Will. See Shall

in

I found this title among the dictionary pages of this collage. The words struck me as philosophically poignant. I knew the definition was referring to the use of will vs shall when describing the future tense of the verb. But the other meanings of will and shall got me thinking about striving vs surrender.  If being an artist has taught me anything, it has taught me that both determination and resolution are necessary for success. If my yoga practice has taught me anything,  it has showed me that effort and letting go are both necessary for balance.  And if life has taught me anything, it is that experience and introspection are both required for tranquility.

Renaissance Woman and Positive Words

in ,

These are two pieces that I did as demos 2 weekends ago in Ormond Beach at the Museum of Art during my 2 day workshop. I have painted the girls in dresses before but apparently never got it out of my system! The Renaissance Woman was a fun experiment in crazy patterns and classical beauty. 2-2-2-2-2-2
