A PATH OF SUCCESS IN ART
When we want to reach something, we have to follow a path, to get there, or to arrive.
What makes a painting or other art work stand out above others?
* Variety and meanings on more than one level
* How that meaning is portrayed
* complicated but not out of people’s reach
* unusual rendition of the subject
*passion of the artist for the subject
*touching other subjects than indicated
*mood, color, mood
For other subjects than art, you can tweak the blue parts of this model for your own interests!
Follow your nose,
the path to good food.
Nothing as tempting as an attractive restaurant door:)

One Word Photo and Makro Tex both asked for “Home.”
Since we are closer to winter, there would be no
better representation of home for me than the wood
burning stove. It is the heart of the home.
Even miss when it’s not on the rest of the year.
When you look up,
you may know rain may be coming.

I miss my woodstove on the RV trip. It’s woodstove fire time back home and I’m not there to sit in front to get the warmth and enjoy the view. In our RV we have a built in propane heater that we use at night. During the day when we have an electrical connection we use a ceramic heater that works pretty well in our small enclosed space. Of course, we haven’t had below freezing temps yet. – Margy
