2011 A story of love

As I paint and grow it becomes increasingly clear to me that my works come from beyond me. Taking a new turn in my life, I decided to stop "trying" to create and simply be. These paintings are an example of allowing myself to completely trust my blessings and create for the love of it. To turn off my mind and turn inside and feel what god is trying to tell me in a way. Becoming the conduit not the conductor. I absolutely love the way the colors form! Enjoying every brush-stroke and doing it for the love of it. I don’t really do anything, I just stand there in front of the easel and enjoy myself; I don’t know what it’s gonna look like. I’m excited to see what comes out myself. I’m so excited, that when it starts coalescing – coming together – and I can see the majority of it… well…then it’s just fine-tuning and I immediately start a new one. And then I watch that one unfold, and when I see it near-finished, and it just needs fine-tuning as well, then I chill out and catch up with myself. They finish themselves off.
