If art can make another think... and then smile... there is no other reason for making art... nor any greater compliment which one can expect from a peer that you admire and look up to! No more needs to be said... except...

Your comments warm my heart on a similarly grey... rainy and windy spring morning!<br /><br />It is uplifting to discover your comments each morning and somehow... I feel less troubled by the world and its senseless shenanigans to know that there are indeed others like me... in other places. Hope... springs eternal!<br /><br />Thank you Keith!<br /><br />A Happy Mother's Day to your wife!<br /><br />Good Painting!<br />Warmest regards,<br />BruceBruce Shermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13111784187521969252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013724465609653382.post-38231623450390459312014-05-10T06:10:57.406-04:002014-05-10T06:10:57.406-04:00HI there Mary!...

If only the world could join hands and share in the same way.<br /><br />All that we can do is to present our joy transparently and perhaps we can encourage even one more person to be uplifted and thankful. Then it is all worthwhile.<br /><br />Happy Mother's Day to a good daughter Mary!<br /><br />Good Painting!<br />Warmest regards,<br />BruceBruce Shermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13111784187521969252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013724465609653382.post-23963756570842375942014-05-10T03:31:55.555-04:002014-05-10T03:31:55.555-04:00Hi Bruce, this is a beautiful, uplifting post on t...Hi Bruce, this is a beautiful, uplifting post on the grey, foggy morning we have here today.

Thank you for your comprehensive comments... wisdom and enthusiam!<br /><br />Birds and other creatures that we share the earth with bring us so much pleasure and insight into feelings and qualities not different than those usually attibuted to the human species (by us) HAHA!! We never tire of watching every morning or during the day as we work in our garden and grounds,<br /><br />Family is the other half of Happiness... though at times some members come with their challenges... but so did we all along the way! Life is about triual andf error mostly. Norms and "rules" are made to be bent... or broken! That's how we raise the bar and grow as individuals,,, independent of our past and even our curent situations.<br /><br />Enjoy your day,... and Happy Mother's Day to You!<br /><br />Good Painting!<br />Warmest regards,<br />BruceBruce Shermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13111784187521969252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013724465609653382.post-11164340459451257742014-05-09T14:19:41.227-04:002014-05-09T14:19:41.227-04:00A beautiful tribute to your parents and family lif...A beautiful tribute to your parents and family life. Your paintings are full of color and are sensitive works. I haven't seen the large painting before with the birds it really is bonny, it is as if the birdies were having a conversation. I believe that those who were not blessed with a happy family life (no fault of the parents who were unhappy in themselves and too weary to give anything out) can create happy moments communing with nature and with good friends and find a kind of family life within that. The world outside is a constant companion during the ever changing seasons we have the house martins visiting our area again, the wild geese have left us again two weeks ago and now the garden sparrows and blackbirds enjoy their time in the garden offering hours of entertainment!
