A friend shared this very interesting Free Intuition Course with me last week.  It is Enwaken with David Morelli.  Last week I had to listen to the recorded version – I already had a meeting at that time.  Tonight is the 2nd call and I am planning on being there live.  I encourage you to check out his website and consider taking this FREE course!  Here is the first post in case you are coming along later.

We all have intuition of course … just most of us have it obscured by … the past and whatever else.  This course is about clearing out the garbage so each of us can access our intuition more clearly and consistently.  This, of course, allows us to do what we need to do.  Hope to see you there!

Thank you for stopping by!

This vibrant, colorful painting of Golden Inner Glow seems to come from and speak directly to the Soul.  The richness of the golds and purples feels very spiritual to me …  like a window into the soul.  I also see a goddess who can guide us and help us stay in touch with our highest purpose.  What do you see, feel, experience with this painting?  Thank you for stopping by!!

This week has been slower and going better.  I got some real work accomplished.  But I just got some very sad news about the health of a beloved family member who has been struggling health-wise.  Any prayers for him would be most appreciated!  I just got the call .. so tonight I am only going to share with you this vibrant, colorful painting that I created in honor of my Mom and my 18 year kitty companion.  It speaks to love being eternal – beyond all time and space.  Thank you for being in my life.  Thank you for stopping by!

This is one of my dreamscapes … Yesterday Sadia of Sadia Paintings said she liked “How about this one? Digital” the best out of the several paintings that Mel had put in his feature of me and my vibrant, colorful paintings … so this is dedicated to Sadia … it is a different color but I think she will enjoy the texture. I just found one of Sadia’s images that I just HAVE to share with you … it is utterly incredible!!  Here is the post for this image.

This is also not my usual palette (nor Sadia’s) but I hope the form, texture and meaning will delight Sadia!  I see the center of calm in the middle of this painting as the heart or stillpoint as all the motion of emotions and dreams swirl around this center of peace.

I am still dragging from the time change and all the tension of the family issues I have been dealing with … I am hoping to have more energy tomorrow. In the meantime, I am at least sometimes supporting my own Stillpoint. Thank you for stopping by! I would love to hear about you!!

I hope you like this vibrant,  colorful painting!  That is about all I have energy to say tonight …  But I saw this image and to me it told me it is the Crown Chakra … right at the top of each of our heads.  It is a very powerful connection to the divine energy of the Universe.

I am thrilled to report that I have been working in the studio … using real, non-digital, art materials.  This is one of the results.  I have created 15 ACEOs that I like … and by the end of doing them, I was getting back in the groove again of how I use pastels.  I have never tried to draw so small before – not in any serious way.  Some of you know I have been trying to get back in there (the studio) to create with traditional mediums … so this is quite a success for me!

On the last several ACEOs, I was tackling them as if I actually knew what I was doing .. it  was a great feeling!  I love working digitally and it has been wonderful for me to be able to … especially when I often didn’t feel well enough to be in the real physical studio.  But it was also miraculous for me to be able go into the studio … where there is no UNDO button … and start to feel good about creating this tiny little cards (2 1/5″ x 3 1/2″) …. it started to be a whole lot of fun!  Even though it is cold in the studio – the temperature is 63 degrees.

I hope you like this vibrant,  colorful painting! I know I do … I use pastels in a way unlike most people … but I use them the way that feels right to me … Delighted to be sharing this with you!  Thank you … I would love to hear about your own process in creating.

Susan Elkin and I have been working quite hard on her business and she has made incredible progress.   By the way, Susan has posted today!!  Thank you for stopping by!
