Bleeding hearts

This is a wonderful picture and the flower is called a "bleeding heart". It grows in my backyard in early spring and thrives quite well in cool weather. You can see it sprouting sometimes as early as mid March. It comes in blume in April and lasts for about a month and a half if not longer. I think I've captured this particular blume. It really does look like a bleeding heart!

When I step outside and see the world this is what I do.

When you step outside and see the world. Are you really seeing? I discovered the art of seeing through my photos and what I paint. I truly believe everyone has creativeness. Sometimes it is hard and I think they can't put it on paper. Sometimes your eye will hold a image that you have in your hands and other times not. It all depends on what mood you are in. It is all discovery! I discovered I had a talent for art when I was about 5 years old. My mother liked my paintings and she said I was a artist...I held on to that. I have been painting ever since. My craft has me painting some walls, and some stuffed in portfolios. I go through moments in my life where I can't paint and other times where I have to. It is somewhat therapeutic for me . I paint best when I am sad. I don't know why? When I am finished I feel good and it doesn't matter if the painting was a disaster or not I just feel better.
