C is for Climatic
I believe I had a climatic point in my creative endeavors for this summer. Since I had a week off my school work and had no specific plans, I was able to spend plenty of time in my art studio. Therefore, I was able to work on most of the art projects I've had lined-up. Not everything is finished, or even perfect, but I thoroughly enjoyed the journey. Isn't that what life should be all about, enjoying the journey? That reminds me of my wife's comment when she was admiring my Smash layout pages, "Your photographs and layouts make it seem like we had such an exciting summer." I just smiled.

Lovely piece for SS Arnoldo!
ReplyDeleteYou artwork is wonderful, you are very creative! I am enjoying summer, I hope to see more exciting things happening before it is over. I love your sweet kitty. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post! Have a happy new week!
ReplyDeleteWow! So much art and creativity to share! Everything is superb! Thanks for playing along with my sketch at FMS this week.
ReplyDeleteLovely work as always Arnoldo! It's always wonderful when you have time to create! No climatic points in my life this summer. Just enjoying some time off and looking forward to a relaxing trip to the Allegheny Mountains in a few days. Have a wonderfully, creative week!
ReplyDeleteIt's so much fun to see the variety of mediums you use in your creativity! And someone is going to be so happy with that gift! I got a kick out of your wife's comment! Of course you captured the joy of your experiences in your art journal!
ReplyDeleteI so miss having cats and dogs. I have only ever had Siamese and torties, so your daughter's photo of Rolo warmed my heart!
ReplyDeleteExcellent wip of the goat herding. Glad to hear you've had an art-filled summer.
Adorable kitty shot and love all your creative art work ~ You are so busy with wonderful creations!
ReplyDeleteHappy Week to you,

Wonderful work and powerful words from your wife, with a great reaction from you! There will always be ups and downs, but it's the ups we want to focus on because they bring so much joy if we let it!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had an enjoyable journey, I can see your mom did too!!
Hugs Giggles
Interesting collection of shots!

I love all of your creations Arnoldo and what you write each week - and this week I was delighted to discover your cat!

Have an awesome week! :-)
Your Goat Herding piece is FABULOUS! I LOVE it! Gorgeous Assemblage Clock too what I can see. Need more photos on that one. LOVE it that you got to spend a week creating, and you are right...it's about the journey!!!

Another WONDERFUL creation, Arnoldo. You are so super talented, and I thank you for sharing with us at CropStop. I always enjoy your art SO much.
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed week,
Karen
Amazing what one can accomplish with enough TIME!
ReplyDeleteROG, ABCW
The more joy one can experience the easier 'difficult' moments can be handled. Your wife is so right ;-)
ReplyDeleteI wish you lots of you, the both of you ofcourse.
WOW! What a great variety to look through, something for everyone. Very nicely done. Thanks for taking part in the CropStop Linky Party.
ReplyDeleteYour cat is so cute.
ReplyDeleteMy ABC WEDNESDAY
Such beautiful art work! Very Creative!
ReplyDeleteSo perfect for 'C'.
Delightful artwork Arnoldo,
ReplyDeleteI particularly like the watercolour of the Goatherd rounding up his goats and of course the picture of Rolo the lovely cat.
Have a wonderful week,
Best wishes,
Di.

Exquisita tu creatividad, me encanta tu homenaje a Josephine Baker !!
ReplyDeleteYour Rolo looks so much like my Ada I took a double take. Of course I think he's gorgeous :o)
ReplyDeleteMy Summer has just started really - first full week of the school holidays :) I have lots planned - but not TOO much as it needs to be achieved. I need to decorate the living room and clear a space in the garden for a green house. Craft wise - I stupidly ( not on purpose) bought 300 tags - So I need to be crative with some of them!! Love all your art work especially your Smash book pages. I hope you get more tiome to play. Have a good week . Soojay 27
ReplyDeleteWow! What a lot of things you've done! Yes, it's lovely to just be and create! I agree.
ReplyDeleteI love your Josephine Baker card. My parents used to tell me about her and her orphans. She was a great lady.
Have a great week,
Lisca#24
Amazing artwork as always Arnoldo! Gorgeous ! So glad you joined Moo Mania & More ! Such a beautiful tortoiseshell cat - I had one many years ago - her name was Pauline... she was a wonderful cat.
ReplyDeleteHappy days for you!

