Being Greatful For What We Have

Love God, Family, Country.  I am Thankful for so many things it is impossible to list them.  On top of that list is that I am still alive at 71 years old with the problems I have been having. So I am grateful for God's blessings and love.   Next, on the list of being grateful belongs to my family, friends and neighbors.  They made our Thanksgiving holiday the best, as they shared their food and love with us.  People are happier during the holidays I believe. Folks manage to still smile and love one another in the face of this countries adversities.  Say prayers for those people and countries who will not experience happiness this year during the holidays.  God will hear you and it will make you happier to.

Flag Chicken

After:  Our flag seems so far away from the presidential campaign, that it is terrible to think about  the half-assed way Politians' run the country.

To hot outside?  Stay in and paint a unique picture.  Doesn't matter what it looks like - it belongs to you and was created by you as a leisure activity.  It makes one feel good to be creative.    Life, it doesn't get any better than this. Be happy cuz tomorrow you may not be around, if you are old folks like hubby and I.  We take one day at a time and try to enjoy every moment.  Oh, also, do not turn on the news unless you want to get depressed.
Keep the faith, your friend, Cooky (aka Lora)

P.S.

I love this cat picture from pinterest !  Thank you so much to the artist who painted this.

Before And After Paintings

I love watching videos of "how to paint" everything A-Z.  Picked up a few new tricks and techniques.  However, talent eludes me even though, I continue trying.  I have to just consider my art works a hobby  and that's alright with me.  lol  Here is the before picture thatI tried to paint.  It was overworked, stressed, dull and unaligned to say the least.  

Before:

Here is the same painting after, I scanned it into the computer and digitally

cleaned it up a bit.

After:

Both paintings are cartoonish but they are still my style.  I wish I could paint and make it look like a photograph, but that isn't going to happen.  A hobby is worth the efforts made to learn how to do them and keep improving skills.  That is on everything from painting, sewing, cooking, etc.,  One never stops learning and that is ok.
