You cannot eat a cluster of grapes at once, but it You cannot eat a cluster of grapes at once, but it is very easy if you eat them one by one. —Jacques Roumain ……. Multi-tasking is overrated. We all do it, and, sure, it makes sense sometimes. But here’s what I think are better ideas: Savor moments. Be present. Listen well. Speak thoughtfully. Pay attention to what’s at hand. And for goodness sake, don’t rush so much that you miss the beautiful parts. . . #watercolor #art #fineart #originalart #grapes #simplicity #presence #artmusings
This one feels like “Summer Rain”. (A little o This one feels like “Summer Rain”. (A little off season; don’t know what to say about that!) Started out as one thing, became another. And it may yet evolve into something else. Such is the process at times. Sometimes you hit the mark, sometimes the mark hits you. Sometimes it’s a passing visit, sometimes it lingers. Not unlike some life experiences. 🤷‍♀️ . . #fineart #originalart #abstractart #musings

Sometimes - some might argue always - and perhaps Sometimes - some might argue always - and perhaps more than we realize - artist’s creations are essentially self-portraits. Markers in time; the self-expression of an unvoiced, unknown subconscious realm. And it’s often only in retrospect that we see what it was about - or someone else sees it for us - which I find really interesting. This is definitely one of the those pieces for me. It wasn’t til long after its completion that “ohhhhhh, THAT’S why!” became more clear. (Maybe one day I’ll explain it, but for now I’ll leave it for your own interpretation.) Ultimately, a piece of art is both a window and a mirror to the soul, for both the maker and the observer. No two responses will be the same, and that’s kind of marvelous. “Suspended” / 9x12 / oil on canvas . . #artistmusings #oilpainting #fineart #apple #greenapple #bluesky #contemporaryart #surrealpainting #creativity #imagination #expression #subconsciousmind #originalart
