New painting and some quotes to inspire

Believe by Mary Claire 2012 Acrylic on canvas 18 x 24 x 3/4″

We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.

[Maya Angelou]

As long as you have life and breath, believe. Believe for those who cannot. Believe even if you have stopped believing. Believe for the sake of the dead, for love, to keep your heart beating, believe. Never give up, never despair, let no mystery confound you into the conclusion that mystery cannot be yours.

[Mark Helprin]

If you let people break your spirit and detour you from your path, then you have not been true to yourself or those you’re here to touch, those who believe in you.

[Allison DuBois]
