Its St. Patrick's Day ... and I didn't paint a special image for today so I went looking in my recent images to find something to share with you. I decided on Old Mr. Turtle as his shell has some deep greens... I hope you all have a special St. Patrick's Day today and I hope you're wearing some green too!
Old Mr. Turtle and I offer you this familiar Irish Blessing to celebrate the day....
May the road rise to meet you,
may the wind be ever at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and the rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of his hand.
P.S. While I've got my turtle here... I'll leave you with some turtle wisdom:
Try to be like the turtle -- at ease in your own shell

Behold the turtle. He only makes progress when he sticks his neck out.
