Happiness is. . . making new Friends

Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.  Oprah Winfrey

One of my new blogging friends Lisa at The Lisa Porter Collection included me in her ‘attitude and gratitude' award, (below) turns out she is also an artist, I didn’t realize that until today, check out her blog to see many beautiful and inspiring images!

Congratulations on the award. That's a remarkable watercolour. Would make a great decorative art piece for a living room.

Off to check this artist's website in more detail. :)

Hi Maria,

Every time I think of paint (which is a lot) I think of you! I think you should do a favorite colors list- the ones that never, or very rarely, let you down. If you have already done this then point me in the right direction!

Just a thought! I would LOVE to hear your all time favorites.

Have a great day,

Marianne

Maria,
This is a huge surprise! You took my breath away when I saw my painting. But you know what really got me was the quote above by Oprah Winfrey.
I would absolutely ride the bus with you any day my dear. And you know what....we would have a ball!
Thanks again Maria, you are the best.
XO Lisa

The thing I love most, and never had expected, is the friendships that grow from blogging.

Congrats!

Lovely watercolor and so nice to see the artist in her beautiful hat! The quote from Oprah made my day. Thanks for the lift.

Congrats on the award, Maria :-)

I'm not an Oprah fan, but I do like that quote :-)

That is a beautiful picture, but it totally looks like a photoshopped photo.

Dear Anonymous and anyone else that is curious,
That art is an original! Some of us can only dream about having that kind of talent :)
