Spring is in full swing here in Florida and I have been one busy bee! I have been painting lots of commission work and my print sales are at an all time high. I just spent a few days with my daughter in Sarasota for her Spring break which was fun and relaxing. But today it is back to work for me. We’ve been cleaning and doing some upgrades in our home. I do not comprehend the concept of “light” cleaning. It’s always “deep” cleaning because once I see funk or dirt, I MUST clean it! I cannot turn a blind eye.
How does this tie into “zen”? The urban dictionary says:
I have been experiencing the “zen” of cleaning. My focus is intense and both my mind and body are fully together in my tasks. There are no illusions here. Dirt and dog hair have infiltrated every pore of my home. “The house was dirty, the house is cleanish.” 🙂
Happy Spring Cleaning!

Zen Flight………………………..Spring has sprung! #dragonflies #dragonflyart
Love the picture but can’t relate to equating cleaning and Zen 😉
Maybe it’s the stopping that achieves it. 😉
Great that you’re selling lots of prints and doing commissions. Way to go! I’m clearing out my house of old accumulations of things I no longer need/want. I agree it is very freeing to clean/clear out.
Very much so! I’ve been downsizing “stuff” for about a year now. I’ve never been a pack rat, but I am going even more minimal. Thanks for stopping by Kerry!

Achieving Zen…Zen Flight………………………..Spring has sprung! #dragonflies #dragonflyart
I totally get what you meant by cleaning and Zen. I, too, am downsizing even though I am not a pack rat at all. It feels good to be free of stuff and let the house and every being in it breathe!
Yes! I was just telling someone that….I have been “downsizing” for about a year now even though, like you, I am not a pack rat. Loving the “minimal”. 🙂
Yes, me too. I will also be changing latitudes in just over a year which has only added to my purging and consolidation and cleansing practice.
“Zen and the Art of Spring Cleaning” (and of course Motorcycle Maintenance)
I think there may be a book there somewhere.
Love the art too.
Happy Friday!
Ah yes….Every Spring and Fall for 10 years we gave the Fat Boy a good cleaning! Thank you for stopping by Lance!
An absolute new favorite work from you!
Thank you Douglas!
