The news lately has hit like a punch. I can't stop thinking about the
people enduring war, racism, cruelty in their communities and
countries. I know I am lucky to live in a free country, and I wish
I could change the world. But my art is about the beauty I see,
and I am lucky to live in an environment filled with inspiration.
Still lately I have found it difficult to move forward, forward
as a friend in Arizona says that dogs do.
Today I had a wonderfully cheerful conversation with another
artist friend, who's been going through some difficult times
with family, and we ended up laughing and arriving at the positive.
Clearly that was huge in my mind. I've been happily painting
ever since that conversation, and feel like I have my mojo back.
Tonight I'm showing you a little still life I started years ago, which
is currently a work in progress. I love watching Mitchell Johnson's
videos of changing his work -- sometimes while the work is framed and
hanging on a wall. So this piece is changing a little at a time, and
we'll see what happens. That is one of the wonderful things about
art -- we really will see what happens.
Have a loving your life day!
