A Deep Breath and a Leap

All the really exciting things possible during the course of a lifetime require a little more courage than we currently have. A deep breath and a leap.

- John Patrick Shanley, American Playwright

This Art Journey & Life Adventure is living up to it's namesake. These last two months in Texas have felt like lifetimes - full of love, loss and discoveries. This Sunday I head out on an unexpected trip to the Southwest...

Painting and drawing has been a great source of strength and joy during this time - I hope the works themselves carry the same spirit to you. 

Scroll down for a look at unfinished paintings in the making.

For the first time I intentionally embarked on a series - a family of paintings created at the same time with a harmonized theme: imaginative landscapes.

Stubborn paintings that won't conform to my preconceptions I call "problem children". Thankfully, all six of this series were problem children. 😉

These gems guided me layer by layer as to what they wanted to become - teaching me many life lessons along the way.

Sunday I ride to the desert. 🌵 Here's my farewell to New Braunfels, TX:

 

Here's to big leaps.

A woman literally told me today she was replacing a GEORGIA O'KEEFE image in her home with one of mine. #lovelanguage Cool shot by a kind stranger signing some artwork. .

It's been observed that the majority of my moons are on the right side. Two new works in progress (chalk and acrylic on mixed media canvas surfaces) case in point. Interpret and analyze away! (Please tell me what this means? :)

This little lady got a drawing of herself! .
Commissioned illustrations are so fun. It's special to capture the essence of a person and create a little (JOYful) character inspired by them. Something to always remember and hold on to (I hope) ❤

Joy gives us wings! In times of joy our strength is more vital, our intellect keener, and our understanding less clouded. We seem better able to cope with the world and to find our sphere of usefulness. - Abdu'l-Bahá
