New art

quick painting from New Mexico

arriving home with the burst of color Sunday

aching to paint but no air til today

The first painting shows the transition - midweek - readjusting - staying centered

watching how I have grown - seeing where I was - in order to see where I want to go clearer

Remaining centered

shifts in energies coming at me

acceptance

hope

grateful for:

the Kellys - their kindness and love

generousity

compassion

sandstone, quartz and red rocks

desert winds

high altitude sunshine

Keegan

animals

10,000 waves

green chiles

sopapillas

the blue room

NEW PAINTING - and Pinewood Derby car

March 9, 2010

My mendhi from last weekend - Thanks Jen!

Such a lovely weekend of sun - chanting - vibrations - mountains and love.

Following that......

And trying to start some new paintings while making some new spring cards...

working on a website...and keeping this blog up to date more.

More to come...

promise.

WAKING

Waking up on Sunday morning

REFRESHED

Spent the last two days fasting

Can't seem to get past 2 days

I think it has something to do

with my interaction with Keegan

I start to go into deep self places

and don't give him the attention he needs.

Sometime a week retreat somewhere

will provide the solace and emptiness

a full 5-7 day fast requires.

My normals routine would be to go

to the market this morning

but right now feel like working on

a brochure I am doing

so I am going with that.

I love this self portrait my son did this morning.

He's getting very good at these.

Inspiring me to do some of my own.

It's been a while.

Finally posting some things from the last month

Where does the time go?

Tonight was inspired by an amazing woman

Poet Nikki Giovanni spoke

at Bucks County

Community College

She was funny, honest,

relevant, rambling

and real.

“Love conquers all things; let us too surrender to Love”

- Virgil

"The creative process is a process of surrender,

not control.”

- Julia Cameron

“Better indeed is knowledge than mechanical practice.

Better than knowledge is meditation.

But better still is surrender of attachment to results,

because there follows immediate peace.”

- Bhagavad Gita
