Finished another Intuitive painting- "Water World"

I guess my paintings are showing the chaos that is my life right now.  We are getting ready to list our house for sale. It is bittersweet -- a touch sad and a touch exciting.  Not sure where we are going to go yet, but downsizing is a MUST as we send my youngest daughter off to college this summer.  Thinking of Florida… do you think the magical seaside water world is coming out in my latest intuitive painting??


30"x30" "Water World" 

Busy days ahead….

New Intuitive Painting with Bear

Ok, so here is the first painting that I finished (I think) during the Brave Intuitive e-course with Flora Bowley. Check out her work-- its's amazing!

This painting is very busy because I wanted to keep so many different areas of this painting.  The multiple layers created lots of cool designs.  I also didn't commit to a color scheme, so just went with a bunch of different colors!  So I'm hoping my style will simplify a bit as I practice more and more.  It's mostly about the process for me-- I can't begin to describe how great it feels to paint like this. I just get so into a "zone".  It's very therapeutic--even with just my wrong hand! LOL

AND.. I didn't even care that I couldn't use my right hand until the final touches.  It just took me a little longer and I had less control over the paintbrush with my left hand.

Speaking of --I've been in this wrapped splint thing for my right broken wrist now for 3 weeks.  I go back on Tuesday and get a short arm cast. The current fiberglass thing on me goes past my elbow so I can't straighten my arm.  I can, however, use my fingers a bit for typing. Can't really hold onto anything yet, like a pen or paintbrush.  Can't shave my left pit, hook my bra or put my hair into a pony tail. Life goes on…

Taken with my camera phone because I still can't hold the real camera  30"x30"


I skipped taking some pics of a few layers, but u get the gist! Ok, off to work on another one!!

Broke the other wrist!!! Buddha painting and Intuitive Wine painting

So during the ice storm we had two weeks ago, I slipped on the ice and broke my RIGHT WRIST! So mad at myself and finding it hard to do lots of things. (including typing)

But before that happened, I drove to my friend's place in Fl and spent 4 days with her in Tampa. Loved the warm weather!  We played tennis, caught up on life, drank wine and painted!  We signed up for one of those wine & painting classes and had so much fun!  Here is my "Tranquil Buddha":

His right ear is cut off in this photo, but you can get the idea.  Wine and paint-- they did an excellent job teaching us how to paint the Buddha!

So my friend got the painting bug and we bought a few colors and painted some more the next day. Here is my intuitive wine painting! HA


And here I am smiling thru the pain…

New Golden Retriever Painting and Getting Ready for #BloomTrue Class

Ok, so I finished this painting today so I have a blank slate (well not really, but no one waiting on me!) I'm starting the e-course on intuitive painting tomorrow!

This is my friend Sue's dog, Rosie, painted on 18"x24" stretched canvas (picture taken with cell phone):


And today I got my painting space ready for Flora Bowley's e-course: 




And now I'm a happy camper!!

Looking for Peace! Intuitive painting

Ok, so I really have to be grounded in order for this process to flow.  If I take a walk or exercise and clear my head, it really makes a difference!  Here is my latest clusterf*ck of a painting.  Pretty sure these will don the walls of storage room until eternity!! LOL


It is 36"x36".  Seven more days until my Flora Bowley class starts!! Woohooo.  Will be interesting to see the transformation and I am guided through the process properly.  
Ta ta for now. 
Peace out,
Carol

Going with the flow-- another intuitive painting

Ok, this is SO MUCH FUN to do!  I am onto something here for myself.  It may be a clusterf*ck on canvas, but it was very enjoyable.  I'm so excited to learn this new process and can't wait for my course starting in February!

Not sure what to call this and not sure how to hang it either…


It's big-- 30"x40"

Ok, now I have to finish painting a golden retriever!!

New Intuitive Painting

Ok, so I signed up for Flora Bowley's e-course starting on Feb. 10th. I can't wait!! In the meantime, I have her book and am learning this process from that. Here is the latest painting : 36"x36":


I'm sure a psychiatrist would like to get ahold of me after seeing this one!! LOL  I will be painting another one today.  I LOVE this process!!!  It's not about the end result, but about the painting itself.  It's so much fun and very interesting to see how each piece turns out.
