A week ago or so I painted this model from life.
A lot has happened to my personal life since then and looking back
I realize how lucky I am to have had the liberty for so many years of enjoying and even struggling with the painting process.
Things are changing and I am distracted from my normal course.
To make art, to find it's purest gifts you should have a clear and receptive mind. Right now that is very difficult. The distractions and uncertainties are filling me, taking me away. I must find the inner strength to reach harder towards art, the more life tries to push me away from it.
Tonight with a quiet prayer almost like my model here, I pray for
right action and a sense of inner calm. To know I am in the right place at the right time for life to be lived to it's fullest.
