Energy

Posted on July 25, 2009 by emerald

I may have uploaded this painting before……… it was the first painting I sold.

I did it with a feather and iridescent paint,

Well here I am at day 41 of my sugar free life. I am restless………. I have a great desire to “take a trip” and keep thinking Elliot Lake would be nice, reflective and cheaper than most places. However a good friend tells me my Jeep may not like a 250 mile trip.

Maybe next week I will take just a short two day excursion somewhere.

I am doing the “waiting to be inspired” thing with my art right now……… wanting to get back to the paper collages and see where it takes me. I know if I just start and not worry about where its going I will be ok… it’s just getting started that’s the kicker.

A 5 year celebration for my friend last night and I felt very connected to folks. It was a great night and reminds me to get to more meetings and get connected – as opposed to staying alone.

It’s a struggle for me at times ………. I like the solitary life. Just wish I was on a lake somewhere.

Well ya can’t win without a ticket so tonight I am gettin a ticket.

Change the way you look at things

Posted on July 15, 2009 by emerald

today I had a great day………. I walked this morning and did this collage this afternoon.
the best part was going to the spirit cafe’ tonight.
spiritual nourishment was the topic of discussion this evening and it is so healing to be in a room of like minded folks.

Busy times this month and still I must stay in today……..31 days sugar free and counting!! Perhaps I need to not count the days and just do the “one day at a time” thing, which is really how I am doing it anyway. Asking the Creator each day for the gift of this new way of being.

And like Wayne Dyer says……… when you change the way you look at things – the things you look at change.

Paper Collage and other rambleings

Posted on July 12, 2009 by emerald

Well I am unsure of how to photograph this piece………. It sure does not look anything like it does in person.

The center has Desiderata written in a circle.

There is an art show next weekend and I am pretty sure I am going to go in it and put this piece in.

And……… day 28 sugar free for me. This whole business of feeling like I am new in recovery is amazing.

I know that if I continue to do the writing and the meetings online ; and going to Orillia when I can to a face to face meeting, I will continue on this same path.

Walking really needs to continue. I had been walking 3 times a week for two weeks then it rained for a week which plays havoc with my Fibromyalgia, so my goal this week is to walk at least 2 times. Keep moving, into the lightness of being ( for those who are into the light !!)

Listened to CHANGE YOUR THOUGHTS CHANGE YOUR LIFE ; Living the Wisdom of the Tao) today and the first verse of the Tao te Ching…….(which means the book of “the way” … the lesson is around “allowing” it’s about honouring the Great Mystery ( that some call God) and about letting go and letting God.

All of this sounds very familiar to me………..Wayne suggests One lesson a day. So I will add this to my daily’s.

Zentangles

Posted on June 21, 2008 by emerald

These doodles are called Zentangles

and it seems for two months (since last post) these where the only cards I did until this past week. Sometime today I will scan my latest and upload.

“Life is what happens when we are making other plans”

One wonders though how almost two months of the “non-creative self” can emerge; and hang on until it/she pulls out of that space.

I am inspired by a small show that is happening and perhaps the sale of the cards I have will inspire me even more.

Summer seems such a busy time; trips here and there, a wedding, a visitor or two.

Energy and the Cosmos

Posted on December 19, 2006 by emerald

So my painting called Unframed Energy above left………….and the giant spiral galaxy on the right
have similar movement.(this photo is from November/December issue of Skynews.

Van Gough’s “Starry Night” (I will have to find a copy of it.) has the same movement……….I have never looked through a telescope to see this sight in the heavens……………..
the spiral is a natural movement.

the Change Sold it!

Posted on December 1, 2006 by emerald

this is after I added the trees…………………………to this abstract

Athough the woman that purchased this picture liked it before – once she saw it with trees it was sold.

The lessens for me?
1) patience
2) listen to my teacher!!! ………………do the water line! (thanks Terry)
3) absract can be changed.
