(see painting) by Betty Warta http://freedomthroughart.com/?p=84#comment-93 Betty Warta Sun, 18 Apr 2010 01:37:19 +0000 http://freedomthroughart.com/?p=84#comment-93 Hi Lyn -- "Whatever ails you". Well, I guess I'm guilty of all three of those things! Painting is MY therapy, and has helped me through the loss of my significant other (of 29 years) last August; I'm in almost constant pain from my back; and, heck--I'm sure not getting any younger. I count my blessings, and one of them is my painting! Love, Betty Green Valley AZ Hi Lyn — “Whatever ails you”. Well, I guess I’m guilty of all three of those things!

]]> Comment on How to Age Beautifully… (with picture) by Betty Warta http://freedomthroughart.com/?p=78#comment-92 Betty Warta Sun, 18 Apr 2010 01:24:34 +0000 http://freedomthroughart.com/?p=78#comment-92 Hi Lyn, Rest assured--you ARE a beautiful person, both inside and outside. You have made a lasting impression on me and I hope to see you again one day soon. Meanwhile--I'm enjoying your blog tremendously, and painting at least 3 or 4 hours (minimum) daily--seven days a week. I have to tell you an interesting story. Two or three years ago I painted a landscape from a photo. It was okay. A few weeks ago, I went to the studio without a clue what I would paint that day. The photo I had used for the landscape several years ago was in my locker. I decided to paint it. WOW. What a difference two years made. I had to bring it in to our Tuesday morning critique just to show what practice, practice, practice does! I'm planning to paint it again in another two years! Love, Betty Green Valley, AZ Hi Lyn,

Like you on your canvas, I have captured my nautical world on paper. I write. Also photograph. And have even taken to water colors, charcoal, ink and acrylics. I think I know the sea, its sounds, smells, motion and moods as well as any man or woman. I consider myself an authority. But try as I may, I have never been able to capture the ocean's heart and soul as you have. Your seascapes are unparalleled.

God whispered to me a few years ago, "Just Be" I was worrying over much, and if I measured up. But all along He was with me. I am a artist, a singer, and I am free to be just me. I believe in Miracles and I love being alive! You are so right! God whispered to me a few years ago, “Just Be” I was worrying over much, and if I measured up. But all along He was with me.
