So, I've been thinking about going back to painting. I'm FAR from being very good (as you can see from the picture included with this post) but I do like how painting relaxes me.
I'm also thinking about painting canvas with saying's like "Friends are the family we choose for ourselves."
But I would like to know what is everyone's favorite sayings that they would like to see on a canvas.
The ones I have so far are:
Friends are the family we choose for ourselves.
Home is where the heart is.
Work for a cause, not for applause. Live life to express, not to impress.
When Life gives you 100 reasons to cry, show life that you have a 1000 reasons to smile.
The only impossible journey is the one you never begin.
ART FOR CHARITY
I'm thinking about making a facebook page or group call Art for Charity. Where I would upload pictures of my art and if people buy a piece, I ship it to them unless they are close then I put whatever profits are made into an envelope to be donated to a cause.
As of right now, where I buy my canvas, it will only cost me like $1 or $2 to paint an 8x10 panel which could be put into a nice picture frame. For a regular canvas that has the wood in the back, it would be more.
Any and all opinions about anything in this post are welcome. I would prefer only positive feedback but I know that there might be a few people out there that would have something negative to say. I can take it. :)

I came up with another idea when I was at my sisters tonight. I'm going to paint a picture of an owl, well try to and then have the saying "Owl you need is love. Love is owl you need."
