If you viewed the previously posted video, you will be amazed by the ongoing revelation we are in. To reach 50 million users is amazing. Here are the six it talked about and there statistic on the number of years it took them to do it according to that video.

1. Radio took 38 years to reach 50 million users
2. TV took 13 years to reach 50 million users
3. The Internet took 4 years to reach 50 million users
4. IPOD took 3 years to reach 50 million users
5. Twitter took 6 years to reach 50 million tweets per day
6. Facebook took 9 months to reached 50 million users

What does all this mean? It means we’re in a complete information age revolution.

Here’s the seventh one, one that hasn’t reached 50 million yet, and you can help. Last week posted to this website was a video link to YouTube on Art Paintings and how important it is to find paintings that “capture your heart’s emotions”. These paintings help you because they promote your recall, positive thinking, emotional uplifts, your health and well being, and much more. Don’t you think it is worth people knowing that paintings, certain types of paintings, can make such a difference to their lives? Don’t you think that they should know what the differences are and what they can acquire?

If you do as I do, pass the word one by one. That video we posted said “78% of consumers trust peers”. If you’ve watched, that Wal-Mart’s ad for the lady that makes over her living room and puts that garbage on her walls, she needs to know that those wall covers aren’t paintings and obviously won’t do anything for her, her family, or any one that visits her. She needs to know that she could be giving positive reinforced messages daily to herself and those that live in her home or make contact with her in her home. She can make their lives better. I believe so, don’t you? Pass it on lets reach 50 million viewers with the message that certain Art Paintings, paintings that “capture your heart’s emotions”, can and will make a difference to their lives. Thank you!!

Not all paintings are equal! Often people find no value in the paintings they purchase and that’s because it’s purchased in the same way a pillow for the couch is purchased. Do you like the color? Does it match the set? Will it make me comfortable and what is the material it’s made from? While this mentality is great for pillows on couches and beds, it has nothing to do with paintings. Paintings aren’t wall hangings for decoration! If you find they are, you’ve probably paid too much for that $2 torn print you put in that yard sale frame.

When it comes right down to it most people don’t have any understanding for paintings other than, if I like it I like it and if I don’t, I don’t. While that is an excellent starting place, you’ll never fully realize the value a great painting can bring to your life each and every day. They don’t have to be offered by Sotheby’s or be expensive, but they can be, if you can find them or they can find you, “priceless”.

Here are Seven things to consider:

First, these paintings live and breathe and communicate, which means for you that:
1. They recall the things of your heart, memories of love and relationship.
2. They bring reminders to your minds eyes of beautiful experiences and places of refreshment.
3. They communicate encouraging messages each and every day you are engaged with them.

Second, these paintings offer hope, optimism and positive reinforcement, which means for you:
1. They have triggers that set off the positives in your thinking and in your emotions
2. They give you constant reminders of good experiences and good feelings
3. They put these activated positives into combat against negative thinking and stress

Thirdly, paintings come from passionate expressions of creativity, which means for you:
1. They peak your interest in acquiring a better understanding of the artist painters
2. They push you to seek out more knowledge of color, balance, composition and alike
3. They create a desire to know more about the style, the technique, and the medium

Fourthly, paintings, great paintings contribute to your life and health, which means to you:
1. They change your moods and bring about noticeable changes in your thinking
2. They shape the way you look at things marking a cause of well-being and health issues
3. They allow you to personally witness the power of positive memory recall

Fifthly, paintings affect your environments and decors, which means to you:
1. They give you anchors during stressful times and not just pretty images without meaning
2. They offer you positive, hopeful laden messages rather than meaningless wall decoration
3. They evoke positive personal reminders to you rather than things that match pillows

Sixth, paintings contribute to culture and society, which means to you:
1. They connect and engage you to grow socially and culturally
2. They broaden the scope of your insight and understanding
3. They bring to life that it is not just about you, individually

Seventh and finally, paintings aren’t just about collections, auctions and monetary returns which means to you:
1. They let you grasp the effect of finding paintings that capture the heart’s emotions
2. They make you realize the many benefits of acquiring engaging works
3. They give you a new perspective of investment and return

Remember it’s not about just Paintings, just Prints, just Pictures, or just Images, or just Money; it’s about finding and acquiring great paintings that captures your hearts emotions. They truly are “Priceless”!

