Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween!  

Kids with mixed media.....they really LOVE it!  The first picture is a 6x6 canvas board done by a 13 year old. It was so fun to see no expectations, no limitations....just exploring with color, drips, doodles, spray ink and a lastly a paintbrush.



This next one is done by a 9 year old.  Simple....and he didn't spend too much time on it but was satisfied with the final look.  It reminded me that one doesn't have to spend a lot of time layering the paint.  If it's done... it's done.



It's October 31st and since my last post I have been wondering...what's my next step in manifesting artful expressions in my daily life?  This mantra, Break Open to Love is staying with me.  There lingers a longing and a question... so it begs some artful exploration.  I think there is an  alchemical process that takes place when combining Self-Healing with Radical Acceptance that breaks us open to Love.  And I have an idea that they both can be found in the color wheel.  I can't remember who said 'Color is the Soul of Nature' and 'Color is the Substance of the Human Soul' but I'm thinking that nature and color offer something of a healing quality to our soul.  So I'd like to explore it further through the color wheel.  For the next several months I will take a color a week and research its soul relationship to the world we live in as an exploration into Breaking Open to Love.
