Moving things out of the studio this week made the space more inviting, felt like air was flowing through the room and my mind more freely. I felt pulled in to the space, the empty stool in front of the work area.
A drawing made while the mind had no settled thought, only impressions amid noise (while waiting for youngsters to have their fill at a Gamer convention) was added to and played with over the past few days.
Yes and no. Choices, balance, the hovering between options not decided yet - what is that called? I know there is a term for it. Bardo. That's it. There's a balance point where anything is possible. You can't stay there long, but until you close off other options by choosing, you can turn in any direction, open any door within reach.
Then it's magic. Right? Your very balanced painting IS quite magical.
ReplyDeleteERS: Thank you for the kind words. I would have to agree about the magic. Some paintings just 'happen', and luckily I just 'happened' to sit down and pick up a paintbrush.
ReplyDeleteI like this a lot, and what you said about it too.

I so agree that the room where you work should have air flowing freely through it. Cool illo for expressing "balance." :)
