On My Nightstand, On My Easel, 6/7/23
On my nightstand:
Especially in the wake of having recently read the densely rich and compellingly informative book Permission to Feel by Marc Brackett, founding director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, the following one-liner from Alexis Hall’s romping romcom Boyfriend Material hit my funny bone head on:
I hoped I wasn’t going to keep having emotions,
because it would get really tiring
really fast.
On my easel:
I’ve created another start to develop in situ on my upcoming vacation. Same paint palette as my other start, different color-mixing, this one 14 x 17″.

I’m eager to play with this start, to see where it takes me. Thanks for your nod to the colors, Sheila—I used the same pink, turquoise, and quin gold as in my other start but I made a point of investigating what new outcomes I could get from mixing.

Lola, the quotation makes me laugh out loud every time I revisit it! I’m trying to apply what I learned from Marc Brackett to some runaway emotions currently—RULER: recognize, understand, label, express, regulate. Tired on top of tired!
LOVE your description of the color palette in this painting start! Dynamite! Thank you!
Let me know what you think! I need a personal trainer perched on my shoulder to guide me now : )
