Nature's Energy Custom Designs Share Healing Vibrations for Making Strides
PINK TOTES & LAPTOP BAGS for “MAKING STRIDES”
have been intentionally designed to share the healing vibrations of nature’s magical energy. Each PINK design has been created from an original photo of the ‘Wild Pink Orchid’ which grows in the grassy swamplands of Florida’s Everglades.
NOTE: For every PINK “Making Strides” bag purchased, Cortese Designs will donate 20% to Making Strides

Polo Ponies Playing on Miami Beach 2008 photo by Debra CorteseÂ
Â
Took my copy of Alyson Stanfield’s to Miami Beach and was all too easily distracted by the Polo Ponies, fabulous beach and great people watching. Will have to catch up on my reading elsewhere! Grab your copy of this outstanding artist’s resource book: I‘d Rather Be In The StudioÂ

Blue Plate Mango with Angel

Waiting for Mango Salsa
These are just two of a series of 11 new nature’s energy ‘mango’ photopaintings.
Check back here to see more of the MANGO series – I’ll post them later this week. Right now am listening to the last session of “A New Earth” with Eckhart Tolle and Oprah. What an inspiring worldwide discussion.

Last night I experienced the glorious sound of the sun rising over the rooftops of a tiny, cold room in Paris in the late 1800’s complements of the magnificent voice of Elizabeth Cabellero in her performance as Mimi in Puccini’s La bohéme.
If you’ve ever thought about going to the opera, the Arsht Performing Arts Center in Miami (formerly known as Carnival Center) is a most impressive venue.
As I write this morning with my studio windows and doors open wide to let in the refreshingly cool morning air, I am again listening to the Opera with renewed appreciation. So many ways to experience colors, feelings, stories.
Listen to the energy of nature. She speaks to us every day.
“il primo sole é mio,
il primo bacio dell’aprite é mio!
il primo sole é mio.”
“but when the spring comes
the sun’s first rays are mine.
April’s first kiss is mine, is mine!”
