| FEARLESS Painting In Progress. Acrylic on Vellum Bristol. 35" x 23". |
Here is my most recent
FEARLESS Painting....it's still a work in progress....unfinished.
What I'm enjoying about this painting is that I'm really listening to it--
really taking my time--
being present with it completely.
Partially because I have to work in chunks of time while Phoenix is sleeping or being cool with snuggling in close.
But I feel really present in this painting---and I started it by asking it a question...and it's been so surprising and fun to see how it's answering.
I tell you---something has really struck a flame inside me---I have so many ideas--so much I suddenly want to express again. I would have never imagined that this would be a by-product of becoming a Mommy!
Though, the beauty of it is that pre-Phoenix if I felt this way--I would have gone off in sky rockets---would have gone on overdrive.
Maybe it's the lack of sleep--or lack of time--but I feel more focused and grounded when I come to the studio. When I pick up the brush.
Funny how life evolves for us--gives us just the medicine we need.
Just as a little reminder....BIG goes on sale this Monday, June 4th!!! This will be my 11th Tribe and I can't wait to paint FEARLESS with a new group of amazing women!!
Maybe one of those women will be you?!?!

Good golly molly Mrs. Mommy.
My stomach did a little leap while reading this.
Yes, and yes, and ....I need to get to AZ.
Motherhood has a way of pushing you into the center, drawing boundaries for you that force a slowing down. Enjoy it.
I have found as I've gotten older and the children have gotten busier thus I have gotten busier and out and about with them, I have to practice that centeredness, that grounding, go into it intentionally.
Absolutely amazing!
Fabulous! I am in love with the way you are blending the colors the blues in the swirls just sing to me!
