Being

I have noticed that my best paintings are created in a space of no thought or 'being'. A place of timelessness and peace. Where the mind is quiet and the ego is dying away. The more I stress or think about what to create or how to create them they turn out terrible or they don't end up getting done. They become work rather than an expression of the joy of being. Once I healed myself or once I escaped the illusion of the mind and it's obsession with the past and future and the fears they hold I was free to express, it flowed easily from me. I felt a connection to everything around me and a life force emanating from everything. I am so excited to express that in my paintings.
