South American Cruise paintings # 15

While traveling in this cruise, I usually painted in the morning and early afternoon, and read in the evening. One interesting book I read at this time was The Element, by Ken Robinson, Ph.D. Some highlights I liked:
"Fear keeps you down." He recommends we read Susan Jeffer's Feel the Fear and Do it Anyway. Because...we know that "it's NOT what happens to us that determines our lives. It's what we make of what happens! "
"Research and experience show that lucky people often make their luck because of their attitudes."he says. I couldn't agree more: Your attitude determines your altitude!

South American Cruise painting # 13

Carnival Splendor cruise ship was fun. My painting group and I met every day on Deck 10 in the morning and painted, sometimes for hours!
I also read the book: THE ELEMENT, by Ken Robinson, Ph.D. One sentence reads:
"Research and experience show that lucky people often make their luck because of their attitudes. "
"The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it."
