♥ Painting and energy
I got this great image in my head of what I want to end up on my 24x36 canvas. I got the canvas around 6 months ago, and for months nothing was coming to mind. I had mild generalized ideas of what I wanted to convey, but no image was really forming in my head.
On Halloween I was picking up some beer at Wal-mart. I don't like beer, don't really care for wal-mart, but was meeting my friends at the jewelry counter and as I walked by this necklace caught my attention from the corner of my eye. It was a silver medallion type piece with a thin gold chain. I didn't like the gold chain at all, but the medallion had a tree punched into it. I gasped when I saw what, to me, was the tree of life on a piece of jewelry.
This was the start of my dreams. I started to have dreams about the tree of life, sitting in this place, but blending with the general ideas of what I want to be conveyed from the painting. A little more each day. I guess if I really think about it, this all started back when I did my first painting of the spine and chakras. It just didn't seem like it was enough.
Since that day I found the tree of life engraving, everything has been coming together. I was ready to paint, but had to get through midterms first. I've straightened up the house, gotten out the paint supplies, laid the cover out on the floor, and should be all ready to paint.
Should. But I'm not. Without the children here I feel like I'm missing a huge part of me. I try to stay out of the house as much as I can when they are not here, but that is simply unrealistic. I'm going to have to get used to this at some point, so I might as well work on it now.
I just feel like I should not mix the low energy I feel right now with the energetic expression I want to emanate from the painting.
♥ Live life with love.
