I had something else in mind for this piece but for some reason it’s calling for dots…….lots of dots…….I can’t seem to get beyond this point so I’ll keep making dots and let the painting have its say. “Everything's intentional. It's just filling in the dots.” -David Byrne#slowpoke #davidbyrne #dots #quote #qotd #practice #sketchbook #video #green #studiolife #craypas #watercolor #metaphor #mixedmediaart #experimentalart #artistpov #pdxartists #pdxart #abstract #art #dailyinspiration #pdxartist #artistthoughts

I’ve got plants swirling around again. Funny how the subconscious shows itself when I get still and paint. Detail of work in progress. “So allow yourself to sense once again. Allow your sensory perceptions to be your thinking. Sense instead of think. This is what the senses are meant to do. It’s time to come to your senses.”- Stephen Harrod Buhner…#practice #sketchbook #qotd #quoteoftheday #stephenharrodbuhner #plantspiritmedicine #interconnectedness #24Kgold #goldleaf #24K #studiolife #craypas #watercolor #kintsugi #kintsukuroi #metaphor #mixedmediaart #experimentalart #artistpov #pdxartists #pdxart #abstract #metaphor #dailyinspiration #pdxartist #artistthoughts #wip #workinprogress #vero #watercolorartist

“The word ‘comfort’ comes from the Latin words for ‘with’ and ‘strength’ and originally meant operating from a position of power.”- Joseph Chilton PearceI’m learning Kung fu. It’s so freakin’ hard. I’ve barely got the bow-in and offering water to the goddess down. I decided to do it to challenge my brain and learn new ways of moving. It’s pretty uncomfortable to be so uncoordinated again. But I love the grace and strength I feel when I finally coordinate a few movements. The video is a projection of the painting “Aisthesis” which is the Greek word for the heart’s ability to perceive meaning from the world.#kungfu #quote #qotd #josephchiltonpearce #practice #sketchbook #heart #cometoyoursenses #24Kgold #goldleaf #24K #studiolife #craypas #watercolor #kintsugi #kintsukuroi #metaphor #mixedmediaart #experimentalart #artistpov #pdxartists #pdxart #abstract #pdxartist #artistthoughts #aesthesis #greeks #philosophy #mtbi

Sometimes I just burn the words up to get them out of my head. “There is a place where words are born of silence, A place where the whispers of the heart arise…” – Rumi…#itlookslikearose #ritual #rumi #poet #poetry #ceremony #fire #pdxart #artistthoughts #artistpov #pdxartist #firebug #burningpaper

“Once you see it,You know it was there all the time,So why is it such a big deal?And why do we keep forgetting?”- Dale PendellToday wasn’t as easy as I was hoping. Spent a long time wondering how many times I need to get smacked in the head before I remember – oh yeah, been here before…now git along and remember this next time.
