2014 – Another year rocketed by. Fast? To me, yeah. Depends on your point of view.
I feel very off the leash of time in the studio, particularly painting – there is a rhythmic timelessness that flows in the work. The surety of color selection and palette set up; allowing brushstrokes and color to flow finding the sure path. And yet, is mystery. I knew none of this 30 years ago.
Yes, I get hungry. Yes, it gets cold. Yes, the light gets dim. Those conditions are featured in ordinary reality. Creation and the channeling of ideas happen outside of time. I paint, harvesting images making them sit and stay, in the field of time.
It feels good to trust your skills. Honed through thousands of hours of practice. Hundreds of fine brushes worn to stubs, still finding a last purpose before they are useless.
Here is the 5th finished painting in the chakra series. I’ve decided to make 8 all together. The 8th is outside the field of time feeding us, and feeding itself looping marvelously luminous creation.
Shine on everything. Every. Thing.
