Creating

I find that an idea will creep in and I am torn as to what painting to start on next...so I just  go with my feeling as to the size, and I get everything set up to begin and then I go into a time of silence, where I allow myself to go within...to be led or guided as to the subject... and then I begin.

At times I have thought I was going to do a certain subject and all of a sudden it is apparent that I am being led into painting something totally different.  So now in my quiet I invite my guides, my angels and all who are for my highest and for the highest of all to come in and help me in my capturing or zeroing in on exactly what it is that I am needed to convey.

It used to be when I painted, (this is years ago), that I struggled to get a painting right....but now I know that when I turn things over to spirit, and to my higher self that the painting will just happen.  So upon learning that, my paintings are more of a flow...so they are now all Spirit led... it feels really different.
It feels so relaxing, and to very powerful.

Also I was directed that each thing I painting...not each painting but each leaf, each animal each cloud, had a message for me, and so I was told to listen and I would hear the message. So I jot down what comes to me and then I condense it into an overall or a word, a few lines...so these messages are available because they are for the viewer... I am planning on starting a page that will list all the messages for each of the paintings...

Finding Peace Amongst the Chasos

Finding Peace Amongst the Chaos

Do you feel like you are on a treadmill? You are going through all the actions, thinking of a zillion things at once, trying to get all the things accomplished that you need to…and not getting half of it done…

Let’s start now at achieving that what we must do in a manner that will remove our stress, lighten our load, and help us become clear about what we really need to accomplish, and then to do it.

I have found for me, that I need to practice Mindfulness and what I mean by that is that everything I am doing I am mindful of it. If I am sitting and my cat come along and rubs against my leg, I concentrate on it and feel what that is like and how his tale wraps and hugs my leg, and then moves away…if I am peeling the potatoes, I concentrate on just peeling the potatoes…how long are the pieces that I peel, how many times do I do the down stroke with the peeler, how does the skin on my hand feel as opposed to the peeled portion of the potato, is the potato narrow, fat, long, short? Everything I am doing is being mindful of each thing. Even in visiting with someone, am I listening, really listening to them or am I anxious for them to stop so that I can talk?

In doing this, we are not bombarding ourselves a list of all the things you need to do, you are solely thinking of that which you are doing at this moment. So in this we are living in the now, in this very second of time, we are removing a huge weight from our shoulders, we have uncluttered our thinking, we are not rushing through the chore thinking of the next one. We are being one with that one thing we are doing in this moment…it is about respecting what we are doing, it is being reverent, it is honouring of ourselves by freeing our mind and our body from tension, rush, worry.

You will be amazed at how your time is freed up, that you can accomplish far more, that your thinking is clear, and that you do not feel stressed out. With each meeting, each appointment, each sale…with each task you need to deal with, just simply breathe in and then breathe out and be mindful, just do that right this moment and feel the stress and tension leave, feel your shoulders drop, and be in this moment. Have fun living a mindful life. I am Loving you

Variety and Direction in Painting

There is mixed thought on whether you should find one style and one kind of subject be it portrait, seascape, abstract, landscape, animals, or what ever and then stick with it...I am inclined to think that it must be what you as an individual is moved or directed to do.

Flow....when we flow, when we allow, we will be open to evolving in ways we never thought were possible. In flowing you will paint what is needed by yourself for you to keep, or needed by you to experience the subject, or needed by someone else for their growth and experience.

I am one who does quite the mixture of painting, and it is what I am directed to do, that happens or takes place.. One night I wanted to paint something with bamboo, and I painted the background color and I was visualizing soft colors, tranquilty and I closed my eyes and said, okay now please allow me to do what I am to do.  Well that was definately the end of bamboo.  Out came all the bright colors and into a beautiful abstact painting, which by the way sold almost immediately. 

Some of my paintings are very much realism, defined and precise, and are more in nature pictures, ie. animals, birds, some scenery, but the next could be an abstract with no real subject...more about color or lines or or.

