Lucky Night

i've tried a lot...and most things excited me...but what tops it off...is doing two things at a time.... 




(Sugarcubes, Lucky Night)

and I love doing things that involve a bunch of senses....

you know...like driving, long distance...taking it all in....drinking a latte....listening to music....

recharging...brainstorming....getting ideas....dreaming of dreams.

feeling sand between your toes and watching a sunset....(sunrises are difficult for me, I'm not a morning person).


and one thing I really love doing is taking an old painting...and re-working it....giving it new life...

this is especially true for old oil...or acrylic canvases....painting over something allows me to use what I like...change what I don't....but all that I did in the old painting...strokes and colors...helped me grow....experience....to bring something different to the new...appreciating lessons learned...

huh.  kind of like life...see how I do that?  HAHAHAHAHahahahhahaha....om. something I've been reading a whole lot about...embracing things....that liberate you.....and parting ways with things that limit.....

does it liberate?  or does it limit?   ask yourself that.  life is too short to spend it in a box...or let other people define and dictate

and this painting today....I cut out a scrap of watercolor from another larger doodle...so all the blue was there.....but....

I fit the figure in the blue....not really sure how the new would co-exist with the old....but you know....

sometimes....co-existing with what was there before is necessary....

you can't just....ignore what was there before....but somehow you need to learn to grow from it...work through it...find some harmony....a harmonious existence...

and sometimes....

well

a lot of times....

well,

always....


it is hard work...but the work is worth it...for something better than could ever be imagined.



peace....love....and always...learning and growing...and building...and creating....

peace and harmony.
