It doesn't matter what or how. I have to let it flow out of me.
I've been putting it on canvas. I'm a novice, but I don't care. I love the colors, the new techniques, the occupied mind. It's like a little detour -- just for a while.
I need to rejuvenate and feel new, fresh, alive again.
These were the first two offerings in the eye of my storm.
My first time with oils, and my first time with the palette knives. They're not perfect, but they're not bad for a newbie.
Maybe painting will become my retreat like the classical guitar used to be. My heart would escape through the movement of the strings and stir the soul.
In the mean time I will practise painting some more.
Have a good week everyone!
Blessings,
Carmen
