Visualization, vision boards, and writing your dreams down are powerful tools for manifestation. A couple years ago I did a study for a mural never actualized which illustrates the nine wolf rules from Clarissa Pinkola Estes book 'Women who Run with Wolves". The rules tell how to regain or maintain a sense of balance and are as follows: Eat, Rest, Rove in Between, Render Loyalty, Love the Children, Cavil in Moonlight, Tend to the Bones, Make Love, and Howl Often. If all goes well there is a chance the study may become a reality due to a good friend who now works in Santa Monica for a humanitarian agency wanting a mural to support their vision. We'll see - it's in writing as to what I want .... oh, and the Universe likes speed!
Karma bracelet by Mary-Beth Korutz-Killian. Turquoise farthest rightMy niece Gabby is heading back to school Saturday - she was able to fit me into her schedule for lunch giving me the opportunity to give her a Karma bracelet by Mary-Beth Korutz- Killian. She loved it ----!
The theme for Ruby's eighth birthday was mermaids - so, with the help of Google Images I recreated a mermaid in a circular canvas to present to her on her celebration. Having six nieces is one of the my greatest joys... their walls are art-filled as I've given them artwork by me or fellow artists for their Christmas and birthday presents since they were born.
Last night was a great opportunity to meet some fellow Pa artisans from outside the area. The Shulman Gallery is a beautiful space to exhibit and Kelly (on right in photo) does a wonderful job curating the shows.
Tools surround me - I just have to pick them up and use them.... these books are tools which help me to pick up and use the tools of creation... I my case... brushes. Thanks be to this day.
The students worked hard all month for the grand final at the Scranton Cultural Center which coincided with FirstFriday - the city was alive and well with gallery openings and musicians galore! Shown here is Kayla with the landscape portion of the painting classes "tower" and Earl and me with the portrait "tower".
