a dance. The choreography of nature and God. Go into any garden and find a mystery 😉 #roseflower #springflower #springflowers🌸 #pinkflowers #pinkflowers🌸 #pinkart #rosegarden #roseart #pinkrose #pinkroses https://www.instagram.com/p/BxqdkCAHDbA/?igshid=1afc0hq6fyzaw

People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built. ~Eleanor Roosevelt Roses are yellow today and remind me of sunshine and optimism. I can almost see a celestial hand come down from heaven and color in the tiny little details in this flower. Tiny little miracles unfolding all around us everyday. Oh yeah, they also smell amazing 😉 When was the last time you wandered through a rose garden? #roseflower #springflower #yellowroses #yellowrose #springgarden #springgardening #botanicalgarden #interiordecorator #photopainting #mixedmediaart #mixedmediaartwork #artinthepark #decorator #instagramartists #artoftheday (at Boise, Idaho) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxjE1d_nId9/?igshid=r25ume98pvi8

The supernatural is the natural not yet understood. ~Elbert Hubbard How amazing is nature? This pink rosebud is so perfect and fresh and all natural. Growing and stretching into the sunshine and spring morning. The contrast of pink and green is also magical. Perfectly planned to delight the senses. It’s a bit of a shame that the bloom won’t last long but it will bloom again. This flower almost reminds me of a bride on her wedding day. What do you see in this pretty flower? #pinkroses #pinkrose #springtime🌸 #boiseidaho #botanicalgarden #springflowers🌸 #springflower #roseflower #apartmenttherapy #interior_designer #interiordecorator (at Boise, Idaho) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxgb2sknWAR/?igshid=fjsjznsbl7sk

You must enjoy the journey because whether or not you get there, you must have fun on the way. ~Kalpana Chawla These yellow iris flower have a beautiful yellow color and they also smell amazing! So many times I see them and walk on by. Today I stopped to enjoy them in a different way. Life keeps reminding me to slow down and enjoy it. When is the last time you stopped and smelled the flowers? #springflowers🌸 #flowershow #smelltheflowers #gardenart #yellowflowers #yellowflower #flowerart #flowerartwork #boiseidaho #idahoexplored #boise #instaflowerslovers #instaflowerslovers #apartmenttherapy #interiordesigns #interiorart #wallartdecor https://www.instagram.com/p/BxbU0vvHIip/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1k993lb75nrfd

There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it. ~Edith Wharton Ok. So I love a good mystery photo and this one seemed perfect for today. This small scene played out in front of me and I giggle each time I look st the photo. I know what I took a photo of and then I see what it looks like 🤣🤣🤣 to me anyway. What does this photo remind you of? And/or what do you think it actually is? #abstractphotography #abstractphoto #boisebotanicalgardens #boise #boiseidaho #boisephotographer #springtime🌸 #idahoexplored #springgarden #gardenart #abstractarts #funnyphotos #photooftheday #instagramphotos #artoftheday #humor😂 (at Boise, Idaho) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxU46XgHs3r/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ojqxgz0yjwqz

Every great story seems to begin with a snake. ~Nicolas Cage Lol! First you see the picture and now you get to hear the story 🤣 Our pretty little Bull Snake is on an adventure to places unknown. Chasing the sunshine and looking for friendly rocks and warm places. Making its way through the garden and into my imagination ♥️ Spring is here and I am loving the outdoors and nature’s beauty and diversity. I think that snakes are really cool and enjoy seeing them in the garden -from a distance 😆 Any other snake lovers out there 🐍? #snakeart #snakeinthegrass #springart #gardenart #botanicalgarden #springtime🌸 #boiseidaho #idahoexplored #idahome #interiordesigns #apartmenttherapy #boiseart #boisephotography #fineartphotos https://www.instagram.com/p/BxQ0PiRBpOS/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=4vfnwic1yh47

