Life pools around your heart

The buzz of hope

In every vein

A sinking dream

A flailing hand

Swimming

No

Just float.

Summer is in full swing and I am headed to the beach for a few days.  It’s already pretty hot, but for us Floridians, it is the perfect time to splash in the surf.  The water is nice and cool and the tourists have all gone home.  Enjoy my latest painting “Making Waves” while I enjoy some of my own. 🙂

What’s Your Favorite Color?

People always ask me about my favorite color.  That really is a hard question because I love ALL of the major colors and most of the secondary and beyond. Can I say that color is my favorite color?  Actually, it is green.  I’ve always had an affinity for this beautiful hue. It is so full of life and growing energy.  It makes me feel healthy and alive.  I lean toward the brighter shades up to lime green, but am equally comfortable with the rich earthy olives.  It’s a versatile shade.  I particularly enjoy pairing it with hints of blue as you see in my newest painting “Life Song”.  In this piece I believe the yellow is “green with envy”. 😉

Peaceful Understanding

What is forgiveness?  Wikipedia says:  Forgiveness is the intentional and voluntary process by which a victim undergoes a change in feelings and attitude regarding an offense, lets go of negative emotions such as revenge, with an increased ability to wish the offender well.^[1][2][3] Forgiveness is different from condoning (failing to see the action as wrong and in need of forgiveness), excusing (not holding the offender as responsible for the action), pardoning (granted by a representative of society, such as a judge), forgetting (removing awareness of the offence from consciousness), and reconciliation (restoration of a relationship).^[1]

I believe it is a peaceful understanding that your health and happiness are more important than a painful event or the person that inflicted it.  It is a letting go and a knowing that you no longer need to keep being punished by the past.  That you deserve better than those memories.  It comes from loving and approving of yourself.

Peaceful Understanding……

A very busy day here in my studio…..but I have three new pieces to share from my new “Transforming Energy” series.  Enjoy!

For over 18 years now I have had the great blessing to learn the lessons that only chronic vertigo can teach.  Specifically mine are migraine associated vertigo or MAV.  Actual headaches are rare at only one or two per month and they are controlled well holistically.  But the vertigo is insidious and comes and goes.  Mostly it comes with weather fronts and hormonal changes, but can show up at any time.  One of the things I have learned is that keeping my life as balanced and centered as possible is critical.  When I get the false sensations I know it is a good time to do some Yoga poses and reflect on where there is imbalance.  Once I hone in on it I can make adjustments to get me back to a place of peace.  Often it is overwork that causes me to slow down and tweak my daily routines.  I find the simple poses like the lotus work best for me to calm down my spirit and help me to get centered again.

Today’s offering from my “Transforming Energy” series reflects this sense of peace I gain during Yoga.

Enjoy!

Eternal Light….Does It Exist?

When I created this piece for my new “Transforming Energy” series there was something about it’s glow that made me feel eternal and full of light.  So I named it “Eternal Light”.  This morning as I set out to write my blog, I did a little Googling and discovered that there is such a thing. A peak of eternal light (PEL) is a point on a body within the Solar System which is always in sunlight. Such a peak must have high altitude and be on a body with very small axial tilt. The existence of such peaks was first postulated by Beer and Mädler in 1837. The pair said of the lunar polar mountains, “…many of these peaks have (with the exception of eclipses caused by the Earth) eternal sunshine. (taken from Wikipedia.)

So there are places in our solar system that have sunshine constantly.  Eternal Light.  How cool is that!

Heaven’s Eyes

If Heaven has eyes

What do they see

In the heart and mind

Of someone like me

Fear and triumph

Joy and pain

Rage and beauty

It’s all the same

Emotions come

And emotions go

It’s all just energy

enjoying the flow.

It is known that energy can neither be created nor destroyed.  So you cannot really have MORE energy, but you can have DIFFERENT energy.

All of life is made up of energy from the chair you are sitting on to the thoughts that move through your mind.  Art is the transformation of creative energy within the artist into a physical form which might be a painting, a poem, sculpture or other medium.  In my series “Transforming Energy” I wish to convey “feelings” far beyond visual beauty.  I am creating “Holistic” art that is pleasing to the eyes but can also move and touch the soul.  The shades and forms are deliberately soft and subtle. You will not find any hard edges or representational imagery.  The lines are blurred intentionally to represent the totality of life.  There is a circular motif in these works which is both soothing and tranquil.

Pure colors blended into soft waves of light and energy.

In the coming weeks I will be introducing new pieces from this series each day. Sometimes I will have something to say about them. Perhaps a quote or poem.  Or I may say nothing at all and let you, the viewer, decide what can be “felt” within the colors.

Your comments are always welcome and I would love to hear your thoughts…..

Find them ALL at the link below and stay tuned for more!

You create something beautiful of course!  It’s not just lemonade. 😉  I have been super busy working on my licensing partner’s requests and commissions.  I also have an upcoming show scheduled for March 2nd here in Tampa (more on that soon).  But I still find time to create as it is a MUST for my soul.  It clears my mind and calms my heart.  Please enjoy my latest art!
