I have a very patriotic,
artistic neighbor living across the alley from me. She has the alley
behind her fence decorated among other things, with an American flag
painted on discarded pallets. There is also a wooden stand with a
large wreath of flowers. A Halloween pallet is also painted with
humors designs, and writings, and I didn't especially look for other
art works. I haven't met this lady, but I would like to sometimes
since I am an artists, and an American Patriotic. I've also seen a
pallet with the Denver Bronco's emblem painted on it. It stands on
the front porch of my son's neighbor. I have a grandson who is very
creative with video commercials, that I am proud of. He is also very
humorous, and I trust he will be able to hit the jackpot with his
impressive, humorous, advertising videos. Nothing can be more
rewarding than doing something with our lives than creating something
interesting that makes others see the first time object that was
created within us. For retired people such as I, it's a great hobby
to say the least. I never want for an idea for something to paint.
It's just that I never seem to think I have finished the piece. That
is one of my artist faults. The longer I work on something, the worse
I make it look. There is an art in knowing when to sign the work.
It's called a problem of perfectionist, which it's up to the
individual artist to decide when it's perfect, and no one else. The
flag I've posted painted on the pallet is weather worn, has damage
places, and does not have fifty stars or thirteen strips, but it is
speaking to the alley cats, or dumpster visitors, or whoever else
needs to enter the alley. I think we should always find a place to
display our art, even if it doesn't seem interesting. It is speaking
of how many hours, days, months, years, and backbreaking effort
someone made to create it.
Every billionaire had an idea before they became one. Although not all billionaires had an honest idea, many did. It takes an idea, an honest mind, a positive determination, and a lot of other gifts that you do not know you have, to make that dollar turn into a billion. I missed the chance because my life is almost finished, but I hope others will not wait too late to take the challenge. It's not about money, but about who you are. Life is too short to accept defeat. Never give into the lie that you are a nobody. Enjoy yourself and whistle while you work. If you need constructive criticism contact me. I can take it, and I can give it. No guarantee, but anything is worth a try. Most of all have faith in yourself since you are a child of the King.
God Bless
