Friday dawns, well not yet, the sun is still asleep...but Mr Moon is up...the temps are near freezing and I REALLY need to be outside picking huge green tomatoes. I then could make FRIED GREEN TOMATOES. YUMMM. Makes me realize how hungry I am!
This painting was completed three days ago. I began a composition of sail boats with a pink sunset and a yellow beach with children on the beach....and out came this horse. Reminds me of all the detour writing I have been doing this week. Strong colors adorn this composition and the horse is a mare. You can see the delicate look in her eyes almost like she has discovered something and is looking closer.
You know when I painted this painting I had a goal in mind, a definite sketch of where I was heading. But as the colors began to appear on the canvas...it was not working and I began to scrap and pull the colors allow them to move and mold on the surface. Then I began to study the left over impressions to see what I could discover in them. Trusting the Holy Spirit with in to guide me, I began to establish this pretty mare. Insight led me to the finish. Wisdom was my companion; I teach my students, never give up on a painting....allow it to finish out and evolve. Give it it's own spirit from you. Release yourself from it.
This is what I offer you to think about in your life today. Release the things you do not need. Allow the day to shape itself with out your control and expectations. Take each new moment and embrace it with a new heartbeat of love and faith as you move forward.
Shalom,
Laurie
