I don't remember when I first started chatting with Kathleen Tennant on Twitter but I do remember how blown away I was when I saw her art. I am not an artsy person. I've been to a few art galleries and while I'd like to be all fancy schmancy and talk about how the art moved me, it was not meant to be. I just saw pictures. Even the Mona Lisa is just a chick with a smirk to me. I know...there should be banjos playing as you read that last sentence.
So ya, I was never moved by art until the day I clicked on Kathleen's website. I was spellbound and spent half an hour looking at everything, then bought this hand-painted notebook.
It's the notebook I use for writing ideas and inspiration. I keep it beside my desk and look at it every day—it never fails to remind me to stay true to myself and be authentic. Almost all of her paintings have a message: Be Strong, Love Runs Through, With Love Comes Peace. It's the first time I've ever felt moved by art.
A few weeks ago, Kathleen and I were chatting and she said she had been busy working on a new project. When I asked what, she sent me the link to a new site where she sells her art on laptop and iPad skins.
I'm pretty sure I now have the prettiest laptop ever.
Little Things Captured In Time—it's perfection.
Note: Kathleen didn't ask me to write this. I wasn't given anything for free—I have bought and will continue to buy her art with my own money. I just absolutely love what she does.
