The work we did last week was very exhilarating for me. It showed me how it was possible to tap into an energy that came from deep within. It generated many positive feelings and a sense of trust in the process. That same afternoon, I tried the same process at home and painted another piece. It was somewhat more challenging on my own and I didn’t feel the energy as strongly, but I still did it. Since then I also started on another painting and feel a bit stuck at this point because I’m not sure where it’s going and feel some doubt, but I will continue and see where it takes me. LH 11/2/09

I too had similar excitement and unwinding this week. I have been actively creating in a visual journal a few times this week. pleasing myself, using art as a way of being with what i am grappling with through the week. this is what i always thought art was for. i am using untouched materials i have collected over the years in ways i had imagined. i am okay with the fact that this art is for MEEEEEEEE! and i have some imagery about a flower series that feels more about public comsumption.
