The first principle of success is desire – knowing what you want. Desire is the planting of your seed – Robert Collier

Posted on January 15, 2009 by Mindful Mimi

Another painting with seed pods I just finished . These are from our local woods and last weekend’s walk.



I seem to have this thing for seed pods lately.

Which makes me think about something Christine Kane recently said on a tele-seminar.

“When we plant a seed, the first thing that comes up is not the sprout, it’s the Dirt.“

I have set the intention of painting more. That intention is my seed. So bear with me while I share my dirt with you :-) I hope it will sprout eventually.

    I love this post and your paintings. I’m painting too and embrace the dirt and the soil and the sprouts.

    Stacey: thanks, paintings are like babies. You love them despite (or because of?) the fact that they are not perfect :-)

    Hi Mimi,

    Please continue to share your paintings! They are uniquely “you” – and that’s pretty cool…

    And – I really like this one – especially the textures.

    : Thanks a bunch! as a painter you forget that sometimes the paintings you like the least are the ones people seem to like :-)
