Things come together and fall apart and come together in this rhythm that makes me think of the changing seasons or the days end. We all accept these things and even find them beautiful in many ways. At the same time I always feel this tug in my heart towards the days end, especially when I haven t finished all my tasks…but yet there is a call to rest…just like the trees rest during the cold months after shedding all their glorious colors. There is something in all of it that is beautiful…a call to peace and rest, a call to letting go. I believe this happens in us emotionally as well. We must learn to appreciate our own seasonal rhythms…our responses to the environment around us. Allowing this to happen brings us peace.

I have worked very hard to come to this realization and done so much growth to be able to see it. It really works to hold things loosely. It isn’t easy! But I don’t carry around so much weight on my heart anymore. And that is a beautiful thing. I wish for you to also find this peace. The peace from letting go of the things you aren’t meant to carry. Let go of the past and live right here right now. This is the only moment we are guaranteed. What would it look like to just set down all those worries and painful memories, just for this moment?

A new piece I just finished called skipping stones. I don’t usually try to make anything out of my abstract art, I just let it happen. But this was intentional. I wanted to make circles around circles with the illusion of a stone skipping across water with a variation of some of my favorite gems… pearl, jasper and tiger eye.

These are 3 paintings done in my acrylic beginner step by step painting class at Sun City Lincoln Hills. These ladies claimed they didn’t know how to paint with acrylics! Um… really?! Their use of palette knife and color mixing would tell me otherwise! I had to do a little bragging although I can’t claim to have taught them this… all I did was put the paints and tools into their hands and give them a subject prompt. I love teaching at Sun City! Everyone is so nice and I leave with a big smile on my face every time I teach there.