I believe one needs to enjoy, and feel...allow your godself your soul to come forth and express.  If we are trying to make something happen, it doesn't seem to flow the same, no matter what style we use.  Just allow the communication from within to flow...in doing this, the colors are perfect, the brush is right, the texture and light happens.  It all just comes together exactly as it should as it is meant, it is all in perfect order, without any stress, without wondering if you will be able to paint this subject correctly.

So never try...that is automatic failure...Simply 'BE' in all your glory and 'ALLOW'  and watch what happens.  This is titled "Rainbow Waterfall"

A Leap of Faith

A Leap of Faith

Today I completed the painting above, it represents pristine waters, clean air, beauty, movement, new growth  (plants), sustenance, life, playing or frolicking, earth, communication, faith, belief, intent, and  manifestation.  The Dolphins are highly evolved, extremely intelligent, they are our brothers and sisters.  What is it that you see through this painting...what communications are you receiving?  How does this painting affect you, your thinking, your growth, your state of peace or tranquility...

Blue represents the throat Chakra, which is our voice, speaking our truth...please share yours.

Loving you all...

The passing of the old year and the Beginning of the New

I do not do New Year's Resolutions, nor do I recommend them for others.  I find they set us up to fail. To make a list of what I am not going to do or what I am going to do, seems to me to be just the opposite. We people don't want to "have to" and its like climbing into another 'rules box'.  I really dislike failing especially planning it all out. Also it seems when we haven't done what we set out to do, that we take on the whole guilt thing...well lets just forget all that and move forward. So for me I spend Dec. 31st. quietly reflecting over the past year. All of its "Joys" and all of the things that have not been so joyful, but which I feel have led me to here, right now. To everything which has helped me become who I am, and to all who I share my life with...that means you. For you have enriched my life, you touch my life and contribute to who I am. Thank you.  I think about where I may have veered from my path or where I chose a new path, and how that all feels and where it is leading me.
Tomorrow evening Dec. 31st is an evening of healing for me.  I let go of all I can that is not serving me and my growth.  I create space by letting go, by releasing, by forgiving, which allows for new growth, new ideas, new awarenesses, new visions, new wonders.  How awesome can that be?
As the clock strikes 12:00 I watch the old year fall away, and I take that brand new step forward into the brand New Year ahead.  I take this step, just one step at a time into this newness filled with abundant expectancy...no expectations...just openess, willingness, wonder and awe.

Happy New Year!  I Love you!  I Honor You! Namaste

The Phoenix

So many of us are experiencing change, are experiencing the end of something in our lives and the beginning of something new.  Before we are ready for a change it feels so often like we are being brought down to our lowest, it feels tough and it puts us in the place of needing to take good hard look at ourselves, going within and seeing what we truly want and need.  We must reach the place where we are able to leap, to jump into the void, to surrender to change, to let go of things no longer serve us...it means the death of old ideas and concepts.  It means being right here now, willing to begin again, ready for a new start, a rebirth. 
This is what the bird, the Phoenix represents the completion of the old through fire, and its rebirth, new vitality, new awarenesses, new starts, new life.
As we are going through these changes, alterations, and rebirth, meditate on the Phoenix, and see yourself leaving the old behind and "Arising from the Depths" into this new and glorious you.

Blessings of Joy




Blessings of Joy, Harmony, Peace, Divine Perfect Health, Love, Light,  Laughter,  and Abundance in all be yours during the holidays and throughout the New Year of 2011.  As we near the beginning of a New Year, let us reflect on this year of 2010 and become consciously aware of where we need and want to place our  intention in the creating of this ‘our’ new year a “New Beginning”. Keeping in mind that ‘We’ are deserving, special, magnificent, incredible,
beautiful, giving, loving, kind, creative, worthwhile, capable, and strong Spirits.  That we keep open and ready to move into whatever is our ‘calling’ our ‘role’  our  ‘new path” as we continue our travels along on our physical journey.
Let us be more consciously aware of each other and our oneness in everyway.  Shine’ your light as never before, let your light shine so bright that it awakens others to join with you in creating change.
I am in Gratitude for you in my life and I am sending you Light and huge Love.
