So not what I set out to do today…for whatever reason…this is what i did…do I know my market…as much as I do cutesy artsy fartsy stuff…people are drawn to the erotic…maybe this is meant to be an eye catcher for the Stowe Festival. I am constantly thinking and rethinking my habitual thoughts…thus creating and recreating the same kind of events or circumstances. It is changing all the time. Maybe tomorrow…since the kids are at their dads…I will do a lighter more zen like painting…similar to yesterdays. Art is a state of mind…to create without thought…much more my style. (22×26 watercolor, ink, and pencil on paper)

Nice Lady
09Jul08
I created a series of lady sketches..this is my favorite. Early morning…after the am meditation…to be the best time for manifestation and creative visualization work. Understanding my desires are an illusion…the reality…my desires are meant to be completely fulfilled…good inevitably happens…in the present…it is more important to receive my good than it is to serve negative ego…create without self - seeking. I accept I don’t know everything…my good is ready to reveal itself in ways I may never have imagined. Waking up to abundant good is wonderful. It’s right here. (5×7 pencil and ink on paper)
Attachment to the Ego
09Jun08
In the process of getting my new work in a gallery in Stowe…a series of framed pencil and ink drawings…everyone…everything…important lessons to teach us…if only westop…look…and listen…let go of the story…let go of the silly story…we are all in this together…I guess…really what is eating at me…is the annoyance of friends who judge…friends who pretend to have your back…and what do I need to do…let go of the need for them to have my back…sweet oxymoron…what are friends for..(pencil and ink)
Is Everybody Else Alright
05Jun08
“Is everybody else alright?” - Bobby Kennedy’s words immediately after he was shot 40 years ago. “What we need in the US is love, compassion, and wisdom…,”words from Kennedy in a speech after the Martin Luther King assassination. Obama’s campaign has been compared to Bobby Kennedy. A progressive candidate who started in politics through community organizing…who opposed the war in Iraq…who is not afraid to stand up to the politics of fear…an African-American became the Democratic nominee for president…the greatest upset in US politics.
Still riding high from the sale of “Talk of the Town” painting. Careful not to spout my good fortune with all in my path…so easy to let my head swell…trying to find absolute rights and wrongs is a trick we play on ourselves to feel secure and comfortable. We can either cling to security…or we can let ourselves feel exposed…completely naked…sounds uncomfortable or frightening…or quite daring and brave…nonetheless egolessness is grounding.

When Things Fall Apart
04Jun08
This title has absolutely nothing to do with my current state of mind…as I am tickled pink with life…Obama clinches the democratic nomination…finalized details of sale of “Talk of the Town” painting…the most I have sold a painting for…doing yoga…in love with myself…and all in my circle…doing the dance of life is good. (pencil and ink)
Thinking About Sex
03Jun08
Lots going on…the exhibit at the Daily Planet was a success…sold a painting for lots of money…feeling good about my home studio…lots of positive feedback…perfecting my golf game (my latest addiction)…playing lots of tennis…transforming my home. This is one of several nude paintings done on drawing paper…sorry I have not posted these…they really look great framed and on my wall. (pencil and ink)
