A lover of poetry, abstract and realistic painting, music, good writing, languages, Italy, photography, holistic therapies, natural lifestyle and fully living the moment.
My life is a continual journey where growth through fun is a priority. I appreciate humor (as French humorist Gad Elmaleh) yet love a good lecture in philosophy by a Master such as Michael Sandel in ” Justice: What’s the right thing to do? ”
I’m curious about everything, from plants to Alternative ways of thinking and living, such as the works of the Biologist Bruce Lipton or Dr. Wayne Dyer’s philosophies.
The sole purpose of this blog is to share wisdom, philosophies, natural recipes, art and photography with people who are receptive and aspire to a better life. Giving them the opportunity to appreciate its natural beauty.
I would like to add/announce the opening of my Instagram account & Facebook page (You could check it at: Life Paintings

Wow! I truly feel honored. I am going to look up the conditions. I have no idea how we nominate others and therefore have never ventured into nominating another. It seems very complicated to be able to put a link, give direction, notify and nominate further. Thanks! I appreciate the time it takes to organize all that.
Love what you wrote. I’m with you. 🙂
Thanks!
Hi oa….(i don’t know what to call you.lol) XD
Thanks for following my blog! I think I’ll enjoy reading your blog as well. As you can see, we both like arts and poetry and it shows in both of our blogs. So, I’ll be following too. Haha. Since I don’t create abstract art much, reading your blog will be a breath of fresh air of creativity. lol. Thanks! 🙂
~ Mel
Thanks for going on my blog too, 😉 it’s so good to be inspired by another’s talent. It is indeed very refreshing for me too!
Nice to meet you! Thank you for following, greatly appreciated! Love, Linda
My pleasure, it is a lovely blog you have 🙂
Your Gravatar does not send people to your wordpress blog because there is a letter missing from your name. Instead of oawritings, it says oawiting (missing the r) I thought you would like to know so the world can find you!
The Lioness
Thanks! That’s very kind 🙂
I just surfed in, purely by accident and read some of your stories. Loved the picture of the Lioness of course and The Cove. We are all travaille hard to make a bonne vie! Please forgive my terrible French,,,I was not a good student in this class….but I love using the words I do remember!
I too lose myself in my creative endeavors hoping my creations will speak loudly enough to be understood and recognized for their “genius”. The creativity I have discovered on the internet reveals skills beyond my level, yet I still hope. Creating is a wonderful, peaceful place. Writing, too.
Write, on!
The Lioness
Indeed, we do have true professionals in the blogging world. I want to nevertheless specify that in the article ” in the act of writing ” I was actually using a humoristic tone, I did not for a moment believe with all the brilliant writers out there, that I could compete… I thank you for taking your time to share and comment, I appreciate it 🙂
You’ve worked hard developing your blogging community and I love how you bring happiness to all those around you. Your art and writings give me much joy every morning. I’ve nominated you for the Shine On Award. Congratulations, please see the details here http://oilpastelsbymary.com/2013/01/16/shine-on-award/
it is a pleasure to meet you! looking forward to reading more
thanks

Ivon

Thanks so much for visiting my blog and liking my posts! I appreciate it very much. I’ve enjoyed my visit here and look forward to following your posts. 😀
Thanks, I do appreciate as much, you, reciprocating 🙂
Hi oa, Thank you for following my photography blog. Hope you enjoy. Love what you’re doing here. Will look forward to seeing more.
I am happy you enjoyed “leafing” through… Positive feedback makes it all worthwhile.
Many thanks & appreciation 🙂
Thanks for the recent visit to (and follow of) my blog. It brought me here and I’ve been enjoying the eclectic set of posts.
I took particular note of the video of Big Sur that you posted a couple of weeks ago. I’ve been to that specific location, once. McWay Falls is located within Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park, but there’s very limited access to views of the waterfall and the entire cove. The video provides an entirely different perspective. I was at this location just once, roughly 15 years ago, when I was still in the developmental stages of becoming serious about photography. I do hope to go back one day in attempt to do the place visual justice–something I completely failed to do the first time around.
Wow! Thank you so much for all that information 🙂 I do realize through your past experience and other videos on You tube how reality is very far from the views presented to us from professionals working on premises.
It can be a big disappointment for tourists arriving to the idealistic spot they were prepared to see.
Having said that, I continue having tremendous pleasure watching them and believe going there must be like getting a good place for New years fireworks… or you see the whole show in all its splendor or you don’t! It’s just tough luck 🙂
Thanks for sharing your knowledge, I appreciate the effort.
Hi, thank you for visiting my blog. I am enjoying the beauty of your pics and paintings.
My pleasure! And thanks to you too for liking & visiting 🙂
It’s a pleasure meeting you.
Thanks & welcome!
Beautiful place you have here! Thanks for visiting The Brass Rag. Come back and see us again soon.
Thanks for this comment, welcome to you too 🙂
Thanks for visiting my blog, all your likes and your very generous comment about my work.

