Painting and a request please.

Hi Everyone!

We have a break in the rain for a few hours. I really want it to be summer. Which is not really summer here. It doesn't get very warm, the wind is constant and cold coming off the Pacific ocean. With that said it is better than constant rain. LOL

I am doing something that helps the body, mind and spirit while we are still locked down. Painting a face without a plan, without thinking. The idea is to paint your feelings. Just pick up a brush with paint and begin.  No plan, no drawing it out first, just feel it. If you are angry, sad, happy, or what ever you are feeling. I have done two faces and really love how they turned out. 

It is a great exercise, try it and see what comes out.

This first one really changed as I painted. When it was finished, I realized the right eye truly represents how  much eye sight I have lost in that eye. (No, the doctors have never fixed it)

I didn't intend to use a pallet knife, however, 

I was putting paint on the canvas with a knife and 

before I knew it this is what I created.  

I am very surprised I used shades of blue. Not my favorite color at all.

Again with out thinking, the right eye is diminished. 

I guess it bothers me more than I think or let on.

This is a very fun way to paint I hope you try it.

Where ever you live I am wishing the very best of days for you.

Now for a request. My daughter is very ill and has been tested for covid,

she is home but not doing well. Please, what ever your belief system would you 

send healing energy, prayers and good thoughts to her.

Her name is April Dawn. 

Thank you so much.
