This has repeatedly been a challenge for me in my spiritual training….how to detach from things or persons we love…for some reason in my professional life…this has never been a problem…as a registered nurse…I could work a 12 hour shift…often times through lunch breaks…managing crisis after crisis…being totally in every life saving moment…then walk away without blinking an eye…why in our personal relationships do people get so crazy…I am seeing a huge shift in myself…attempting to detach from everything…more in touch with myself…relationships…friendships…etc. Hold on to nothing and you will have everything. Why do I think this may be my best work ever…truly created from within…the art of conscious creation. (triptych 10×30 oil on linen canvas)

Feel The Burn

Here Comes The Night
18Aug08
Originally envisioned this as a Paris street…it could be Santa Fe…kind of an adobe feel. Both places I would like to visit and spend time soaking in the art scene. Today something magical happened…received an unexpected abundant sum of money in the mail. Gearing up for the South End Art Hop in Burlington…lots to do this week to prepare for this show. I am also in the process of writing a huge grant. Somedays I wish I had a personal assistant…why not put that out to the universe. (5×7 oil on canvas)
Doodletime
13Aug08
Almost bagged doing something creative in the painting arena…felt I was jipping myself…for a number of reasons…commitment…meditation…creative expansion…bucked up and did some watercolor doodle. Instantly catapulted to a higher mood…continued on to prime some canvases (these are for my bathroom). How to stay present when kids drive you bonkers…first I guess surrender to the bonkerness…yes Callan can count by 10’s….vital to give him conscious attention at home… the beautiful insecurity…a few vital moments of mother and son time…voila…he can count by 10’s. (4×6 watercolor)
To Be
04Aug08
Relationships on my mind…the relationship with others…relationship with self…relationship with power…money…love…the universe….this sketch…the outcome…since then I have replicated it to send out positive loving thoughts on cards…notes…letters…here it is to share on my blog…this particular sketch is on my fridge to remind me to forgive…to be silent. (sketch from journal)
Red Tower
31Jul08
I worked on Eiffel Tower Exposed today…that one always sells at shows…want to have another one ready to go. The red in this painting depicts emotion…heating up…nearing explosion. I posted this one because it is hanging in my gallery…and seemed to fit my mood yesterday…not today….I am light and happy. Sucess becomes success…what for…artist becomes artist…what for…you need more and more…what for…thoughts become things…sitting here allowing this me to be here…no more drama she says to the ego…the celebration of space between thoughts…things are happening fast for me…can feel the universe testing…gratitude love and compassion to all…OK…so I am putting out there…a new experience with loving people…the ones who have my back…I love you…thank-you. (6×8 oil on canvas)
Weeds By The River 03
02Jul08
“The first draft of anything is shit.” - Ernest Hemingway How apropos for my work. Sorry for the weed stint…very easy for me to do first thing in the morning…be present fully in my work…mornings provide a natural state of calmness…everything is still…quiet…kids busy with activity…get rid of all the bling…set intentions for the day. Finding it easier to manifest things these days…positive sign from the universe. (oil pastel)
Weeds By The River 02
01Jul08
A sort of break from my usual…color work is refreshing…scribbling…more cathartic! Today need to decide what to donate to art auction to raise money for local Montgomery student for educational trip to Europe. I want to go. Maybe I will do something with these weeds…I could frame four of them and give as a set! (oil pastel on paper)
Weeds By The River
30Jun08
My morning sketch…relaxed in my astute way…sipping coffee…kids playing on the trampoline in the background…this is how I disappear…away from the world of thoughts in my head…senses fail me…scribbling away…the prettiest weeds I ever did see…dreaming again by the river…like I always do…you just never know…just moments…amusing and (8×10 oil pastel)
Abstract Nude 01
21May08I am in the process of completing six large abstract nudes on 18×24 cream color fine drawing paper. Lately my interest in golf has captured a majority of my attention…totally loving the leisure tour…taking my 7 iron with me to Burlington…thinking I will stop on the way home and hit some balls. Just […]
Fifth Dimension 07
14Mar08
Friday…ahhhh! I am still in this fifth dimension state of mind…rewiring myself to emit love and compassion from my heart chakra…it is fricking hard…as little annoyances pop up in my mind…and instantly I am festering…thoughts of why I am annoyed…jealous neighbor…images of ex boyfriend…war veterans describing horrific experiences on tv…secret congressional meetings…hilary…telemarketers…why don’t i have more money…why can’t my second grader get 9 + 7 = 16…ok stop…no more negativity. Need to spend some time sending love to all my little nuances…in hopes when they pop up again in my mind…they will become less and less volatile. OOh la la…my imperfections…dramas…struggles. What is the value of pain and struggle…am I flunking earth school…struggling to pass my lessons…ok christine keep telling yourself to shift reality through compassion and love…come on…I am an intellectual and emotional being…I can figure this out…imagining 1000 electromagnetic magnets of happiness…universal law…like attracts like…the giddy tides are a changing…could be a celebratory day for Friday happy hour magaritas…free from the struggles…someone give hilary a tequila shot…(7×7 oil pastel)
