A Mixed Media Canvas: Whimsical

This is a canvas I finished recently for this adorable little girl I used to teach in baby yoga. Her mom allowed for a lot of artistic expression, essentially saying “I trust you”. Eeeep! I knew she liked some canvases I’d done with flowers, and she had sent me pics of her little girl’s room. So for this one, I was going for whimsical flowers with a mandala pattern taken from her sheet set.

The flowers have a lot of layers peeking through. I tried to give it some layers without looking “too grungy”. Grungy doesn’t exactly fit for a little girl’s room, ya know?

I’m delivering it today – I’m excited to see how it looks in her room!

Supplies used: Golden Heavy Body acrylic paint, India Ink, Sharpie paint pen

A Mixed Media Canvas: Listen

Let go of the need

to classify every experience.

let go of the need

to rationalize.

when you quiet your mind,

what do you hear?

with your ears?

with your body?

energy vibrating all around

connecting you, me, the tree.

we are all one.

the world is pure potential

to be shaped as you dream

with our minds the only limit to reality.

A Mixed Media Canvas: Stardust

We are made up of the same stuff, you and I.  When you break us down into our smallest bits, it’s all the same.  A sea of quarks, buzzing around in a pattern uniquely you.  Not just our bodies, but the moon, the stars, the mountains, the rain.

Those moments of light, glimpses where I see the expansiveness of my energy… give me hope for what awaits on the other side.  When I die, where will my energy go?  Will the quarks that make up my existence bumble around until they form something new?  A star, perhaps?  So I can be a pure light, bursting forth.  Releasing into the universe to live another existence.
