Carpe Diem

Computer Painting ( Painter & PS)

What points out Computer Painting is the use of brushes, spatulas, etc… without filters or effects, and that the art is made totally freehand on blank canvas or working on a previous image.

Carpe Diem

Raise your eyes
Don’t back down
Look at the world
Straight in the eye
You’ve got nothing to lose
Nothing to hide
Take on that challenge
Kick down that wall
You know your big and strong
You’ve grown too big for this place
And your feet won’t stop moving
Go. Go. Go.
Go to where you need to go
Today is the day for action

Fill your heart with love
Arm yourself with hopes and dreams
Open your mind
Let in the beauty of life and love and light
For the world is ready to be taken in
and devoured by you

Life is water
And time is cruel
So what are you waiting for?
It’s all there for you
Be greedy and hog up the day
Let your heart sing for you
Let your soul tell you where to go
It’s your life
No one can tell you what to do

And be the tree
You were meant to be
Roots firmly planted in the earth
Branches reaching high above
And grow and expand
like the wide ocean that you are inside
There’s no limit

Tell the world who you are
Tell them what you’re meant to do
Make your mothers proud
And make your existence worthwhile
Make sure every breath you take is not in vain
Better dead than useless, I say
Everything flies away in the wind in the end
And the secret of life lies simply in living it

Write with conviction
Walk with purpose
Mount your horse
And kick it into action
Head straight for that horizon
And heed your burning desire to do something
Action this day

Be your own hero
Be your own warrior
Be your own guide
And soon troops
Will follow behind

You’ll gather your truth
You’ll grab the moment
You’ll pin down the seconds
And fleeting time will be by your side
You’ll feel life beat inside of you like a drum
And the love flow in and through your heart
Like a swollen river in the sun
For the world lies open and ready to be taken in and devoured by you
So what are you waiting for?
Seize the Day!
