A Beautiful Harmony

I am just beginning the biggest and most ambitious painting I've ever created. (The video below is a time lapse of me, setting up the THREE required easels!)

And so it begins!

Those who commissioned me to make it give appreciation in several forms:

– In money

– In trust

– In their direction to play. To make this my vision, my style.

This appreciation has me feeling so supported and loved as I create.

I treasure this.

In this beautiful energy, I give them something they'll treasure: a vivid epic painting of their beloved New England coastline.

Creating Receiving in exchange Feels like a beautiful harmony

It feels like embracing our full selves.

Embracing ourselves, it seems to me, means embracing what we are good at and what we like to do.

It means allowing others to appreciate us in money, in trust, and in gratitude.

It means trusting and empowering ourselves.

Feeling and receiving all this appreciation.

It's a beautiful harmony that is given and received by all parties.

There's something to this.

It's special.

It's life.
