the meditative practice of using a brush

I use my brush as a meditative process. Practice showing up and feeling what I feel. I stand in the middle of the room with a brush in my hand, so I am ready.

where’s the silver lining?

Is a silver lining just a bit of beauty in the mist our very chaotic world? As the saying goes – every cloud has a silver lining – always looking for and grateful for those small signs of hope and beauty that appear in my life.

noticing what’s in front of you

for me, noticing is about to seeing the interesting light and shadows in front of me. One of my all time favorite photographers said:

To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place… I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them. Elliott Erwitt

The true purpose is to see things as they are, to observe things as they are, and to let everything go as it goes… Syunryu Suzuki
