One restless night back in March, unable to sleep, I had painted this in an effort to get sleepy.

/ May 1, 2012Another way to get sleepy is to start a wall mural. Or use 20 pound brushes.
Deb
/ May 1, 2012Both are not reasonable.
Cat Forsley
/ May 1, 2012BEAUTIFUL
NO WORDS

Cat Forsley
/ May 1, 2012I WAS AT THE SCHOOL WHERE I VOLUNTEER MOST OF THE DAY .,…
THAT WAS GOOD .
JUST RECOVERING FROM A LITTLE STOMACH BUG AND TRYING TO CHANGE BROWZERS ON THIS COMPUTER TO HAVE MORE ACCESS – LIKE UNIVERSAL ACCESS . CHANGING FONT SIZES ..ECT ,…. IT’S A BIT HARD SOMETIMES ….
I WON’T LIE – SOMETIMES I WONDER WHY I AM EVEN TRYING ….
YOU HIT A NERVE BUT THAT’S OKAY . I CAN’T BE HAPPY AND POSITIVE ALL THE TIME RIGHT ?
IT JUST TAKES ME A LONG TIME TO SEE THINGS THE WAY THEY SHOULD BE ……
BUT NO MATTER WHAT
THIS IS THE WAY IT’S SUPPOSED TO BE !
YOU KNOW ?
CAN’T FIGHT THE WAY I AM MADE ….
XX
THX FOR ASKING ………
LOVE XO BIG TIME XO
Deb
/ May 1, 2012I didn’t know you had been sick. I hope your on the mend now.
Making computer changes can be very time consuming at time, not to mention aggravating.
Why your trying. I think you know why. You’re just having an off day. Sometimes I feel that way too, but it does pass. The heart knows, what our minds cannot always understand, but we feel it.
I hit a nerve. Oh my, I hope I didn’t say anything out of line….I love ya, Cat!
Sometime we just have to let our hearts search and wait. It will gel together on another day…you’ll see.
You’re right where you are suppose to be today, Cat! And your caring and loving heart is still felt.
You be good to yourself, and trust God with all of your heart, and He will direct your path.
I’m here if you need me, Hon.
Hugs ♥ xx
Cat Forsley
/ May 1, 2012SORRY DEB. USUALLY I LIKE TO KEEP THAT NEGATIVE COMPLAINING TO MYSLEF …..
FORGIVE ME …..:(
HAVE A GOOD NIGHT XOXOXO
MUCH LOVE AND GOD BLESS
XX
Deb
/ May 1, 2012We all need to vent to someone who cares from time to time…so no apologies.
I love ya, Hugs, xx
Cat Forsley
/ May 2, 2012SORRY DEB ………..
😦
GONNA TAKE A BREAK FROM BEING ON WORDPRESS FOR A TINY WHILE ….
RE- ADJUST ……..
U KNOW ?
THANK YOU DEB ….
WISH YOU A LOVELY REST OF THE WEEK ….
XOXO
HUGGS AND LOVE
Deb
/ May 2, 2012Take all the time you need, Cat. I’ll be sending you positive energized thoughts your way.
Love and Hugs, xx
Cat Forsley
/ May 2, 2012THANK YOU DEB AND I TO YOU AS WELL ………
JUST NEED TO DO IMMERSE MYSELF IN MY WORLD OF MUSIC OR SOMETHING . I DON’T VOLUNTEER TODAY – SO I HAVE THE DAY TO MYSELF …….. JUST A DAY TO UNWIND …….. 🙂
I AM GOOD THANKS – A LOT BETTER THAN YESTERDAY AFT ……
I HAD SOME BIG GRACEFUL MOMENTS LAST NIGHT WHEN I REALIZED A LOT ……
🙂
SO THANK YOU XOXOXO
Deb
/ May 2, 2012I’m so glad you are feeling better today. I don’t like my Cat to not feel like herself. We all get days when we feel a bit different than our norm, but it give us an opportunity to grow more.
You are like a spring flower, misted with dew, opening up to greet the morning sun, reaching for your maker.
You have a restful day doing all the things that you love most…be good to you!
I love ya!
Hugs a plenty ♥ xx
Cat Forsley
/ May 2, 2012THANK YOU MY SWEET
I AM NEEDING TO RE-PRIORITIZE ………..:)
AND AM DOING THAT RIGHT NOW ……..
A QUIET DAY AT HOME IS ALL I NEED ……
XX
BLESS YOU FOR CARING XOXOXOXOXO
Deb
/ May 2, 2012Anytime Cat!
Enjoy!
Hugs ♥ xx
Cat Forsley
/ May 2, 2012HUGS HUGS AND MORE HUGS ………..
SOMETIMES THROUGH KIND FRIENDS
THERE IS A LITTLE PATH OF GRACE ——— IT GOES RIGHT INTO YOUR HEART —- AND STAYS ………….
I FORGET TO ASK FOR HELP SOMETIMES !!!!!
SOMETIMES I THINK I CAN DO EVERYTHING
WHICH IS TOTALLY STUPID OF ME ……
THERE ARE LIMITATIONS TO WHAT I CAN AND CANNOT DO …..
SOMETIMES IT’S OK TO FACE THAT IN THE FACE AND SAY …… THANK YOU !
THANK YOU DEB ….
I AM NEVER EVER GIVING UP …..
ON ANYTHING
JUST PUTTING MYSELF IN CHECK …
LOVE XO
Deb
/ May 2, 2012I think we all forget to ask for help at times. I don’t really think most of us forget on purpose though. We just do our best to work our way through things…Sometimes, that is the only way.
I have to put myself in check at times too.
Please don’t call yourself stupid. You are not stupid. Speaking such things out loud or on paper like that about yourself is a claim. Claim enough times and your subconscious will believe it. Say nice things about yourself…please.
I know your not ever going to give up…you’re too strong for that road. Your a winner with a beautiful heart, and have much to offer.
Stay bless, Cat

