“There Will Be More Play” & “There Will Be M

“There Will Be More Play” & “There Will Be More Heat” were a couple of favorites from this mini-series. These two pieces are inspired by the feeling that summer 2020 felt stolen from us. With plans, trips, and social activities canceled much of the play of summer was curtailed. There Will Be More Play is one of my favorite pieces in this series. The colors and iridescence of this piece dance and move. There Will Be More Heat is tangentially a nod to the West Coast wildfires in terms of palette and name. With smoky, burning skies, summer came to a smoldering end. #therewillbemore

Can you distinguish between what you want and wha

Can you distinguish between what you want and what others want from you? Innate gifts don’t necessarily equate to desires. It’s tempting to lean into our strengths because we’ve been praised for them. Others see our power/value and encourage us to push for success and growth there. But what you’re good at and who you want to be aren’t always the same person. There’s the cognitive dissonance.

That’s ok. It’s ok to let go of the things you thought you wanted in pursuit of being who you want to be. There is no shame in redirecting your course. It’s easy to conflate “success” with desire, but they are not the same. Free yourself. Choose what you really want and know why you want it. Your desires and value are not externally dictated.

And that’s on WAP… Words Artists Peddle. I’m going to frame some art now. 🔫

Blue: The most popular/most liked color in the world followed closely by green. What creatures of comfort we are that the two colors that we see the most frequently in the natural world are the ones that we choose to be our favorites. The favoritism of familiarity. 💙 what’s your favorite color? No wrong answers. #blue #green #paintmixing #painting #studioscenes
