Inner Spark.
April 25, 2012
I stopped by Flying Colors today in Berkeley on 7th street. I went in and asked for Michele. She designs libraries and I spoke with her before I accepted my current job. I knew her from taking the Painting Experience out in the Avenues in SF in 1988. she and her husband David and I would drive over from Emeryville together for a few weeks.
I hadn't seen David in over 20 years and he came out and said Michele wasn't there and could he help me. Then he recognized me and we sat down and talked. He had just spent one month in Hawaii. I showed him my paintings on my phone. He is lovely. Sold the business and they are going to move to Hawaii and live where they feel at peace. He thanked me for sharing my paintings. He felt it was evident that they were painted by someone with life force. They are a gift to the world from my soul. From my attention to my intention. I am exploring an idea through the paint. the imagery i feel compeled to repeat is bodies alive. Bodies stoking the Goddess. Bodies honoring the Hero. Bodies channeling Life Force. I hope that when someone looks at an image of the painting or the painting itself, they get a split second of appreciation for being alive.
