Back in the saddle, painting that is.

The warm season is almost gone, and here i am staring at a blank canvas. lost that excitement i had in May.

Staring at my horse painting , and wondering how much of that did i retain. i needed something to steer me into the right direction. maybe another horse painting. So i e-mail Diane if i could use one of her fab photos to recreate that happy workshop. The lady is very talented, not only in her paintings, but also a very sharpshooter with the  camera. Diane Williams if you want to check out her work.

I told her which one i like and she gracefully said yes.

yipee

I wasted no time in getting started. I had the charcoal stick in my hands and had it sketched out before the day was done. the canvas was covered with charcoal, and i looked like the chimney sweep apprentice.

it's all good.

in the name of art.

the fun began when i started to throw the paint on. What a roller coaster ride. i was mentally and emotionally challenged. I had to push threw the challenges the painting presented. But in the end, the birth of 

Eating Spaghetti on Horseback 

was born.

I learned so much about myself going through this process. The art of letting go. The art of allowing. Experiencing freedom. And most of all the art of play.
