Beelieve

that of which remains unspoken

...

16x20 inch canvas...no mixed media...just paint...and Dali inspiration

documentation of progress was done via iphone and instagram

Dali is in the h o u s e!

so i am playing with him..and his style...and his open door to surrealism

it is anything but tenuous

allowing the door to open...in photos and in some doodles 

letting them rush in and rush out

marking this time in my life...that of which is blue bee...entering her Dali days

i stand behind the genius when he says: 

"I have Dalinian thought: the one thing the world will never have enough of is the outrageous"

 

a day about...

l i f t...on canvas

l i f t

my mantra for 2012

when i wake... 'l i f t'

when i run... 'l i f t'

when i create...'l i f t'

when i think ill thoughts... 'l i f t...l i f t...l i f t'

up and away from 'it'

'it' that holds me back

'it' that offers nothing positive

'it' that can be toxic

whatever 'it' may be

i shall 'l i f t' away

 

my usual beginning is in the pages of old books

 

from there a layer of paint, via cardboard square..my fav tool...and of course a bird along for the ride

 

buried beneath the surface of 'l i f t' are those items i feel i need to lift from...those buried deep...those that will nurture the roots...those that bring strength..not so neatly written in...not so neatly lived...not so neat at all but necessary all the same for growth

 

then a beautiful layer of pristine, fragile rice paper is layered over them...to cover...to keep...to bring a layer of white...a surface for the threads to become roots to the word that gets me through

 

and splashes of red...i tend to splash red into many of my art pieces...my art...my soul...my blood

 

floating in the air above 'l i f t' are my reasons written in, also protected by a delicate layer of rice paper and etched with rays of yellow sun

 

thank you 'l i f t'

you are my push word

looking forward to a very good year

 

sowing the seeds of kindness

after seeing Kelly Rae Roberts   Kindness Mission and she asks 'are you in?' how could i possibly say no?  She has made a beautiful poster, made copies and is posting them randomly to spread kindness.  i felt this was perfect for ♥ month.  Valentines day is right around the corner and i don't know a heart that doesn't have room for something...perhaps they may 'pick their seed' and let it grow.  perhaps it will remind everyone who sees it to not just smile and take what they need, but really open their heart and receive.

Since i am all warmed up from January's art i dove right in the other day creating my mixed media art piece.  I then scanned it in and added the text via the computer so it would be all nice and neat...the added bonus is i have a fun base  piece for other projects

I hope to figure out a way to make a download that is easy for anyone to help themselves and print for their own use.  If you want, try clicking on image and saving, print a copy to take to make more copies and spread them around your town. you have my permission and my blessing.   I will post more info when i have it sorted out..i am technologically challenged as it is...and 10 minutes before bedtime...aye yi yi to say the least!

i would love to hear from anyone who does this mission as well