I find that a lack of deadlines and the creative space in my head given to me by time off is all it takes to be inspired....I almost envy you your week!
ReplyDeleteIt's remarkable how often you talk about aspects I'm considering too exactly at the same time you do it. I was also thinking about the life journey within the last days because I suddenly realized that as soon as we achieve a goal we can't stay there for ever. We have to go on to achieve the next one and another one and so on and so on and when I realized this, I wasn't very happy in the first moment but I thought I have to face reality and that's it. And then you wrote this wonderful sentence: "Isn't that what life should be all about, enjoying the journey?" and this was exactly the answer I was looking for. Many thanks! (I hope my English was sufficient to describe my thoughts). I love the colorful birthday cards you created and the horses are wonderful! And you look really very happy on the photographs :) It's great how you have arranged them and your wife's comment is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteyou are so profilic, Ronaldo! And I love every piece! Please don´t stop and bring it all to Mix It Monthly!! Seems you have an amazing summer so far!! Hugs ♥ Conny
ReplyDeleteNice collection of works! I especially love the horses! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThat baby shower card is going to be an heirloom. Like all your work, it's beautiful! Thank you for sharing your work with us this week for the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. It does indeed look like you have had an amazing summer. ~Michelle
ReplyDeleteP.S. The cat photo is pretty awesome, too. Looks like your daughter has inherited your artistic eye!

ReplyDeleteYou keep managing to top yourself each week....beautiful and diverse collection!! The stack of B-day cards is eye-popping, and the tribute to JB is stunning....kudos!
ReplyDeleteRolo is a great cat! Very photogenic.
ReplyDeleteGlad you found some time to do what you love....inspiring as always♪ http://lauriekazmierczak.com/hosta-host/
ReplyDeleteYour beautiful posts are always full of not just a wonderful variety of art projects but such lovely thoughts behind it all too Arnoldo. Your Smash book pages are fabulous-I can see why your wife made the comment she did:):) Have a blessed and happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteSuch wide variety of creative projects on the go! The gift idea is wonderful and I especially like the tribute to Josephine Baker. Your cat Roll is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAll the varied artwork you have done is wonderful, Arnoldo. It does look like you've had a fun, productive summer vacation. Enjoy the rest of it. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteMy! You have been busy! Thank you for joining us at Try It On Tuesday! Chrisx
ReplyDeleteWow, those are really beautiful artwork. The sketch you are working on is really beautiful, you are very talented :-)
ReplyDeleteWow, you was so busy. And all of your artwork is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you had lots of time for art, that is such precious time, and am always fascinated by how many varied challenges you make art for and how well they fit the themes.
ReplyDeleteMy special favourites here are the first, a lovely painting, and an unusual subject done so well, and of course, Rolo, who is posing beautifully.
You have certainly been busy Arnoldo, with such a wide variety of fantastic projects on the go. I agree with you. It's all about the journey.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy and I hope your week is full of creativity.
Happy PPF
You're doing such a marvelous job in completing all your projects. Everything looks good! So glad you joined us at Word Art Wednesday. Leaving you with an awesome inspiration from the Scripture in Hebrews 3:6 and it says, "But Christ is faithful as a son over God's house. And we are his house, if we hold on to our courage and the hope of which we boast." Have an awesome week.

Wow! You are so amazingly talented! I love everything! I have a question though... In your Josephine creation there is a beautiful and colorful stick/wand laying next to the card, looks to be made of glass, and I was wondering what it is? Whatever it is, it looks amazing! I absolutely love blown glass or glass art and so this caught my attention while viewing your pictures. Thanks so much!
