YOU ARE RICH

Even in times of uncertainty, it’s important to keep things in perspective. The truth is, you’re doing better than a lot of people in this world. Some might think YOU are rich, so remember to be grateful for all the things you have.

“True wealth is the ability to fully experience life.”
 - Henry David Thoreau

1. You didn’t go to sleep hungry last night.
2. You awoke this morning with a roof over your head.
3. You had a choice of what clothes to wear.
4. You haven’t feared for your life today.
5. You often worry about what you’re going to do with your life – your career, your family, the next step, etc. – which means you have ambition, passion, drive, and the freedom to make your own decisions.
6. You have a friend or relative who misses you and looks forward to your next visit.
7. You are reasonably strong and healthy – if you got sick today, you could recover.
8. You have access to food and clean drinking water.
9. You have access to the Internet.
10. You can read.

From Mark and Angel Hack Life




 
ON HAPPINESS
 
There are two ways to be rich: One is to have all you want, the other is to be satisfied with what you have. Accept and appreciate things now, and you’ll find more happiness in every moment you live.  Happiness comes when you stop complaining about the troubles you have and offer thanks for all the troubles you don’t have. And remember, you have to fight through some bad days to earn the best days of your life.  (Read The How of Happiness.)


HAPPY HOLIDAYS ONE AND ALL

FOOTHILLS ACEO - NATIONAL PARKS SERIES

FOOTHILLS

ORIGINAL ACEO BY SEA DEAN
2.5" x 3.5"
On Auction

To view my Gallery or purchase this painting please visit Daily Paintworks. Larger originals or prints may be available by contacting me. You may also view ALL my available ACEO in my Facebook Gallery here.

Yellowstone National Park, 1872 is commonly regarded as the world's oldest national park, but you may be surprised to learn that Bogd Khan Uul in Mongolia dates back to 1783, when the government designated it as an area to be protected for its natural beauty and off limits to exploitation.

Prior to the foundation of Bogd Khan Uul some British Commonwealth Countries created "Crown" reserves such as the forest reserve on the island of Tobago in 1776, but land belonging to the Monarch and land belonging to the people are not the same thing.

This gives you an idea of the beauty of this remote region. Collectors of my work will have noticed that I love both mountains and sunshine, especially high mountain meadows. Bogd Khan Uul  is set in the high country of Mongolia and includes Bogd Khan Uul Mountain and surrounds. As I was trolling through Google I saw many beautiful things very similar to foothills in the USA and Canada, but far more remote. The region has miles and miles of grasslands where the famous Mongolian horsemen practice their art. There are fabulous mountain peaks and sheltered valleys. I saw dry rolling grasslands, waterfalls and coniferous trees. A beautiful place to add to your bucket list and these days fairly simple to visit with adventure tour companies.

TWILIGHT REFLECTION OSWOA POSTCARD and FINE ART AUCTION

TWILIGHT REFLECTIONS
ORIGINAL ART OSWOA 4" x 6"
To view my Gallery please visit Daily Paintworks.  

This painting is SOLD but I'm happy to take a commission for a similar work. Contact me to inquire about prints and Art cards.

This is another painting which follows on from very popular TULIP GARDEN I showed yesterday. Once I started working on the lake I just didn't have the heart to cover up the lovely Magenta and Ultramarine water with foreground Tulips.

QUIZ ANSWER

Question:- "Who's beautiful eyes are these?"
Answer :- The "Beautiful Eyes" are those of the lovely Audrey Hepburn. Thanks to everyone who played the game. Everyone who entered got it right. I'm not sure if that indicates I did a good job, or that she is easy to spot. 

May 4th would’ve marked Audrey's 84th birthday, So Happy Birthday lovely lady, I hope you are having a wonderful time wherever you are.
