Strange day sitting in Burlington in the new age spiritual shop reading books. Expanding my consciousness. Awakening…kundalini…energy…transformation…was supposed to be working on this grant..got totally engrossed in the silence of my space and joy it was bringing me. I bought a second copy of Eckhart Tolle “A New Earth”. He is my guru for the time…I lent my original copy to a friend…and well she needs it as much as me…and the library book I have is way overdue. My observations for the day…energy…the lower frequency…they say a person of higher frequency can raise the level of frequency of a person with a lower frequency…imagine there is a time period in relation to this. I will post painting in the am light. Peace on Earth

Higher Awareness
21Aug08
A state of presence…if there is unconsciousness within you…don’t even mistake yourself or another person for that…like a foreign body taking over…creating negativity to feed off…a continuous process of surrender. I am attending an Obama barbecue hosted by VT Senator Bernine Sanders tonight…maybe pick his brain for my grant. (6×12 oil on linen canvas)
Feel The Burn
19Aug08
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)
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)
Delicate In Scale
15Aug08
So what if I did an entire series of abstract bodies in this color scheme? I am on a mission…make atleast one home improvement per day…today it was new curtains for the living room. Now I have a mix and match style of gold and lace curtains…kind of funky…each window with a unique treatment…yet still a cozy improvement. Tomorrow will move a painting that matches perfectly to that space. Off to rescue a friend in need of art project help. Peaceful thoughts. (6×6 oil on linen, 1.5″ deep)
The Story Triptych
14Aug08
This is a gift from myself to be hung in my brown bathroom upon drying. Sexually energized dramas…seduction vs. enlightenment…intense emotions swirling around me in great speed…desires of higher passions…my dreams are opening illusions or realities…futile attempts to control…ultimate failure to understand…opportunists fill their satisfactions in crude desire…pointless energy dissipates into nothing…no judgement…no loss…selfish isolated power…the correct path out of the negativity…to find love…lifting consciousness…light…just random thoughts…. (6×18 oil on linen; 1.5″ deep)
Come Into My World
11Aug08
I don’t think anyone can fully appreciate the life of an artist…the lonely world of making art…even my dearest of friends…what do you want from me…my heart…what is so attractive about the narcissistic, manipulative, unfaithful creative genius (and by no means am I so fucking special?) In spite of so much instability and emotional pain…what is desirable about the artist. Grab hold…if you can hang on…you are going to go places..never thought possible. My latest series of neurotic cabaret ladies…with age comes the goddess…she takes her love as she pleases. (6×6 oil on linen Artboard)
Unbearable Moi
08Aug08
If I could only write my story…you would not believe it. In true goddess fashion…she looks to the moon to wax her manifestations. In the darkness of the night…she is a witch…life is pure magic. I absolutely adore this little painting…even its imperfections…the face weary…waiting…longing…body not completely satisfied…oh so sweet in every way. (6×6 oil on Artboard)
Vintage Can Can
07Aug08
This is adapted from a vintage postcard I found on ebay…my obsession with vintage French. Dreaming again…how do I start doing sculpture…what medium…seems like a ton of work…I hate to say this…could I be getting bored with 2D art? The woman down the street is expanding the second floor of her home. She has all this tin or metal laying around on her yard to go to the dump. If only I could come up with a good use for it. I hate to drag it over to my house…only for it to sit around. So be it…have to make dinner for friends this evening. (8×10 oil on linen)
Eiffel Tower Exposed
06Aug08
This is like the fourth time I have painted this…each time slightly different…it is guaranteed to sell thus I keep repainting. I am really digging the gold in this. I find gold really works well in grayscale color scheme. Interesting things are happening to me…and fast…my material intentions…houseboat in the keys to sell my art from…apartment in paris…paint…write books…wine…love… (8×8″ oil on canvas, 1.5″ deep)
