just start : original art.

A few weeks ago, I shared an image of my blank bulletin boards and the message that if there is something you are thinking about doing it’s best to just start. Shortly after posting that, I stumbled the above quote by Walt Disney that is along similar lines. And then I started thinking and thinking about the best way to make prints or art to share the message.

I ended up creating some simple text original paintings in different colors. My little reminder for you. These pieces will not change your life, but they might help change your attitude. I have six that will go on sale Monday, January 3rd at 10am PST and after that, maybe more. We’ll see how they do. Also coming to the shop then : goodness books in metallic & gray.

Happy, happy new year.

    funny…i just decided this morning that my ‘one little word’ for 2011 would be START. i find that once i start something, i can keep up momentum to finish (most of the time!) perfect quote & great thing to remember this time of year 🙂

    I’m going to need one of those! It would be perfect in my school room. Sometimes I get so overwhelmed and dont know where to start. “Just start” would be a good push! 🙂

    My One Little Word for 2011 with Ali Edwards is REALIZE, as in, to complete something, make tangible. This bit of wisdom flows nicely with my word!
