Your Free Postcard   

is Waiting
for You 

 

That's right, three  postcards of my newest hibiscus painting, Merging Emerging, are yours when you send one self-addressed stamped envelope to me at:

 PO Box 61707, Honolulu, HI 96839-1707.

Do this now and you'll have three postcards to use as holiday cards!
If you want more, enclose a check in the amount of $1 for each additional postcard wanted (up to $20/20 cards max).

Or you can order a print of Merging Emerging online.


The hibiscus shown in Merging Emerging are so intertwined that it is difficult to know which one is which. Sometimes we find someone in life with whom we feel so comfortable, so compatible, that we finish one another's sentences ... and smile rather than cringe.

Cherish these people, keep them in your life. They are a rare find and are to be treasured.

Cul De Sac cartoon on hoarding by Richard Thompson  
Richard Thompson's wonderful comic Cul De Sac tickles my fancy. When his series of strips on hoarding and Thanksgiving appeared in the paper, I knew I had to share them with you.
 
Here is a very short blog post about my experience in Marilyn Nagel's Unclutter Your Life class this autumn. Awesome class, I highly recommend it! We worked with Marcia Zina Mager's recommended book: 31 Words to Create an Organized Life.

and days are lost lamenting over lost days....

For boldness has magic, power, and genius in it.

  **********   

two hands squeezing blood from a turnipBorn in Port Washington, WI and educated at the University of Wisconsin/Madison, Patrice Federspiel first visited Hawai'i in January 2000. Within five months she had found a way to quit her job, sell her home, and move to Hawai'i to paint.

Previously an oil painter, Patrice learned the joys of watercolor upon her arrival in Honolulu in June 2000. She has been painting full time ever since. It is her intention to live her "Real Life" creatively, from the inside out; and to inspire others, through her paintings, art lessons, words, and example, to do the same.

"I paint with passion, live without regrets, and move joyfully forward through life." -Patrice Federspiel
