Rest

If we can shed all that we are not, if we can surrender into simply being what we are, we can start shining from within - beaming out the unique light we were created to shine in this life. It is in our distraction with what others are doing, in the distraction of the noise around us, that we forget our uniqueness, that we forget to be in full acceptance of what we are.

I am now at the stage where the work will rest for a week or so. Sometimes I know the painting is not done yet, although it seems to me that it is done. So I take photos of the work like this one taken in my backyard and then I hide the painting for a few days.

I know when I look at it again, my perspective will be fresh, and I will know what it needs to complete the work.

In the meantime I am working on a few 'freedance' works : ) Painting without references, I simply paint whatever comes up -
