i continue to fall smitten down the rabbit hole of paint..
the language of it
beguiling as sirens at sea, calling me out into the
careening tides of alluring colours, waves of freedom,
wild seas of discovery.
it is at once braille, opera, epiphany and crucifixion,
mysterious, fleeting...
so compelling i willingly freefall from the shoreline familiar
into the deep reverie of soul.
what is so captivating
about thisdemanding, mysterious maven
that will dodge you at any turn in the road
only to return
asking more of you than you dreamed possible?
somewhere between the canvas and paint
there is chemistry
connection
transcendence
an honest unfurling where hands and soul
bravely sing in the realm of absolute freedom.
giving oneself to the miraculous world of courageous expression,
is at once
dreaming and awakening.
it is quite simply
blooming true.
while i prepare to host our second annual
true bloom with flora bowley, san miguel de allende
i am filled with love for all the creative souls who shared the courtyard last year,
and so eager to welcome our newest bloomers to the garden;
under the encouraging guidance of
if you are yearning to bloom true this new year
i hope you will consider joining flora for
a groundbreaking transformational approach to painting
and living that celebrates intuition, connects body, mind, spirit;
allowing unique and expressive paintings to emerge naturally and authentically.
beginning january 28
for five weeks of interactive instruction
(six months of classroom access)
once i return from
san miguel
you will find me smitten once more
in the true bloom E course classroom,
blooming true in the new year.
where my friends will paradise take you?

My Paradise has called me to be near
the waters edge this day.
No colors.
Just the palette of beauty.

You're going to San Miguel again? I just got this wonder-filled idea today that I'm going to move to San Miguel, so maybe in a year or two, you and Billy can overnight--or overwinter--at my place. How 'bout that?

Taking Flora's e-course last summer was on of the highlights of my year and my life! It truly changed how I approach my art & creativity. I'm working on some new canvases with all I learned last year. I love what you spoke of the creative process here. I found very much that art asks more of you than you dreamed possible, and so you discover more than you dreamed you could do! Very excited for you that you will be hosting again. :o) ((HUGS))
