Tone your wants and tastes low down enough, and make much of negatives, and of mere daylight and the skies.

I collected about two dozen beautiful and varied leaves last night from the trees at Costco. My husband loaded our groceries while I wandered the parking lot searching for treasures. When we got home, I carefully laid the wet leaves on towels and put heavy pans over them to keep them from curling up and getting crunchy. I had dreams all night about what I could create with them.
On dreary days it's comforting to know that this is near my doorstep and I can't wait for the next visit.

La capacità di semplificare significa eliminare il superfluo in modo che solo il necessario possa parlare.

Hidup ini nikmat, nafas ini nikmat, rasa ini nikmat, dunia, alam semesta dan segala isinya ini adalah nikmat...
Maka bersyukurlah.

“Reaching Sadness” doesn’t necessarily feel sad when you look at it. Actually, it looks kind of crazed and frantic. I think many artists would have taken a brush full of paint and simplified the whole composition into something more soothing.
But soothing is not how I process sadness. Not at all. That is someone else’s painting. For me, my paintings are where everything lands. I have a brain that pings off the confines of my skull when I can’t escape something that is true. And there is nothing more true than that the beings you love will leave you.
There were moments when this piece was beautiful, organized, calm, and accepting. You can see it in the deep, dark areas. And then I ran off and got busy taking care of everything that had to be done.
Maybe someday, if this piece is still with me, I will take that brush full of paint and calm it down. But that is not now. And this piece is me on sadness.
This, too, is taken in the gardens near the rose garden at Point Defiance Park, located in Tacoma, Washington. I think I'm having a difficult time deciding which I like more, roses or dahlias! They're both so beautiful! Hope you all enjoy!

"The paintings of the Fauves were characterized by seemingly wild brush work and strident colors, while their subject matter had a high degree of simplification and abstraction."
