did you know....that drinking tea made from pine or spruce needles can give you a serious kick of vitamin C? so...if you're a dirty pirate...stinky from months at sea...at risk for scurvy....heat hot water...and pour it over some of those deliciously nasty needles...gulp that crap down.
gross. add honey....
it's Sunday...and I'm painting. I was intrigued by snow covered pine and spruce trees at Lake Louise the other day...offering some green splashes underneath fluffy mounds of snow....contrast....(and you know how much I love contrast...contrast is kind of key for us to notice things :) )
walking around just kind of obsessed with them...and what my masking fluid would do with them... This painting...I didn't use any masking...just kept a lot of white paper...but I want to do some masking fluid later...and today was more...trying to figure it out a bit more....I almost think...yes...
I probably over painted today...but oh well....sometimes just the painting of the painting is what makes me happy....like coloring mandalas....painting starts to feel like that...just....more...relaxing and letting the mind check out and let other things take over....

and sometimes....
I walk around....and just look at things...just...looking around and mentally painting....water coloring things as I walk around....applying paint....thinking about how the water will swirl the colors around...

and did you know....that when you imagine doing something...a part of your brain ignites...and it's the same part of the brain that ignites if you are actually doing that thing. so...basically...the brain doesn't know the difference- whether it's something being imagined...or something being physically done...amazing. :)
and also...did you know that....your conscious mind is the part that sets up goals...but your subconscious mind is the part that actually attains those goals.
visualizing shit you want to happen... is actually pretty powerful for making things happen. Imagining something happening- in your conscious mind....can shift over to your subconscious mind...because the subconscious mind doesn't actually know that what is getting visualized is in your imagination.... :) pretty kick ass.
so visualizing something awesome....makes awesome happen...and makes your brain think it's actually happening...so it's just as rewarding, to your brain.
in fact....
want to turn your mood around? just starting thinking about happy stuff....yeah....do it. happy stuff...full of happy bliss....even in the dead of winter.
