Title: My frames are within

Sub Title: Now how do you reach within to see what's there?

Sometimes when I think back to the last time that I was focused I thought of painting? But the last time that was I was on this pallet of dreams that said that I would have to keep building if that is what I wanted. I did. I want to see the colors that fade in the background as well as come out forward like lilac.

So under the blue grey clouds I have been wondering what is there around the corner. What is my main foresight. The memory if it was a lane has to become easy. Right? If you turn and forget that the wind is a lot harder than you think, then your foresight can remain driven. In all painting is like so many things, so you have to see it that way and grab those items.

After choosing a pallet, the best thing you can do for yourself is gather your space and choose an area that has meaning to you. I like to sit on my couch and listen to the weather. Most time I do this and feel what the vibes say. You colors are so important, it your mood. If you paint with light blue your get the sky, and if you paint with fusia maybe too much pick.

So after your colors make you into your mood, what do they say. I want to do more desert sands and blue seas. I want to do blue grey rivers and dunes smokey grey rivers. I want to create something that breaks the patters of what it takes to outthink the colors. How do you do that? You must use small strokes. With thoughts of a path in mind.

After the wind hits the canvas the colors fade and reflect quite easily. Something done on a medium canvas can really reflect well in your living room. Maybe your chose a grey background with a lavender vase and some maroon flowers... I would choose a light blue background and pink flowers with a yellow vase and see how we compare. But to Merlot.

After a while, after the sun settles and the wine glass needs to be refilled. Feel out the colors on the canvas by breeze. dance around it and pretend to laugh in front of it. This way it gets the attention it deserves. Play some music too. Just don't start watching tv and back to the future episodes. Keep at it, until you catch the breeze. Some times to do this you have to keep practicing. Do it be it.

After all once is never enough, what you have to do is repeat what is happening a few times, so do not get discouraged when repeating the same grey dusty wind patterns. They will bring more thing in, hopefully flowers and fairys. But the winds will be around the rivers and dreams. the same things that flow in life are the same that flow in colors of how we feel.

Don't forget that this is your wind. Without it, without a spot to sit in now, what will you do? Everybody has to be something, why not be a painter? One with the colors of the rainbow. You can draw and tell for show and tell, just tell the colors of the wind. Great to be neat inside and out!
