a matter of movement




isn't it funny how people resist change?

and yet...
it is the only
CONSTANT 
in our lives

I understand it and I have resisted 
certain changes as well..
but the older I get.. the more I am convinced
that real wisdom is learning to embrace 
change as quickly as we possible can...






cradled panel wip on my easel...



this was on my mind gentle readers 
as I have been making changes with my work...
and have been feeling it coming for such a long time...

to keep doing the same things over and over again
would be for me anyway

a prison of my own making...

I have known artists who became stuck 
creating the same works over and over because their audience
dictated their creativity...

and that would be the last thing 
I would want..
it has always been my goal to change
mediums and pursue whatever interests me
and suck it dry
until I feel that I have 
taken it all in...

and explored it
devotedly...





adding text to the wip above ... transfer on canson watercolor paper, with acrylics and nupastels



my new work is still about relationships..
about movement..
and changes..
the water studies are ever so challenging..

adding text
and finding that letters swim so well..
was a joy...

I finished my grey water studies
and I will have those for you
next week and hopefully the wips above will be done
as well..

my wish for you is that all your changes
will be exciting and invigorating...
and you embrace them fully...

resistance is futile you know...
