rough day yesterday.
gray skies,
gray spirits,
heavy heart.
an uproar
of my own
gray making.
went into my studio,
grabbed a finished painting,
reached for gesso
off a shelf.
and a brush.
painted right over
that sucker.
black gesso.
white gesso.
whatever came to hand.
threw my raw feelings
directly onto the canvas
with no filter.
felt
much
better.

oh my. Dotty - this is intensely powerful. I absolutely cannot stop looking at it. Is it for sale?
Jen, thank you, thank you, and yes!
I find I am staring. I see spirit, and turmoil. Still staring.
Sheila, thank you!
Spirit, and turmoil. Yes! Grateful for your feedback. Very satisfying.
What a grand title! What a history! Isn't it great that we can get those feelings out there and also create a work of art.
oo, thanks for the nod to my title, Carool.
I had NO idea when I first began painting that canvases could have so much history.
YES, so awesome that we can shake off feelings with a paint brush, ease our burdened selves. AND create ART : )
