In the pictures I just posted today, you'll see photographs of three paintings I recently completed.  The first one to rise from nothingness was the Peaceful Mountain, then Honoring the Day, then the Cosmic Heart.  The first time I unwrapped a canvas, broke the seal on a new tube of paint and dipped my paintbrush into the water, I felt frozen.  I had been in this state for quite a while; years upon years have gone by without me so much as touching an artists brush.  Finally, with one stroke of blue, I ended that long period of time when my fears kept me imprisoned in my own cell, unable to express myself artistically or otherwise.

By opening up that tube of paint and boldly initiating a stroke on blank canvas, I began what has become for me a new time in my life.  Finally, I have been freed from the ridiculous fears that have kept me from expressing myself fully for so long. 

As I thought about what I would paint, I waited for an image to come to my mind.  Nature draws me in like nothing else, and so I allowed myself the freedom to paint lanscapes which give me a feeling of peacefulness.  The fact that I was painting also awakened in me a desire to be uninhibited and to be carefree in the use of color and shape.  That was when the heart emerged and I remembered Diana Cooper's CD in which a song about the cosmic heart and the gold, silver and violet flame started replaying almost begging to be painted.

I think the angels are leading me toward my next steps and even though sometimes I still wonder what that future will look like, I know that I'm on the right path and my heart is overflowing with joy at being able to see and create art that will hopefully inspire others to pick up their favorite medium and begin creating expressions of love, peace and healing.

all my love
