Two Things Challenge – Organic & Chaos

Diane Clancy Art Blog Posted on by

I like to enter the 2 Things Challenge each week. This week is Organic / Chaos. This vibrant, colorful painting is my Organic & Chaos – I hope you like it!!….    This Organic & Chaos is supposed to show Chaos – I know it shows Organic … but the bubbles are supposed to be Chaos with color, movement (they are like a tornado) and they are not supposed to go together very well.  It was challenging because I like to work a piece till there is no Chaos inside me … so it was a little challenging!  Thank you for this challenge! Here are the entries for the other week’s Brilliant / Hidden. Anyone can join in, and I hope you give it a try!! We would love more people playing with us! Details are at this link above.

Free Intuition Course – 2nd Call Tonight

Diane Clancy Art Blog Posted on by

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!
