Show love | Draw a heart

You keep this ol’ heart from growing cold

It’s been awhile since I posted any art. I have been busy writing. Not to mention trying to keep up with my four kids. We are starting to gear up for our move back to Los Angeles. Which isn’t easy when you have 4 kids, 2 cats and a lizard. Imagine all the work it takes getting a circus moving. We have really missed the weather and our old friends.. It’s been a cold winter here on the east coast. I hope this will be our last winter. I don’t really need to see snow again. One of the nice things I have been doing is reading again. I’m really trying to make money with my art. It hasn’t been easy.

I’m really thankful for any one that checks out my art. My goal is to send out a positive message. I need to focus on the writing aspect of my blog. I can ramble on. I am working on adding material that will be helpful in people’s lives.

Deep in the depths

Deep in the depths
under it all
our love flourished

I have been posting art with the theme of love for over three years. In all that time I haven’t had one piece get more than fifty likes. I keep spending money. I’ve redesigned my website three times. Its do for another overhaul. I don’t really like this layout. I buy more and more art supplies. I bought watercolor paints instead of a winter jacket. I’m planning on taking an art class online this year to improve my skills. With so little attention you may ask why do I keep doing it. Well I believe in the power of love. If one of my pieces get a person to think about love than its been worth it. We can never have to much love in this world. So I will keep making pieces.

Draw a heart. Show love.

Sharing rubble

When the world ends
I’m glad we will be
sharing a pile of rubble together

Got a lot done today. Helped my dad clear out his garage so he can put a model A car inside. He is so happy that he is going to restore an old car. I hope that my son and I will be able to help him out some before we leave. The wife looks to be sick. It’s going to be long night.

They took all my gold

Ha Ha Ha
Ha Ha Ha
Why am I laughing?
They took all my
Gold
every cent out of my
Pocket
and let me keep all the
Love
You gave
to me
The fools

When you talk about love being the most important thing people laugh.

Yet in movies when the bad guys want the hero to rob break into somewhere valuable they take his family. He had the ability at any point to do the robbery himself. He didn’t because his family was more important then money. At the end of the movie the hero gets back whats important. How come we can’t see this in our own lives.

FOr me its about finding balance between work and family. Don’t get me wrong I love my work. I love my family more. That isn’t always apparent to them. When I devout most of my time making money that think thats all I care about. They want me more than they want stuff. I try to think about work as a lease on my soul. I don’t want anyone to own it. My life should be mine first not my employer. During this time when most of us get a break from working try to spend as much time with your loved ones as possible. You will be much better for it.

Only bet on love

I only bet on love

looking forward to a morning I don’t have to get up early. I over slept this morning. I only do that when I’m sick. Every muscle in my body hurt today. That didn’t stop me from getting up. I had to get the kids ready for school. I had to make money to pay for bills. When I came home it was snowing. We slide into the driveway. Lucky no accident. When I got inside my 3 year old reminded me I promised him a hamburger if he was good. I didn’t want to go out. Yet I did. That is what love does. Now I hope they let me sleep in.

How I feel

How I feel
after seeing
you

Spent the whole day fighting a migraine. The guys at work felt sorry for me. I was able to break through the other side around 4pm. I had a teacher conference for my oldest daughter. I filed for our new health insurance. I am exhausted. Need a good night sleep. Will need to snuggle with the wife tonight. That always makes me feel better.

Me you sandwich

I love the
Me you sandwich

It should be you me sandwich but I like the sound of me you sandwich better. I haven’t been feeling well lately. Really tired. I was mudding a wall today and the pan felt so heavy. I don’t know if it’s a lack of sleep. The hose to our RV froze last night. I woke up to no water. It had dropped below freezing last night and our hose hook up cost 230 dollars is suppose to heat up when it gets cold. It shouldn’t freeze unless its 45 below zero. Well it can’t work if the outlet its hooked up to dies. Which is what happened. I got a new GFI outlet at work today. Will replace tomorrow. Not a big fan of the cold. I can’t wait to get back to Southern California.

Always jumping

We were always jumping in the air.
we never knew why.
Until you landed in my arms.

Running a little late today. Last night everyone in the family was up in the middle of the night. My wife got up to the kids eating waffles. Everyone was in a good mood despite the hour. I knew though in the morning the kids would be cranky about getting up for school. They weren’t to bad. Christmas is around the corner. I have no idea how we will make it. We don’t have a tree. When you downsize your life it’s hard to fit a Christmas tree in it. We will hardly have room for the presents. At least we have a roof over our head. Things are tough but we are getting by. I have good feelings about next year. I really plan to get my book done by the end of the holidays.

Writing love stories

we spent all day writing love stories
then we would spend all night living them

I consider this piece a work in progress. I had a rough day. My stomach has been going crazy. I pray I don’t have the stomach flu. My three year old just spent two days throwing up. I am not looking forward to two days of hanging with a bucket. Need to get some sleep.

Draw a heart. Show love.
