@traciyork tagged me to participate in this challenge.
I completed this challenge already with "She Burst Forth," but decided to do it again.
This time, however, I am using a photograph of a art print that hangs on the wall at a local medical establishment. Since the print was unsigned, I figured it was yet another piece of mass-produced "décor artwork" which businesses purchase to adorn the walls, and never expected to be able to identify the artist. It was pretty, so I snapped a photo of it. Some time later, I decided to play with the processing on the photo and was pleased with the results. Then, I added a quote to it. Only then, I stumbled onto the name of the artist on the Internet, an American artist by the name of: Howard Behrens
Here is my original photo of the artwork:
My edits were to crop the photo, remove the posts protruding from the water, remove one of the two boats, and apply a grungy-pastel effect with more vibrant colors. It was while editing the photo that the idea for the words came to me.

We paint our lives
on the canvas of the universe.
In that sense, we are all artists! 😊
My nominations:
Thank you @thekittygirl. Very nice and so true. Our Life does mimic art in a lot of ways. Heck you could say it is Art, really. If you get down to it.
Again, thanks
