Artistic Follow Through





"Some people have a hidden richness waiting to be discovered. They don't advertise it, but it's there for those willing to scratch beneath the surface."   John Mark Green

Beneath the surface simmers an interest we hide from others. It may be as simple as coloring with crayons, markers and colored pencils or strenuous as hot yoga. We may not disclose to others our private investment in flute lessons or enrolling in a photography class. Whether it is residue from childhood wishes or sudden insightful desires, we owe it to ourselves to follow through.

Artistic pause accelerates growth in other areas. As we dip our thoughts into colorful fancies, we interrupt mundane thinking and insert new perspectives. Our soul is uplifted by creative expression which impacts our attitudes and life styles. 

Creative moments awaken us to beauty.   Shadows and hues impact our moods.  Listen to the changing cadence in music and feel the body respond in positive rhythm. As we welcome various forms of beauty into our routines, the hours turn into strokes of genius.
