Do you ever just sit?
...still & silent
or lay on the floor with your feet crossed ....
to think, and ponder?
clothing optional?? :-D This over 40 body definately says, hmmm!
On a gorgeous spring afternoon here, the weather couldn't be better: sunny and warm, with a beautiful cool breeze. After some art time, I think I'm heading for a cuppa and a quiet sit and read, and Be Still... how about you?
I am away for a weeks Mother & Daughter Holiday - a whole week in Melbourne!! Depending on technology issues, I may (or may not) have posts this coming week... we plan on walking all around the arty farty, chic, hidden secrets of Melbourne arcades, and back streets; a week of coffee, chocolate, food, art and fashion... and hopefully some travel sketching too!
My first online interview - read it here at Red Parka... I think I waaaaaay need another bio pic, but otherwise this was cool. Made me think about what to write, why I do art, how I do art, etc etc.
Love your comments!
Love the idea of bringing figure drawing in to your mixed media work. These are great. Not enough time to be still for me, lately which might have inspired my piece this week as you will see..
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie - thanks! I agree, we need to take time out to just 'Be'...
Deletecheers,
Lin
I am jealous of you in Melbourne... isn't it a great city... hope you have a great time and come home bursting with inspiration... xx
ReplyDeleteHi Tracey - hehe Melbourne is going to be so. much. fun. Although I am unsure about the weather - 27 one day down to 16?? what to pack? Lets hope the inspiration flows along with the cappuccinos!
DeleteNice mixed media pieces!
ReplyDeleteI don't know what happened, I used to meditate every day, now I never seem to have the time - I miss it and I know I have to get back to it!
Congratulations on the interview! HPPF!