“A Should See for Art Lovers – Funny-Enjoy!!”

The Maiden Heist (2008)
Over the years, museum security guards Roger (Christopher Walken), Charles (Morgan Freeman) and George (William H. Macy) each fall in love with a particular work of art in their care. But now, the new curator is shipping out all three works in an overhaul of the museum’s collection. Desperate to save their favorite pieces, the men hatch a plan to steal them before they can be shipped away. Marcia Gay Harden co-stars. (A Netflix Description)

You know about every child at least in America who’s entered those hallowed halls of public education has been lauded over and wooed over and told so many times that they are the “Next American Artist” that it is somewhat of a joke. Everyone is an artist. Everyone is the next “da Vinci”, “Michelangelo”, “Picasso” or alike. Not too many find themselves being told they are the next “Andy Warhol”. Ouch, that’s going to leave a mark! With all this, including the cheapening of expression, the ability to counterfeit money on a laptop, and printing out anything, the world around us as well as society and culture have changed the perception of who an artist truly is.

Artist painters just don’t fall off some pumpkin wagon and say “Oh I’m a painter; I guess I’ll paint the ceiling of the new stadium in Dallas and be famous”. I did however, have one artist ask me if changing from acrylics to oil paints would make him famous sooner. Most of them found their unique position thru the outpouring of what they found in themselves. Most were encouraged to continue in their expressions. Most came to realize that they were given a gift, a true outstanding gift from the Creator of the Universe. Most understand that this gift like so many others, contrary to today’s instant jackpot mentality, has to be watered, fed, cultivated and handled with tender loving care.

The second through the fifths reasons are part of their gift as the gift comes with certain abilities and insights. Artist Painters see things a bit differently. Their talent allows them to look, see, envision and visualize nature, line, balance, composition, shapes, designs, color, plus a whole lot more. Some have camera like recall. They look and observe the world around them with glasses that are sometimes universal to other artists and sometimes unique to them, but they all posses this ability. They feel in ways that are unique to them and most often don’t talk about them or don’t let others know. They love. They love the earth, the environment, the planet, their fellow human beings, nature and its wildlife, domestic animals, women and men, relationships, friends, husbands and wives, children and family. You say well we all do that. That’s true, but it’s different for an artist as they have all these inner expressions, struggles, perceptions, questions, realties, truths and untruths, judgments and more going on in their heads. It’s like a filter or a series of multi layered filters that are constantly straining out all these different things to hopefully bring them something that adds to their being or be discarded due to its affect on them and their work. It’s a foundation and a formulation of their choices and their individual actions.

Next they cry! They cry real tears, not crocodile tears and they cry inside and out, sometimes aloud. They have deep emotional understandings and sensitivities, often unseen and most often not discussed. They are susceptible and affected by many things, many people and many relationships. They are affected by words, actions, and deeds. They are affected by foundations built and foundations torn apart. They are affected by being with people and being alone. When they cry out loud, you will usually find them in their artistic expressions.

Sixth, their expressions flow through them. They may suffer sometimes with a type of writers block, but artist painters usually will move to another type, method or technique to continue their ongoing pursuit, education and quest for perfection. They may also return to their previous track. Brush in hand, electronic pen brush on tablet, or through some ability to overcome a handicap, they are driven to create from visions, concepts, outgrowth of their viewing and observations an expression that is unique to their talent level, gift ability, educational standard, or understanding and learned level. It truly doesn’t matter to them what anyone else’s understanding or perception of their creation is until they offer it for the enjoyment of others which in many cases is like a lamb to the slaughter where everyone is a critic and an authority.

The seventh, and in this case the final reason, is artists painters just can’t help it. It’s what they do, what they love and what they want to be!
