Simple Sunday with Artist James C. Christensen
Welcome to Simple Sunday!
Tonight we are featuring a piece of artwork by artist James C. Christensen.
Christensen was born in 1942 and raised in Culver City, California. He studied painting at Brigham Young University and, for a while, the University of California at Los Angeles before finishing his formal education at BYU. Since then, he has had one-man shows in the West and the Northeast and his work is prized in collections throughout the U.S. and Europe.
Inspired by the world’s myths, fables and tales of imagination, James C. Christensen wants his work to add up to more than a beautiful – if sometimes “curious” looking work of art. Having taught art professionally for over 20 years, he likes to think of the world as his classroom. His hope is that through whatever he creates-be it a porcelain, fine art print or book-he can convey a message, inspiration or a simple laugh. He believes that teaching people to use their imagination helps us find solutions to sooth the stresses of everyday life-or get a little lift to help us keep going. In short: all things are possible when you share Christensen’s philosophy that “Believing is Seeing.”

A MIND TERRIBLE THANG TO WASTE
^
Pat pat
Hey there mister muse man
Sittin on your stoop there
I am your fallin angel
Try to git your attention here
Hangin up side I be
Yet all you see
Is black and white tiles
And not me
Where oh where
Has the mind gone
To far to even see
The likes of me

Sometimes the Spirit Touches Us Through Our Weaknesses”
Art by : James C. Christensen
Thank you ~ Love this art and title
When feeling low
Not ourselves moving slow
Within self -esteem has no glow
As extra weight on shoulders so
Heavy feeling as hump on back growns
Then feel something take ahold know
A positive spirit touching releasing all unfolds
One may say as an angel for warmth she holds
Making us feel love within that`s never old
Knowing you will succeed for life is precious as gold
Sorry to arrive so late, but was out picking blueberries with a friend and then we started making zucchini relish…been a long, long day! Cleaning the berries is going to have to wait for tomorrow! 🙂 A quick write for this wonderful piece of art! :love: :love: :love:

BEFORE I COULD RUN
Lost in a stupor,
no thought in my head,
trying to recover
from whatever they said,
all sad and mopey,
no smile left inside,
no inclination at all
to go out and play,
fearing I’ll just
have to stay this way,
hoping something
will come along
to change the way I feel
and to brighten up my day.
Alas, I finally feel it,
something stirring
deep inside,
not quite sure
what it is . . . .
I think I might hide.
But before I could run,
it tapped me
on the shoulder
and poked me
in the ribs;
it tickled my toes
and my funny bone
and I’d love to know
what gives.
But at the moment
it doesn’t matter at all
what’s going on inside;
I’m happy once more
and thankful for
whoever opened up
the door.
