Freedom lies in being bold.... yes.
Keeping my mouth shut, well what does that achieve ?
Not much.
Painting helps the mind stay focused, and allows for some stress dumping. Well....sometimes!!
New-ish painting, from last month anyhow.
Titled 'You never know what is around the corner'
Fairly self explanatory .... you never know!!
Sometimes we are just walking along through life, not knowing where we are heading... having an idea, a goal. Heading in a general direction is something.
We all do that.
We cant help but do that.
To do something truly extraordinary involves getting off the track , experiencing other things, trying other things.
You only fail by not trying...

Then there are the other things that happen. The path ahead that isnt by choice.
The path that has our loved ones suffering, the inevitabilities of life I guess.
We all know that terrible things happen, but to other people.
Things that  are no ones fault, accidents, illnesses and the like.
I much prefer my dream world. I am a dreamer.No one harms me there.
No one is harming me now, but life itself.
I detest the truth in the saying "What doesn't kill us makes us stronger" I don't want to be strong. I just want things the way I want them.
I cant... I know that. That is life.
It is all Just life.

Another day...another drama...........

Well...
A day of little painting and much wrangling with bureaucracy.
A little achieved .


Framed a finished painting...photo to come.
I prepared one  background and started another.
Painted some background details.... necessary, uneventful and needed.....


So many ideas swimming through my mind... I need to sell paintings, lots of them.
Actually I really need to sell anywhere between $5000 and $12500 before the end of October....
Any suggestions?
Raffle? Busk ? Beg????


Exasperated!
But inspiring times... sketched an idea for a painting 'Back to the wall' is the title... shall share its progress if it progresses.

'Miss Kitty and her dependant friend'
30 x 45 cm
Acrylic on paper

And she blogs again....

Yes.... day one of the new and improved blog.
It is too late, I am going to bed... I have been painting tonight, and I shall tell all tomorrow!

Goodnight all.
