This #painting first began as an alla prima still life I created from a fresh floral bouquet, small teapot, dish, and orange. I added more details later on after the painting dried. It was also the first time I ever tried anything ‘alla prima’. #art

From Anger to Expressing Our True Voice What happens when we stop hiding and dare to give voice to the soul.

“It is the duty of the artist, of the musician, of the choreographer, of the poet, to help people, little by little, to raise their level of consciousness.” ~Jonas Gerard

From a post I wrote on finding our true voice. #art #painting

Started playing around with some soft #pastels and #charcoal pencils on black paper. #art #drawing #KindledConnection

Just completed a graphite and #charcoal abstract #drawing. #art #painting #KindledConnection

Recently, I published a blog post featuring an #artist I admire: Jimena Agra. Yesterday, I received a package from her in the mail that include three prints of some of her #paintings and a thank you card. I love them! #art #gratitude

Just started and finished an alla prima #painting with a 2-hour time limit. Alla prima means you paint it all in one sitting/session. #oils #art #KindledConnection

Finished white charcoal fish drawing. #art #drawing #painting #KindledConnection

I was thinking more along the lines of 'energy'. In a chemical reaction, change happens but the same amount of energy still exists. If I understood chemistry correctly! :) So even though a life altering event changes the nervous system, one's 'soul' is still whole. #spiritchat

Thank you so much! ❤️

This was not pastel but white charcoal pencil, used 3 types: hard, medium, and soft. This is a completely smooth sheet of paper anf I have not yet tried pastels on it but was thinking about it earlier today! I imagine it would need better paper in order to build multiple layers of color with pastels

I haven't set it yet. This first part is with white charcoal and tomorrow I am going to strengthen highlights with a white China Marker. Haven't decided what I will use to fix it yet.

Thank you! ❤️

Todays' #art project updates. First, started my new #drawing (simple sketch for now) assignment with white charcoal and eventually, white China marker on 18x24 inch mixed media paper. Finished drawing of rose in graphite. And more progress made on 'Van Gogh' style #painting. #spiritchat

Today’s progress pics on latest #painting and graphite #drawing. I anticipate that I will be able to finish the drawing tomorrow. #art #Spiritchat

A8) Mind/body connection (and heart/soul) or thoughts and feelings. Establishing proper boundaries can help when needed. (Knowing where you end and others begin). Changing what can be changed. i.e. work out of alignment with highest good? Find different work, etc. #spiritchat
