I'm also reminded that i created this corner of art space in my bedroom mine months ago in prepration for Robin moving in with us. i dont use it often because everything feels so cramped. My house hasnt felt like mine in months because its cluttered theres no free "real" space. I am reminded that we dont have to have much space to create.
My intent has been to paint ever since I returned from training but one thing led to another and it has not come. Friday was different. i took the covers off of me, put on an old shirt which will be my painting shirt, and gathered supplies from my art corner. I went to the kitchen and grabbed a plastic spoon and fork (my drawing class and ea training taught me that you can use ordinary objects to draw and paint.). I pressed play on pandora and begain to paint. Before I knew it..I painted 8 paintings (I have never painting that much). It felt great..liberating, freeing. I was in such a zone. The paintings werent anything specific but just feeling my brush across the canvas, feeling myself in the painting, just being present was amazing!!! Something my director d asked us is to talk to ur paintings..see what it needs. i looked and felt nothing was needed and moved on. Funny thing about this impromtu painting session is I had no blank canvas. I actually painting over old paintings. There wasnt a question of whether i should but just a purposeful intent to paint. The below is the result of such a wonderful day.
The paintings are displayed from the last item i painted to the first one:
