Nice Surprise...

                              

Autrice, writer extraordinaire, of The Bemused Muse blog has kindly nominated my little blog for a "Thinking Blogger Award". I am so touched and also more than a little embarrassed, as most of my posts consist generally of current artwork and very little philosophical discussion - lol!! I love to write but find sharing that part of my life even more difficult than sharing my visual art. Perhaps this will prompt me to stretch those wings! Thank you Autrice for your confidence in me. Part of this also involves my nominating 5 blogs that I believe merit this distinction... an easy task for me, however I am quite certain that several, if not all of the blogs I devour on a daily basis have already received this nomination. None the less... you can never have too much of a good thing, so here are my 5 choices:

Kristen Robinson: Not only a very dear and trusted friend, but an incredible artist. Her work reflects her life, personality and desires... an artist who always remains true to herself.

Rande Hanson: R2 Art Studio. One of my most favorite (new to me)artists whose work captivates me. She has a charming, timeless style and is one of those rare people who are truly humble and very modest.

Deb Trotter: Cowboy's Sweetheart... Deb is the "real deal". Genuine and disarming. A fabulous artist who makes the wild west a place we all want to visit and keep in our heart.

Liz Smith: If you have never visited Alterations, then you are in for a huge treat. Besides being a wonderful artist, Liz is one of the kindest people I have come to  know and her posts are always full of gentle thoughts, finding the best in life and other people.

Kris Henderson: A gentle soul whose concern and interest in others is evident in her artwork, photography and posts. She has just returned from a trip to Africa and her online diary is not to be missed.

So there you have it, Kristen, Deb, Rande, Liz and Kris. Now it is for you to "pass it on".
