#dailygratitude - relationships

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

#dailygratitude - my girls

Dedicated to my daughters, three 4/17/19 Oh my precious little girls. How quickly did you grow. One day a babe, next day grown. How quickly pass the years. My first. You laughed and danced all day. You moved with joy and grace. You twirled and frolicked through air. Music was your muse. My second daughter. Strong were you. You ran and leapt and jumped You found your joy in strength and zeal. You won the ribbons blue. And last of three. The bucket, spade, And sand your favorit

4/15/19 Where is my gratitude today? This lovely day. Have I forgotten to give thanks? This precious day. My grateful heart has been misplaced. This sunny day. Yet so much to be grateful for.

#dailygratitude - April Autism Awareness Month

4/14/19 Dedicated to my daughter, who lives with Autism... Look over here. Your eyes so blue. They tell of me and you. We are the same. Yes. You and I. We laugh. We live. We cry. It is not easy dear. I know. The challenge of this world. A whisper of unsettling truth. The answers are unclear. Yet here we are, and this I know. You‘ve taught me many things. We are the same. Though different we. We live. We love. We learn. “Searching for the missing piece” Mixed medium: wood, cha

4/13/19 Work is done. The weekend comes. The world is slowing down. Colors in the springtime sky. Bring scattered light around. Today’s the day to rest and play. It’s time to take a nap. Meet up with friends and family. It’s time to celebrate. Its perfect for a midday ride. The moment is right now. Don’t miss this lovely time of year Come take a ride with me. “The bike trail” 18”x24” Oil on canvas SOLD ©Bjlane www.bjlane.com Special order Prints available #oil #originalart #p

4/12/19 Thankful for you, my confidant. You heard my words of woe. You offered good advice to me. You gave support so true. I thank you for your helping hands. Stretched out to pull me up. I thank you for your warm, kind words. Now healing for my heart. Your outstretched arms to offer help, In my hour of need. You give me hope. You give me strength. To know that someone cares. You are my dear friends, near and far. You are my family. Grateful for you, my comrades thee. Your f

Along the roadway home. “See my beauty?” “See my grace?” “Be mindful of right now.” Oh so busy With our lives. Sometimes we do not see. Shadows. Colors. Shapes and rhythm.

#dailygratitude - Days gone by

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

#dailygratitude - A Sunday dream

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

#dailygratitude - happy days

4/4/19 Riding, running. Laughing, yelling. Childhood memories. “Tag you’re it”, and “Hide and Seek”. Simple games. Good times. We grabbed the ball and bat and played Baseball with our friends. We challenged chance with fun and games. Rock-Paper-Scissors. Hopscotch, jump-rope, swings and slides. We jumped up and down. Chocolate Ice cream. Bubble gum. Popcorn and a prize. Slumber parties. Birthday gifts. Dress up. Tea. Happy days of yesteryears. Creating Friendships, We. ©Bjlan

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.

#dailygratitude - the painters corner

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
