The Drawing and Painting Process.....

It was another incredibly beautiful and clear day today. Went to a good service, met another tremendous keyboard/guitarist/vocalist, had a great workout as well as a wonderful walk and play period outdoors with Nikita. I practiced guitar and worked on a painting that was perplexing me for a period.

This is a painting of my Native American "Totem Animals." They are animals that I need to pay attention to in order to learn from and expand my physical, psychic and spiritual awareness.

My animals are: hummingbird, prairie dog, bat, owl, swan, horse, raven, porcupine & spider. They are all forms of "medicine."

Paintings are funny. They teach me to really be in the moment and problem solve from the hip. One slip of the brush and there's something different and sometimes difficult to overcome.

Sometimes it's a "fix" situation, other times it's a lesson in learning to accept and incorporate the "problem" just as it is. Living life on life's terms with a simple change in/of perspective.
