Take My Little Sneaks on a Hop

Little Sneaks © 2011 Amy Hillenbrand

8 x 10 oil on canvas- $170.00

"For a long time it seemed to me that life was about to begin-real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life. This perspective has helped me to see there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. So treasure every moment you have and remember time waits for no one."   by Souza

Every now and again I have to reminded of this quote by Souza above. Especially when I get caught up in the thoughts and feelings around the idea I will be happy when I'm selling more art or  when I get my art on-line or when I have 10,000 followers or when I etc etc etc.   You know what I mean Jelly-Bean?

On a different note: join me and some of my fellow artist friends on a  BLOG HOP. This is a group of artists that were brought together by an e-course called Flying Lessons from Artist, Author, & Possibilitarian Kelly Rae Roberts . Please hop on by the below blogs and leave a comment to let the artist know you stopped by.  This is an talented group of artists. You will see all types of art from jewelry to mixed media. Have fun hopping...
