Fine Art Friday

"Flowers are the sweetest things God ever made, and forgot to put a soul into."
-Henry Beecher

Hello! Happy Friday everyone! I hope you had a wonderful week - I vaguely recall mine! I find as the end of the school year draws near I have more things to do and then the year is over and BOOM, I wish the kids were in school again! What a vicious cycle!! Looking for pieces to feature today gave me a chance to sit back and relax for a bit - it was nice. Enjoy!

"Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep."
-Scott Adams

Hello! I hope you had a wonderful weekend - I was sick, but my wonderful husband took charge of the kids ALL day Saturday and I was able to get some much needed rest! I thanked him and his comment was, "I did not know I had it in me!" I feel the same when I see paintings, I just am not artistic in that manner. Today's mosaic is a compilation of some of my favorite abstract pieces and I think it looks lovely - don't you? Enjoy!
