Do.

Gosh, I’ve been thinking WAY TOO MUCH. I’m going to turn into a worry-wart. Swarming around in my little head getting all out of whack. Time to shut everything off I think. Time to power down and paint.
I am sorry for the lack of blogging lately. I can’t think of anything to say. If you want to say stuff, I open it up to you. Let’s inspire each other.

Following the Danny Gregory model, when I’m stuck in my head, I sit down and draw something in front of me that I don’t even care about. Line, form, splash it with (nonrealistic) color.
And I feel reconnected to my gut, not my logical, stuck-in-a-loop circuits.

I sometimes think there is a ‘net’ of energy because I feel blue funked sometimes [a bit this week] and then I’ll hear other people are too. I painted three things yesterday, and couldn’t tell what they looked like. I felt off.

I try to keep my hands moving and busy….I swithch to something like crochet….embroidery…Nothing fancy…just simple….Seeing something “become” lifts me and energizes me enough to just “Begin”…

i think it’s that time of year …after the hype of the holidays. and the winter cold. and stuff. you’re not the only one, it seems a bit of a common theme, in general. i like looking at trees. looking at them. listening to them, in the wind. thinking about how they work. they seem so immobile, but they aren’t, they’re always moving, and they’re so strong and majestic, and calming and comforting. and in harmony, and, i dunno, i guess there is just so much i like about trees. this wasn’t intended as words of wisdom, like ‘how to live like a tree’ (!) or anything, just that i was pondering a street lined with massive maritime pine trees as i was walking to my car this evening in the near dark, and you said to say stuff, and inspire …trees inspire me
take good care of yourself, and you’ve no need ot apologise for being quiet, it’s normal
all the best :)

Here is something to inspire you. You are one of my greatest muses! I write and post photos on GGG, but what I really (ache) crave is illustration. This year, one of my biggest personal goals is to post an illo on Illustration Friday. Yep. And Oh! Did I mention that knowing that you visit me once in a while totally rocks my world?! Oy. I am a fan, what can I say? ;-)

Hello… it’s been a while since i came here for the last time. Thinking too much can be really bad for your health. I decided to stop thinking, but it’s kinda difficult. Anyway, just relax and inspiration will visit you sometime.

“this too shall pass”
amen sister (I know you’re not really my sister and you don’t even know me but you know what I’m saying)!
Going over the river and through the woods usually leads me to my grandmothers house where her most famous words of wisdom to all of her family are the phrase mentioned above there. I even embroidered it into a family quilt for her that she made (her hands are too old to do embroidery anymore). Anyways that saying is a comfort to me and brings a lot of peace my way. I want to paint it on my ceiling but am worried about what the owners might think. Just keep on keeping on, trusting in the one who made you and he’ll guide your path (psalm 119:105).

what you are doing - living a sane life in a sickened society - can wear a woman out sometimes, but hey, you´re doing so GREAT and YOU ROCK!!, yes you do!, yes, even on the “bad days” !
…maybe it´s just time to lean back, and be proud of your life so far….
and once again,
thanks for sharing!
