My studio with work in progress

I have been obsessed with an art show I am getting ready for. It has taken almost all my free time for the latter part of the summer and now it is almost upon us.



It certainly is a privilege to spend such a large amount of time with my inner thoughts and freely indulging the creative part of myself.

The constancy of being creative on an almost daily basis, certainly has provided me with an opportunity to fully explore my inner being, my inner life.
It's also been fascinating to observe myself on the roller coaster ride of emotion I go on when creating an art piece.
    First there is exhilaration, the place where one is totally working form the heart with wild joyful abandon. This bliss is often pierced by moments of dark fear, which slide into pangs of self doubt. That is when the ego voice starts asking ridiculous questions like, "what the heck do you think you are doing anyway?" And then finally a huge wave of calm and peaceful sweet contentment washes over me and I shift back into balance.

Interesting to say the least!
