{finding my way}

Amongst It
Amongst It*
Acrylics, collage, spray paint & Pitt pens on linen
14 x 14 inch

I have been:
  • Unplugging.
  • Getting rid of the noise drowning out my own voice.
  • Reading, riding my bike, cooking. Moving my mind and my body.
  • Spending time with friends.  In the real world, not online.  
  • Asking for help, and receiving it.  Graciously and gratefully.
  • Job hunting.  Putting my heart and head into finding some stable income.
  • Wearing shorts and thongs.  How I love this time of year.
  • Painting.  
  • Grounding myself.
  • Making decisions.  Big ones and small ones.  
  • Restoring order.
  • Resting.
  • Finding my way. Ever so slowly but ever so surely, finding my way.

*This painting is on it's way to Brisbane to be part of the Chapman & Bailey 2010 Belle Arti Award.  If you're Brisbane based and you'd like to check out a piece of my work in the flesh the exhibition runs from 22 November to 3 December at Metro Arts, 109 Edward St, Brisbane.  I'd love to hear from you if you do, seeing as I won't be making it myself.

“When you wake up in the morning, Pooh," said Piglet at last, "what's the first thing you say to yourself?"

"What's for breakfast?" said Pooh. "What do you say, Piglet?"

"I say, I wonder what's going to happen exciting today?" said Piglet.

Pooh nodded thoughtfully. "It's the same thing," he said.”
