People
They get bored being children, are in a rush to grow up, and then long to be children again.
They lose their health to make money and then lose their money to restore their health.
That by thinking anxiously about the future they forget the present, such that they live neither for the present nor the future. They live as is they will never die and they die as if they had never lived.
Carpe Diem
"Ideas can come from anywhere and at any time. The problem with making mental notes is that the ink fades very rapidly." (Author:Rolf Smith)
After spending a few short hours with an artist colleague last night we both came to the same conclusion that it’s VITAL to start the day in the right frame of mind. Although I love my fresh Starbucks Arabian mocha java and we both joked about the powerful effects of this legal drug it’s not the coffee that’s important but the QUIET time that’s critical to the clear thinking.
The most important man made tool I use to begin the creation of ideas is my comfortable writing parker pen! A quick plan of action written down on a plain sheet of paper and there you have it…the excitement of a new idea waiting to be born. One of my ideas early this morning is to test the linking idea between this site and my New Youtube Site.

As I grind my fresh Starbucks beans at 6.00am, my little 3yr old Angel asks "Daddy can we go to the forest again?"
So the planning for the day is before me, and after meeting up with a good friend for a hearty breakfast off we trundle.
One of the main thoughts on my mind is how to explain what this blog will be about so on the second day and second entry the explanation at this moment in time is best described in the follwiing manner...
"This Blog will record daily/weekly thoughts, inspirations, meditations, plans & activities revolving around my fine art career as the artist David Jewell"
My hope is to "INSPIRE & ENCOURAGE" thoughts with words & pictures to anyone, anywhere and to consider the "BIGGER PICTURE" that life's adventure can bring us.
On this Beautiful Spring Day I am filled with The Hope we all have when we think of the possibilities of choosing the right path in Life, to lead us to inner peace & happiness...Real Treasures.
I hope to share some of these real treasures with you both in my personal 43 Year adventure of Life so far AND in the 21 years of running my own business in the creative world of the Arts...Come with me on this journey....
