I have been "doing" a lot more art lately. Painting mostly, and other art related projects. I think that keeping busy this way is a good thing. One result however, is that I don't think abstractly about it as much. It seems that when I am more in the action mode, I am not so much in the thinking mode.So, without the deluge of verbal constructs whirling around in my head, I found myself pondering the reason for my past frequent journaling or the purpose for blogging. The answer flows naturally. E-journaling remains a way to reflect upon my ideas about art and it is a way to capture my work. Perhaps it is also a way to document my own unique journey through this world.
While I don't have any musings today (or do I?), here are some pics of what I have been doing. And BTW, the flowers are absolutely stunning around here this time of year. They continue to inspire. I will miss summer. Peace out. Signed,
With Love,
The Quirky Artiste

An Art Blog that seeks to reconcile the beauty of joy with the inexplicable challenges that we face each day. From an artist's perspective, life is never a dichotomy; never black or white or even shades of gray. I am constantly on the "look out" for God's Promised Rainbow.

Over time I've learned not to fight a lot of things, including what my art looks like. Today, it comes from my soul and I allow it only to be source of joy. It has become one of my essential ingredients for happiness.

While my paintings are escapism, the real world reminds me daily of the work we have yet to do and the purpose that we serve. “To whom much is given, much is expected.” - Luke 12: 48
