The Fear of Being Hidden Began to Fade

"The Fear of Being Hidden Began to Fade" - mixed media on paper, 22" x 15".  Ready to frame.  Available here and at Artfinder.

Unplugging can be highly productive.

Earlier this week, Comcast crashed in our area and we spent the day without internet.  So the house of minions decided to tackle some long overdue projects, including a huge studio purge and cleaning.  The minions were RUTHLESS I tell you - and the trash man none too happy.  But the results are spectacular and the studio is pristine (for a minute, anyway).

Thanks to a brilliant suggestion by artist Carol Edan, I started taking an online course from Jeanneoliver.com to make my time here at healing central more purposeful.  This course, taught by Irish artist Pauline Agnew, is getting me ready for fall and figure drawing. 

It's a double treat - art lessons AND the sound of a lilting Irish accent.  Now if I only had Winegums and Jaffa Cakes and Wagon Wheels.  Life would be nearly perfect.

​Now, for the rest of the art heroes out there in the world, you are just a few days away from 30 Paintings in 30 Days.  Although I am sidelined this time around, I know each and every one of you is ready to do this.  Paint something every day, no matter what, no matter how small.  And post it.  It's good for you and it is good for the world. :)

ooooh Dotty! A ruthless purge is just what the (tidy) doctor ordered. Once it is done, I feel a weight lifted and creative mojo flowing freely. :)

Whenever I tidy my long table, which is my studio, I always feel much better! Some think that tidying etc is procrastination, not so, tidy the table clears my head! So glad you are enjoying the course, I also love just listening.....music! Looks like your fellow is turning a new leaf? No better time than now....!

Ha ha! Maybe it is procrastination when we tidy...but I tend to think of it as preparing the space for best muse conjuring. Almost ceremonial. Without a tidy space, I get gunked up and don't flow as easily.

Here's the blue wild, where
tiny dreamers ride beasts, speak
​ birdsong, hold the moon.
