Day 4: The main thing … is to keep the Main Thing … the MAIN THING
This powerful attribute is what athletes experience on the football field, baseball field or basketball court. The players train themselves to tune out personal problems, household chores, the news, physical pain, poor weather or any distracting elements.
Life is likened to a game. Once you decide to stop being a spectator and become a participator… you have to develop a game plan, focus on your goal, listen to your coach, tune out the opposing spectators and be willing to handle resistance and tackles.
Day 3: Research shows that *Nature Art helps the healing process and artist Erin Hanson enhances this with beauty and design
“I just want people to be happy when they see my paintings” says artist Erin Hanson. In her studio, golden frames surround large panels of dizzying flower fields, jagged red cliffs, rivers trickling over rocky beds, and dense mountain forests. Erin’s art draws inspiration from the great outdoors. Whether she is visiting a new city for a show or touring a national park, she is constantly in search of scenes to paint.
Many of her works are inspired by her experiences rock-climbing and backpacking—she still takes week-long trips once or twice a year for the sheer enjoyment as well as to find more material for her paintings.
Erin has developed a personal style, called “open impressionism” making oil paint her primary medium because she likes the texture and its resemblance to the great Vincent van Gogh.

Chris Bonno writes about Brett Gilbert, the writer-comedian, father, illustrator, whimsical photographer, poster-ad designer, and oil painter.
I had the privilege, long ago, of seeing numerous paintings done by Brett with oil paint and a series of different sized spoons, in person, in his then small apartment while he was finishing up a few. He was creating spot-on large versions of cereal boxes from the sixties and seventies.
