Creative Musings

Over the past few years I have been diving deeper into understanding my true nature. Through a serious of approaches including yoga, meditation, keeping a journal, astrology etc I have come to the conclusion honoring my creative side is an important aspect of who I am and contributes to my sense of well being!!!

Interestingly I believe I have some emotional baggage in this area of my life based on "messages" delivered by others over the years related to my creative nature-probably starting at a very young age. In 2014 I am not sure my self view is legitimate and up to a few years ago I had left the whole aspect unexamined but now in retrospect I believe not moving forward with examining my creative side has left a bit of a gap that needs to be closed.

I created an acrylic painting at my parents last Saturday. It is now framed and hung in our dinning room. My wife said it is a bold painting colour wise with some interesting mark making...I will take that as a compliment.

My mother didn't feel well so she sat in her chair and watched me paint. She let me go and supplied me with tubes of paint as I requested them. I felt very comfortable in the environment. It was a pleasant afternoon all round. At one point I sat on the floor and looked up at the painting as I applied the layers of colour.  This is the picture I used as a reference....the photograph of the actual painting is not accessible right now. I will add later....
