Oh heavenly day!

I awoke today and found this inspiring quote. It was my mantra for the day.

"The perfection of Being is the recognition that man has no option but to experience health, joy, abundance and divine completeness, all unopposed, without an interruption of any sort."



"In this perfection of Being any sense of limitation or restriction is unknown."

"The perfection of Being is the divine Mind expressing in all its majesty, beauty, security and glory, and this expression is you. You cannot escape the sheer bliss of divine Life's living!"

--Henty

Willamette Park: who let the dogs out??!

We painted from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., and then watched our instructor demo until 4 p.m..

Then Patty (above) and I, and a few others, stayed and painted until about 7 p.m. as the light was spectacular!


Some of the four legged hazards of plein air painting. One of them decided to pee on somebody's art supplies-yikes!

Giving yourself permission to paint badly...

...and just play!

Perfection leads to
Procrastination,
which leads to Paralysis.

Painting is scary and intimidating so we all do the three P's. But if you are willing to paint badly and play, you'll paint better and better, until you arrive at that place of magic where art is just breathed into the poetry of form.

Looking over my easel, I paint this scene...quite badly!