kathrynmartins1
/ May 1, 2012Love the shadows, Deb. Did it work? Did you get to sleep soon after? 🙂 That’s a cool way to send your mind the message that it’s time to go to bed. Paint the sun going down 🙂
Deb
/ May 1, 2012Yes it did. Once I decided I did all I was going to do to it. I turned off the laptop, the night light, went to bed and fell asleep quickly.
Thank you, Kathryn!

Do have a wicked night, my dark fine friend.

/ May 1, 2012I love sunsets and sunrises, Deb, and this is just beautiful with the glorious shades of reds, oranges and yellows! Hugs to you! xo
Deb
/ May 1, 2012I love them too, and the night I painted it, I really wanted myself to set for the night…it finally came.
Thanks for your lovely comment, Lauren!
Hugs ♥ xx
lscotthoughts
/ May 1, 2012Well, your paintings are always beautiful and that’s one talent that I’ve never had. When I was younger, I used to draw a lot, but that passion didn’t last. Writing took over and I don’t go by any rules, either…I just write! 🙂 ♥
Deb
/ May 1, 2012Rule smools. When it comes to art, poetry, prose, muse, writing, or whatever else there is that one can create. I believe we are best to do it our own way, not the way some one thinks it ought to be done. It just wouldn’t be us behind the work.
Artwork was likely a doorway to your writing, Lauren. One door seem to lead to another to me.
I love ya,
Hugs ♥ xx
Valentine Logar
/ May 1, 2012My favorite time of the day, I suspect because of the colors that appear. You have captured all my favorites, stunning.
Deb

I’m glad you like it, Val. and thank you for commenting!

Binky
/ May 1, 2012That is another really nice painting. And it looks like a very hot night. I think I can see steam coming off the water.
Deb
/ May 2, 2012Ah, steam on the water mean it’s warm while the air has a chill to it…thank you, Binky!
Hugs ♥ xx
Autumn Sunshine
/ May 1, 2012I love it 🙂 the colors just are so beautiful. Something with the combo. of colors is just so tranquil and peaceful to me. I hope you got to sleep after 🙂 love and hugs ♥

Thanks Autumn!

stuartart
/ May 2, 2012Beautiful! It’s a great feeling to get the urge to create so you just do. I have no room to paint at the moment so my urge goes unfulfilled. 😦

Thank you for the beautiful comment!
Hugs ♥ xx
mysterycoach
/ May 2, 2012You can come in… there’s some button you can click and it sends me an email. It should give that option anyway… You’re welcome!
If you like, email me @ the address you see in my comment and I’ll send you an invitation. 🙂
Deb
/ May 2, 2012I’ve tried, but it doesn’t behave like most private blogs on my end of things. It take me to my dashboard, even when I type in your blog address…weird. I sent you and email as you mentioned.
Thanks, MC!

Scott Mitchell
/ May 2, 2012Very beautiful painting Debbie! I wish I was near wherever you are so I could beg to be your apprentice and learn the secrets of creating such works. Stay blessed friend
Deb
/ May 2, 2012Wow, what a lovely thought to share with me! But you would not have to beg me, Scott. If you lived nearby I would just call you to let you know I was going to paint and offer if you wanted to watch. But I’d warn you…I make lots of mistakes, but that’s the learning part.
Thank you for such a lovely compliment! And you stay blessed too!
Hugs ♥ xox
Scott Mitchell
/ May 2, 2012Yes, I always believed we learn as much from mistakes as we learn from successes, for sure.
Ok, I can’t resist asking. Can I use this one on the FB page now? I’ll of course have your info there. Thanks!
Deb
/ May 2, 2012I know, I’ve got so if I don’t make a mistake that I didn’t learn anything. But trust me…I always make them.
Certainly Scott, I would be honored if you used it on your page. Let me know when it’s up, I want to see how it looks.
Hugs ♥ xx
Scott Mitchell
/ May 2, 2012Thanks Debbie. It really makes the page feel more special when I use recent art from my personal favorite. It’s up! 🙂 https://www.facebook.com/deepevoking
Deb
/ May 2, 2012It looks good up there on your FB page, Scott. Thank you very much and thank you for the link.
It drives me a little nuts when you do that and I c’t say something on your FB page unless I reactivate. I’m still just not sure if I want to use it again.
But I can certainly let you know here!…thank you again, I’m honored and humbled.
Love ♥ Hugs ♥ xx
Carol King

It’s like you were able to freeze that one second when you recognize the ‘perfect light’ and then, in a flash, it’s gone!
Another one of my favorites, Deb! Absolutely fantastic!
