I accidentally found your blog when I googled that Eleanor Roosevelt quote, "do something that scares you everyday." I'm an artist too.

It looks great - just perfect for letting loose all that creativity in your own special place - and wonderful that you already have plans for some painting of loved ones to christen it.WrightStuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16684505907887354154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7352133.post-50514013524821463962009-07-06T23:32:36.686-05:002009-07-06T23:32:36.686-05:00wild bloom

One keeps the other from flying away in the clouds, I suppose.

Too many people just put a cap on 'what can be', and you don't! They don't know what can be done, but you do! I think your ideals ARE reality.<br /><br />:)Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04680903854519503303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7352133.post-18731689028850667362009-06-30T07:06:32.795-05:002009-06-30T07:06:32.795-05:00As always, dear Jessie, I love to see how your dre...As always, dear Jessie, I love to see how your dreams continue to come true.

Those windows! The porthole!

I love you Jessie. You rock in my book. <br /><br />I plan to visit you in your beautiful home one day too. That I promise!<br /><br />Plus, I just wanted to add...that right before each of my grandfathers died I had the silent, blessed moment to sit in their room with them and draw them one last time. My grandfather, who last passed away--his name was Connie. He died ten minutes after I finished the drawing. I hadn't seen him in years before that day. I think he waited for me--for our last moment together--for that drawing to be completed.<br /><br />Blessings to your new home Jessie--and let all the goodness of the big blue sky sprinkle love over your studio!!!<br /><br />Peace & Love.Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03445908859005616046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7352133.post-41364590942676638202009-06-28T23:47:34.325-05:002009-06-28T23:47:34.325-05:00When are you coming to New York?When are you coming to New York?Samosas for Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17532535045171367628noreply@blogger.com
