RAPT IN ART 2019

What people are saying?
 
“Greta why are you simply creating artworks in your Magnolia Art Studio in another country and not your own?”
 
 
My answer:

I do paint in Australia, but it does not come naturally there.
 
The Spirit soothingly flows with me in the delicate environmental space known as my Magnolia Art Studio in Mississippi, USA. It feels untouched by the outside world.
 

I acknowledge that true harmony can produce selfless purity.  Believe me, Art and Love can elope on the skirts of a painting!
 
Being sensitive, I must have an impeccable flow of composition and constructive vibes around me. In my birth country, too many interests claim my time. Time deductions persist; having an active mind I have no other apology!
 
Melodiously, in my space the harpsichord sings out with the movement of “Trio Sonatas” by Bach and Telemann, and, of course, a hint of the old times “Rock and Roll.”  Classical opera means drama and creates a flare of inspirations. Religious lullabies sooth my creative path when I am desperate for the different! My sometimes-empty soul engages with this musical stream and connects me with the paintbrush, focusing directly to the canvas.

RAPT IN ART
by
Greta Archbold LL.D. Hon.

Like, a gift I am lifted upward,
Like, a dove I fly around and upward,
Like, a female I grow with anticipation upward,
My art flow emerges from nothing to out and upwards!
Like, I do count!
Like, no doubt!
Like, I do listen for the beat of on and off,
Like, my heart pumps
Emerging, forthwith into joy
Thank you Holy Spirit!
You guide my directions,
My journey only complete
When you say so
Until then I will grow and go
Not coy
Individually with joy!
 
Rapt in Art!
Where is my cart?
What art?
Where is the beat?
Rapt in Art!
Alone and needy
Groaning will not make me greedy
Rapt in my Art!
Smile and participate,
I cannot be constipate,
I need a grant!
I require heat!
I seek the beat!
Glow, grow, and paint, 
Be who you are
I am rapt and wrapped in Art.

IN THE MOOD FOR MUSICAL MOODS ART
 
by 
Greta Archbold, LL.D. Hon.
 
I’m in the mood for Musical Art,
For the art anointing is upon me. 

With the floating feeling of musical notes on my heart,
The blood flow leads my hands to music within me!
 
Heaven is in the chosen glorious colors,
For I’m in the mood for Musical Art!
 
Why stop to think of whether
my paintings will fade,
for anointed art is eternal and bright.  
 
For I’m in the mood for Musical Moods Art!

YOUTH, ART, AND ROMANCE
by
Greta Archbold, LL.D. Hon.

There is no deadline for youth, art, and romance,
but a state of mind!
Not just finding a husband or a wife,
But a mindful matter of the design!
A character of a beautiful soul, and
a time of brightness and passion; bouncy and fresh,
of the deep springs within.

Youth, art, and romance mean courage over timidity of the appetite, exploring and adventures over the love of passiveness.

It does not matter about our age,
for the deep springs within us flow,
no requirements for regrets, no looking back, choosing not
to forget the things forgiven.
Not wasting time in judging the flaws of others.
We must not abandon our dreams and ideals.
Our deep romantic passion and compassion for others are our mandates!

Reaching forth in the joyful now and to the good things daily, coming our way as we love God and rejoice in Him.
Age may wrinkle the skin, but to give up the enthusiasm of life, wrinkles the soul.
Let us openly smile declaring, “That’s your problem!"
We barely even notice a suffered wrong.
Because our deep springs within us, flow.

In our hearts is the love of the wonder of it all,
having the unfailing childlike appetite of enjoying
today, the now, and laughing at the days to come.

In our hearts, there is a wireless station of receiving,
and giving out messages of love, cheerfulness, courage, and beauty.
Naturally, the faith, hope, love, and passion continue to flow within the deep, mysterious springs,
Including the power of the Holy Spirit dwelling in us.

We catch the little foxes of life, having all junk mail securely blocked.
Let us meet and give out waves of optimism, being satisfied with our lot in life, even into our seventies and through to our nineties.
And then throughout eternity with the joy of
our Lord and Savior giving us strength, youth,
and, yes, romance, and all these abundantly.

Ever since time began, nothing has ever been found stronger than love!
Do you feel the flow of your deep springs within?
Let youth, art, and romance dance on within and around us forever!

​

Greta Archbold respectfully comments on her own work.

“Youth, Art, and Romance” was written outright, in one go, in my art studio on a hot summers day in the USA, with the simple aid of iced unsweetened coffee. A squirrel took a glance at me from the French window, turned and scurried up the Magnolia tree. The squirrel frightened the mockingbirds, who flew away. I then turned on my music!

Let youth, creative art, and romance dance on within and around us forever! Being a romantic and a genuine person, that sentence makes perfect economic sense! We all require affection, no matter what age, time zone, or culture we have endured.

Consider with me this truth:
"With positive initiative and intuition, I faithfully hope and trust that I can deliver positive thoughts to you all!"

 

LOVE AND WAR ART EMOTIONS 
by
Greta Archbold, LL.D. Hon.

Where is the invisible stamp mark that says boldly there cannot be Global peace?

Where is the Art, which explains the perfect peace?

Perhaps in the Divinity!

Maybe in the Eternity in Heaven which some of us are guided to reach for when we go away?
Ultimately, doesn’t our expiry date fall due?
This will be the given time when we exit our Global world.

In the now we are desperately looking for peace!
No more wars, deceit, destructions,
Where is our guideline?

As human flesh, not robots, when do you think we globally will connect functionally?

Where is the Art in functioning?

Apparently there is no deadline!

Like Art, it rotates, it surrounds us in millions of ways, by thought, word, deed and environment, “the everything!”
Like War, as human beings on earth we despise the thought,
Human lives are involved, as is the waste of finances globally.
Money can be used to assist others day and night.

Where is the positive art in warfare?

Love and War Emotions mean various temperaments, like a format of artistic productions, love never fails, wars that come and go!

Broadly, where do you stand!
Are you still interested?
Are you ready for action?

May the peace be with us in our daily lives, spiritually and “the everywhere!”

Art may symbolize, dramatize, art is important!
Art makes statements, and mostly allows us to enjoy the usually pleasant magnificent surroundings globally!
For in doing so, we bless God!
