Humble beginnings

My First ATC--A work in progress

Artist Trading Cards are hot right now.

All around the world, mixed media artists are scrambling to hop on board the ATC train.

I'm no different.

I simply couldn't resist the challenge of creating a 2.5 x 3.5 inch work of art! What you see above is the humble watercolored beginning of my first ATC.

I think that most good things have humble beginnings. Good bread is made with yeast, water and a little sugar to proof the yeast. That's about as humble as it gets...

People aren't much different. Add an egg, a sperm and a little bit of love, and you have the most basic recipe for human life. Unfortunately, I think that our most common mistake, lies in forgetting to include the love. Good bread won't rise without yeast. Good people won't rise without love.

Humble beginnings...an egg, a sperm and a little bit of love.

It's so simple and yet we somehow manage to get it all so horribly wrong.

Go figure....
