"Today I Choose to Be a Light", Original Mixed Media Painting by Colorado Artist, Donna L. Martin

"Today I Choose to Be a Light"

This is the latest in my little series. The title is, "Today I Choose to Be a Light". I've been pondering the thought that every day we can choose our attitudes towards others and towards life in general. This is the thought I chose for today. I'm not perfect, but how can I be a light for others? Can I extend a kind word, look at someone and smile, acknowledge someone and look them in the eye without just brushing past them? Today I will make that effort and do my best.

This little painting is 8 X 8, framed in a simple black floater frame. It is available. Feel free to send me an email with any questions or comments.

I attended Columbine High School for one semester before we moved to a wonderful little small Texas town. When I first got there, the kids in ...

This was a really fun painting to do and has been one of my most popular to date! Mama and baby taking a stroll together on a sunny morning. This original watercolor was completed on a lazy Sunday afternoon after a couple of glasses of wine. Hence, the vibrant colors and textures!
