Welcome back to me I took 12 days off of painting during my sabbatical, which was painful at first, and is the longest run ever since early 2007. In 2007 I vowed to paint everyday and have been doing so ever since.
I realized shortly into my break that getting a breather from that which I love was healthy for me – it gave me time to practice awareness, meditation, sitting and breathing – time to focus on what I really want out of this time I have. With the moments in Sweden, I crafted my vision of what I want my life to be like, and since I have been home I have been living it.
Putting brush to canvas after that 12 days off was invigorating, and as I worked on this piece I felt the inspiration rushing through me – I wanted to grab 6 more canvases and get to work!
I have two commissions in progress right now, and I’m delighted to place this reinvigorated inspiration and mindfulness into play on those pieces.
