Here is where I write about works in progress, ideas and the process behind the paintings. Also practical stuff like what brushes, paints and technique I use to create my art. And my daily life and my continuing intent to be fully human being, whatever that entails. How my spiritual awareness impacts my paintings and my life... the stillness between breaths. The marriage of the practical and the expansive.
I have always been aware of the beauty in this world, the simple beauty. Like the sunlight across the floor, rippling water, color, the shape of a leaf; the sights that are all around us every day no matter where we live or what we are doing. The ordinary that is exquisitely beautiful. Which I have come to discover is the stillness in the moment, in my breath... the stillness between breaths.
It is a journey of self exploration to fling paint, to see what arises on the canvas; painting not what is seen, but what is really there. Every moment we create. We are art.
Working with acrylics on gessoed canvas I paint for the sheer joy of colors, to tell a story, to answer a question... to ask questions.
I create.
Life is a harmonious awareness of all that I am, we are. My painting is like life, a continuous process of growth and learning. To exercise my awareness through painting, to touch the Mystery... that is why I paint.
And that is what I write about... my life of flinging paint.