The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it. ~Henry David Thoreau Free Love is the name of my Photopainting today. Golden light blends with the water as fish swim slowly around and around. I am grateful for their beauty and grace today. Did you know that koi symbolism brings you the opportunity for transformation through meditation and altered states of mind. It is the gift of fantasy and dreams that come true. In other words, now is a good time to have faith and dream big! What dreams are coming through for you? #koifish #koipond #goldenkoi #fishpond #fishart #fishpainting #abstractartwork #goldart #emergingartists #emergingart #boiseidaho #botanicalgarden #interiordesigntrends #springart #gardenart #apartmenttherapy #interiordecorators (at Boise, Idaho) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxLzBPMBowp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15fpcs8pdb0yj

Change your thoughts and you change your world. ~Norman Vincent Peale I took a walk in the botanical garden yesterday and found a new friend. He was chillin in this rock and enjoying the sunshine 🌞 I don’t have a big rock to sit on today but I am going to find a fun spot to enjoy the afternoon! Happy Cinco De Mayo everyone! I hope you enjoy it as much as the lizard on this warm sunny day 🙏 #springsunshine #lizardsofinstagram #idahobotanicalgarden #boiseidaho #idahoexplored #springtime🌸 #idahome #boisephotographer #cincodemayo (at Boise, Idaho) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxFq7UuhOPL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=yu2c40yj0js

Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. ~Steve Jobs I have to say that I love what I do. The colors and shapes and in this case the gorgeous smells 😍 Flowering trees are a special treat in the spring 🌷♥️😎 Happy Spring Everyone! #happyspring #springflowers🌸 #springtime🌸 #idahoexplored #boise #idahome #boiseidaho #boiserivergreenbelt #boiseparks #apartmenttherapy #interior_design https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw_BWsvB5Ll/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=22wxw71n27bb

In nature, light creates the color. In the picture, color creates the light. ~Hans Hofmann Reflected on the surface of the water is the sky. Is that what you see here? Or do you see through a window into another dimension? Art reflects reality or does it? Either way I am totally loving the #boise river in the spring! #idahoexplored #boiserivergreenbelt #greenbelt #boise #boiseidaho #idahome #idahome❤️ #boiseartist #boisephotographer #springtime🌸 (at Boise, Idaho) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw5ioh6BNwY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=hrnjtqsmrr7e

Just imagine becoming the way you used to be as a very young child, before you understood the meaning of any word, before opinions took over your mind. The real you is loving, joyful, and free. The real you is just like a flower, just like the wind, just like the ocean, just like the sun. ~Don Miguel Ruiz Today is my last day of my Antique Box series. My Photopainting is a leaf floating on an abstract sea. Reaching out to the sun and basking in its rays. As we float here together let your mind drift and melt into the liquid colors. Now look closely and tell me what you see. Is it still a leaf? #abstractartwork #emergingart #apartmenttherapy #photopainting #originalartworks #brightcolors #colorfulhome #interior_designer #interiordecorating #artoninsta (at Boise, Idaho) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw3XuVNBoPR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=fn7gvpe38z43

People are like stained - glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within. ~Elisabeth Kubler-Ross My Photopainting today is the second of my antique box series and I had way too much fun with the colors. With Photopainting I get to start with an original image and then make it my own. I adjust the colors and then the shapes and finally the composition. In this picture I am telling a story of a goddess trapped underwater. She finds the strength to surface and finds the light of the sun. Her essence shines brightly as it merges with the eternal rays 🌞 Bask in this glory with her and find the healing energy to take home with you ♥️ Tell me, can you feel it? #pinkflower #pinkart #antiqueart #antiquecollection #photopainting #springart #abstractflowers #originalartworks #emergingart #apartmenttherapy #interiordecorators #interiordesignstudio (at Boise, Idaho) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwxBkH5B190/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=nsbrcvtd2wt0

The best scientist is open to experience and begins with romance - the idea that anything is possible. ~Ray Bradbury A bit of romance was painted into this picture and so I named it “Hawthorn Romance”. Nature is alive with color and spirit which bring us the most beautiful colors and shapes. Can you see the wistful look and pleading eyes of a young person in love? The bouquet of pink flowers being gifted to a loved one. It is spring again and time to fall in love again!
