Progress is slow

It's been a labor of love and I have been pleased with the results but it continues to call for more. It's this same thing I posted about recently, knowing when to call it done. A painting knows, but does the painter?

I recently attended a three day Mandala painting workshop in Laguna California learned more about color energy and listening to my heart and leaving my mind out of it. The mind can be torturous if you allow it to be, the heart will always tell you the truth.

This piece started with the center blue, I mixed it in an unfamiliar studio with new paints and colors that I haven't used before. I was not initially happy with the color, but the instructor told me to follow the color and not question it. So I covered the canvas with it and continued. It mixed into a gorgeous array of blues for the inner spheres. That was day 1, in my dream that night I dreamt that the outer lotus was purple and when I arrived to the class the next morning, the instructor said "that's it, go with purple and don't think about it again." The outcome, in my opinion, is beautiful...and it really did all come from my heart.

So, how then do I bring this wisdom into my current and future works? This will be a fun new aspect to bring into my studio.

    All of my life, from my earliest memories as I child, I have felt as though I view the world through some sort of magical frame. To this day I carry that feeling, as though I can look anywhere and see beauty, see nature and objects sparking. Even in a garbage-strewn alley, I can see the poetry of the place, as a breathing image right there on the lenses of my eyes.
