simplicity and possibility




emptiness 
which is conceptually liable 
to be mistaken for sheer nothingness 
is in fact 
the reservoir of 
infinite possibilities.

- d.t. suzuki 




'nothing to lose'. mixed media with quote by pablo neruda.

i've taken to
emptying
these gray days.

finding life in simple things:
the pouring of tea,
the richness of silence,
the light in the studio,
the mystery in the blank canvas.



 


'on longing.'  mixed media on canvas board. 24"x20".

for artists,
like the rest of us,
sooner or later notice
that the power of longing
is more durable than
the thrill of possession.

- francine prose

    1. you nailed it! calming is the key word for this season for me. which also includes less internet and less catching up with all you beautiful artists on here. but a day for that will return in time. :)
