Daily Painting: Day 1 and 2
Check your ego at the door and expand your horizons! Heather and I are inspired!! We're using Daily Painting by Carol Marine to jump start ourselves out of old habits and into new ones. We are going to do a painting a day and we are challenging ourselves to use mediums that we haven't used in a while. Join us!
Yesterday, Day 1, I ridiculously jumped in with oil paints and a still life with pineapple.....what was I thinking! I could've started with an apple, but NO. And I haven't done oils since college! Heather's blender in oils is just adorable. I'm going to revisit this pineapple when it dries a bit. To be continued....
Today, Day 2, we did pastels and I am reminded why I love to draw above all else. I did avocados in my favorite bowl and Heather did the cutest cow on the planet.
Tomorrow, Day 3, she is talking about watercolors...again. Haha. The push I need to broaden my artistic routine. Stay tuned. "Paint" with us!
Spring Lake

This is a watercolor of the lake where I spent every summer growing up and vacation every summer with my kids. My parents and aunts are selling the place and I'm going to miss it fiercely!
Sense
in Faces, Other themes
I think a lot. We all do. Our brains, like our hearts, never take a break. My teachers like Tolle and Byron Katie remind me that we are not these thoughts that spiral around at 3am, but the peace and awareness that underlies them. That got me thinking (of course) about the difference between intuition and ego. So my questions are, when you sense something, can you trust and know what is your intuition and what is your ego? Can you sense your own awareness? Are you aware that you are aware? Namaste
