Moving Forward
Hi everyone...I've missed you! Seems that my comment, "back in a couple of days..." from my last post in September...turned into three plus weeks. I guess I just needed more time away than I thought after the move and other events that have transpired this past year.
The new studio is finally set to go now...so I've taken this past week as a "sequester" week to get back on the creative track. Finally picked up a paintbrush after many weeks and the above painting is what I came up with. During this time of transition...I have needed to call upon and rely on an inner strength of spirit and a peaceful mind. That's what I wanted to convey in this new work.
Hope you're all doing well. Have a beautiful Fall weekend out there! xox
"This we can all bear witness to, living as we do plagued by unremitting anxiety. It becomes more and more imperative that the life of the spirit be avowed as the only firm basis upon which to establish happiness and peace." ~ Dalai Lama

Stunning Painting.... I too am looking for my inner spirit as it seems to have disappeared when I had my surgery.... getting myself motivated has been difficult to say the least...
I hope I find it soon... I need to get moving
HUGS
AND SLOPPY KISSES FOR YOU AND MAISE FROM PJ

I love this! The first thing I thought of when I saw it was how perfect a talisman it was for these turbulent times. I too have fallen by the blogging wayside for various reasons... but am realizing that it's okay. We all need to do what's best for our souls -- and you certainly need to take care of yours!
Glad you're back -- and glad you're having the creative outlet you so enjoy!
Keep the positive energy flowing -- I think that if we all focus on that, we can get through anything...
Love to Maise too!
Nice to have you back Linda! I am happy to hear that you are all settled in and back to work...I love your new painting.
This image is beautiful. The colors so vibrant...
