The three we have now are<BR/>as crazy as we are, and they entertain us all the time. I have another friend whose dog died, and it's still hard to talk about it. I understand. In your case Loki, and in ours, Fiona really helped us get over that loss.<BR/><BR/>I think my subconscious may drive all of my paintings. What a great <BR/>thought. <BR/><BR/>I've used guided imagery a lot in my art seminars. I think artists "get" it so instantly that it's a powerful force in both healing, and creativity. When we're told to see something in "our mind's eye" we're there in an instant. I think that makes artists lucky, blessed even.<BR/>xoxoxoBarbaraBarbara Muirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342757136485853833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855482737695202500.post-5838294494500872692009-02-13T18:21:00.000-08:002009-02-13T18:21:00.000-08:00This is a very touching post, Barbara.

Dr. Pulos sounds wonderful and his guidance in creative visualization seems well suited to artists. <BR/><BR/>The painting of Simone is very expressive, full of emotion, and full of love. I know just what you mean--how a beloved pet's death feels like the death of a beloved family member. I had a dog who died too young. He was like a guide dog for me during recovery from a traumatic brain injury. I, too, was inconsolable (couldn't get out of bed) until my husband brought home our new german shepherd, Loki. <BR/><BR/>It really does look as though you've had a visitation. The colors are deep and intense, much they way our subconscious sees, yes?<BR/><BR/>Elegant rendering too.Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16793226305585541931noreply@blogger.com
