Today is the BIG race at the Texas Motor Speedway. Usually it means I am not leaving the house, but I will try to make it out to a brunch for my youngest brothers birthday. As he is 11 years younger than I am, I love seeing him grow older!
I painted myself out last night...actually yesterday, painting 13 straight hours with out food and not leaving the studio except to let the dogs out. It was cold outside yesterday and cloudy until late...so I cranked the music and worked with palettes I do not normally work with. You will see some of those paintings this week on the blog. The Koi were done three days ago and are full of light and color; it is painted with a palette knife! THICK PAINT.
Seems like three is the number this week...I am doing a lot in threes. The thought today at daily word is remembering. Remembering those you love that are gone from this life. Celebrate the memories and the energy they left with you. Speaking of energy, Terry and I were watching the newer Beethoven movie and laughed and enjoyed it so much. But there was a line in there about God and music...that the energy and vibrations of music come through the breath of God. Being a musician I fully understand. As an artist I agree totally with it. Allowing Him to work through my hands makes a huge difference in how a painting turns out. Not getting in the way. The movie lines explained it as retaining silence with in your earthly body to allow the energy from the Lord to fill you.
Grace,
Laurie