Thanks! I appreciate 🙂
Thanks for dropping by Ironwoodwind. I’m curious as to how you found my post. Tags? Good fortune for me? I think so. Looking forward to exploring your blog.
Aloha,
Doug
I usually find bloggers what they call with-similar-interests on the right margin of mine.
Thanks for taking an interest & liking.
Hello and a big thank you for visiting my photography blog and liking so many 🙂
My pleasure! You have lovely photography there, it is very refreshing to the eye…
You have been nominated for an award http://quarteracrelifestyle.wordpress.com/2013/10/09/the-sunshine-award/
I’m honored and grateful that you have thought my blog worthy of the sunshine award.
I’ll check the link…thanks 🙂
Thanks for visiting my blog and for liking my posts. You have a lovely blog. I managed to see only one painting, which is beautiful, the other posts of paintings are not available, or I just don’t know how to access the post. Your photos are beautiful too.
Thanks for visiting,commenting & liking too! If you noticed in the five last posts approx. I was encountering huge problems with having erased all my photos from my blog by inadvertence and am in the middle of restoring firstly the poetry section but now that you mentioned the paintings I’ll take that one on instead of the photography category which I previously thought of undertaking after having completed this one. You made me realize that the paintings come first. Thanks! I appreciate the incentive your feedback gave me 🙂
My pleasure! I’m looking forward to seeing your restored painting section.
I’m glad you pointed out to me about the painting category. I made it a priority thanks to you & mentioned it in my update post. I’m getting at it hopefully tomorrow but it takes a while till it’s completed. After a year there’s quite an accumulation 🙂
Sorry to bother you, but I’m hopelessly technologically challenged, and every time I’ve come to your blog, I can never work out where to press the following button. What am I missing, please?
It makes me laugh when people say this because I’m not a technological person in the least!
But this I do know just for having done it so many times for others.
To my young experience, when I like a post a written sign comes up asking “do you want to follow?” something like that…and all you have to do is push on that. I hope that’s how my blog works too 🙂 good luck & thanks!
It gives me great pleasure in giving you The Sister of the World Blogger Award Love and Blessings

I really loved scrolling down your blog, horses & dolphins being my top favorites 🙂
Nurturing what we love is indeed the kiss of life.

That is so kind! I’ll check out your link, thank you 🙂
Thank you for visiting my blog and liking my posts. I very much appreciate your notice. I feel very new at this…Good for you all the recognition you’ve received. I wondered if those horses were Norwegian Fjords. Blessings on you this day…
I think they are but I can’t swear.
I thoroughly enjoyed that outing, I believe that if you do what you love it’s bound to be felt through (the photography or writing) and I was grateful it did on this post… as we are never sure how the reader will react.
Recognition is something that came very slowly by as I don’t have Facebook, Twitter etc…but it builds up along the way with a bit of patience.
My blog is 1 yr and 8 months old and in the beginning I was totally at loss with the system as I’m not at all technologically inclined but along the months repetition was the best of schools and today to my utter surprise I feel quite at ease with it ( I have to admit that other bloggers very kindly offered to help too) but I had my share of mishaps so if there’s anything I can help you with I’d be very happy to oblige 🙂
Thanks for visiting too & commenting it is very much appreciated 🙂
Wishing you a very good week!
Hi, nice to meet you! You have very interesting “colorful” blog! I like it…and look forward to see new post! Have a nice weekend. Kamila
Thanks Kamila for following & commenting!
In my before-last post I just let know my followers that I’m taking off to support my kids in exam times then, we fall into summer holidays so, I’m taking a break until then.
I’m sorry for the inconvenience & look forward to your visits… meanwhile I’ve celebrated my 500th post which you can browse through at your leisure & would be honored if you do so 🙂
Wishing you a very pleasant summer!
Thanks for coming to my blog and enjoying my posts… IAM sure we are going to enjoy each others journey… creating our hearts desires… Barbara
You are most welcome! Looking forward too 🙂
wonderful blog, paintings, photos and musings, Thanks for visiting my blog and planting all the likes! 🙂 blessings, Brad
You are welcome, much appreciation for reciprocating.
I also like Gad Elmaleh… 🙂
Isn’t he amazing?! I find he touches the thoughts & subjects that preoccupies everyone’s mind, each one can find himself in his jokes.
I think the greatness of an artist is to make people laugh at themselves & turn the sad or tragic into happiness.
Thank you for scrolling down my blog, it’s very much appreciated 🙂
I pinned one of your pastel paintings, and quickly removed it after reading this! I so admire your work and respect your wishes concerning sharing it.
I am not familiar with the term “pin” but if someone re-blog’s a post with my link or mentions my blog & puts my link on theirs I’m OK with it, I just wouldn’t like my work to be taken for someone else s, it should be mentioned in the post & they should be able to click on the image with my link visible on it.
I truly appreciate your honest attitude, it is the way I try to live on a daily basis.
We could use more honesty around the world 🙂
So, go ahead & re-blog if you wish with the above directions, I’d appreciate that.
I am trying to work myself up to an eventual exposition (with a lot of luck & divine intervention 😉 )
or maybe an online art selling facility so, a bit of publicity can only be a good thing!
Thank you.
Thank you for liking a blog post of mine! This lead me to your cool blog here!
You have an amazing blog too! I must have liked a post of yours that someone I follow re-blogged no?
Beautiful work, very inspiring. One day I will return to my love of Art. Maybe when I retire.
Thank you for the feedback and all the likes.
It’s my pleasure.
