Studio Friday: quoted

This week's topic for Friday February 23rd suggested by Robyn: QUOTED!
"Quotes are so inspiring. They give us comfort in rough times or the push we need to overcome our obstacles or fears. They enlighten us and give clarity and "A-ha's". Some we keep around for a life time and let them guide us, others we forget about. We work with them maybe or pass them on to others."~ Robyn

I love quotes-It has made me glad all the time. I even had some little books about them when I was in high school. I was also lucky to have received some little books from my friends recently. Today, I will share to you three of my favorite quotes, and the first one is actually taken from the Bible. These verses from Psalms have not only made me inspired but have given me strength when I am feeling low and cannot smile. I have also learned to look up in the skies and appreciate its beauty as if I can see the Lord's face or hand.

"I will lift up my eyes to the hills--From whence comes my help? My help comes from the Lord who made heaven and earth." Psalm 121:1-2.

The second one have given me a reason to wake up in the morning.

"Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you will live forever." Mahatma Gandhi

Last but not the least, this last quote "How beautiful a day can be when kindness touches it."--George Alliston. It has taught me to be kind to myself, to my artworks or whatever I plan to do for the day, to my loveones and to every person that I encounter during the day. It has made me not to forget to pray or talk to myself, and to God. I am not really religious but I have a faith that really keeps me going.

God dag!

Are we to paint what's on the face, what's inside the face, or what's behind it?”--Pablo Picasso
