Does anything  suit your fancy in my shop?   - see over to right hand side -------------->

I have recently joined my own imaginary international energy exchange program where you can talk to me about a price that comes into your head and feels true and then I will communicate back to you about whether it feels right to me.

This way of doing business is based on the law of equal energy exchange. {E E E }

Somehow in my mind everything {energy}  balances out.

all art is priceless. A L L ART no matter who does it when, where and how.

MARKET VALUE is the amount anyone is willing to pay for a piece of art.

addendum:  Hear say that 'serious' artists spend more time than 'random acts of art' artists usually on painting.  IT is a type of commitment to the process of being an artist.  Does this aggregate in karmic points of energy on the scale of more worth?  That's a good question.

I have to become empty and DO do do

which do you like better?  the goat with or without the white animal bears?
trying too hard can be the death of art.  on which thing was i trying too hard?  can you tell?

In the land of paint and not the land of marketing and selling is a different place to be in, where magic happens.

Sew what?

New sewing machine refurbed at the ready!, a photo by tobin eckian on Flickr.

I had 2 sewing machines. I thought I 'must' use them in my work to make something for my etsy shop and CHameleon gallery. This one is a Christmas present. How could I not incorporate it into my Work??

Today I put the sewing machine somewhat away from the painting table at the farm. Working on a vest from a too big sweatshirt.

The machine in the Town I will use to make a rug from my boys old blue jeans. And then, some nice skirts for me that I have figured out the design for using an old tshirt for the hip part and ruffles made by pulling two bask thread lines.

when i remove all the things i was doing to distract from the feeling of uncomfortable of making more paintings, possibly, seemingly meaningless, even tho i KNOW that everything leads to everything...

then i stop making little messes and go back to the canvas with my sketches and begin AGAIN!

I made this year's holiday card on the fly without realizing I was doing that.

"may your Spirit be bright" during this Holiday Season.

For a New Beginning

In out-of-the-way places of the heart,
Where your thoughts never think to wander,
This beginning has been quietly forming,
Waiting until you were ready to emerge.

For a long time it has watched your desire,
Feeling the emptiness growing inside you,
Noticing how you willed yourself on,
Still unable to leave what you had outgrown.

It watched you play with the seduction of safety
And the gray promises that sameness whispered,
Heard the waves of turmoil rise and relent,
Wondered would you always live like this.

Then the delight, when your courage kindled,
And out you stepped onto new ground,
Your eyes young again with energy and dream,
A path of plenitude opening before you.

Though your destination is not yet clear
You can trust the promise of this opening;
Unfurl yourself into the grace of beginning
That is at one with your life's desire.

Awaken your spirit to adventure;
Hold nothing back, learn to find ease in risk;
Soon you will be home in a new rhythm,
For your soul senses the world that awaits you.
