4/18/19 I have a memory long ago. The man who stole my heart. He was the one who opened up A brand new world to me. He taught me how to play and laugh. A world I knew not of. We walked together down our path. And made a bond so true. We raised our family best we could. He sits beside me now. We watch the world go passing by. Together we still learn. I give to you my heart and soul. I’m lucky you are mine. Title: “Rubbing Noses” Airbrushed Acrylic on illustration board ©Bjlane

4/10/19 Take a walk Down memory lane, And see what can be learned. Reminisce Of days gone by, To find what used to be. People lived. Farmers worked The land with hands and heart. There’re those who built And those who toiled To make a life worthwhile. There were those who laughed. And those who cried. And fought for their beliefs. So grateful for Days gone by. To those who now are gone. They taught us of Humanity. To sing the song of life. “Haus Rasein” Lady in Pink Series 24

4/7/19 Dishes need washed. The lawn needs mowed. And laundry fills the bin. The car needs gas. The floor needs swept. And I can’t find the broom. The bed needs made. The dog needs fed. A walk for exercise. I breath the air. The sun is bright. And colors fill the scene. The sky is clear. And shade is near. I cannot stay inside. The colors call. The artist hears. Instead I’ll paint the dream. ©Bjlane “A Sunday Afternoon” Lady in Pink Series 24”x 20” Oil on canvas Plein air ©Bjl

4/3/19 At your door It asks you. It begs you. “Take heed.” Gently it says, “I am here” A passing thought. It may be loudly asking attention. It may be quietly begging for recognition. It may be silent. If ignored the moment fades. If acted upon, life begins. An opportunity knocks.

How came this creation? It was here always. Why did the art emerge? The heart controls the beast. When came the inspiration? Fleeting moment, turned to action. What saw the artist, she? Life’s story in full color. What story to be told? The essence of true beauty. Where did the art unfold? In the painters corner, of course. “In the Painter’s Corner” Lady in Pink Series 24”x 20” Oil on canvas En plein air ©Bjlane www.bjlane.com Prints and gifts https://fineartamerica.com/profi
