If there were a ladder reaching up to heaven, designed by an abstract artist, it might look something like this. I kinda want to climb it, don’t you?

When I sit in silence on my meditation cushion, I endeavor to focus my mind on my breath. Thoughts inevitably come in, but that’s not a problem — this is the practice: noticing the thoughts, then simply letting them go and returning my focus to my breath, gently, and with self-compassion.
(Since I notice my mind wandering approximately a thousand times during each ten-minute sit, meditation is, therefore, one of the most effective ways to practice self-compassion! I call it a self-contained self-compassion machine. 🙂 )
Phoenix Rising
SOLD
I don’t start out with an idea when I paint; I just start painting, and allow myself to discover what emerges. A hooked shape appeared in this painting, and soon I found myself looking at a bird, buzzard-like.
Over on Facebook, people started referring to this as the Dinwiddie Bird. I thought of it as a phoenix, rising from the ashes, but Dinwiddie Bird works nicely, too. 🙂
Dark Delight
SOLD
After drawing in black ink into white watercolor ground, I wondered what would happen if I drew with white ink into black watercolor ground! This piece was my first experiment with that.
You can’t tell in this image that the paint is iridescent, but to me it evokes sugarplums, midnight on the night before Christmas, and all the excitement bubbling up in anticipation of the morning.
Bon Voyage Bear
SOLD
As this painting emerged, a sailboat appeared, and before I knew it my hand was drawing a bear. Who else would be sailingoff into the sunset in a purple boat with a red sail ?
