I have this hefty pile of color field paintings that have been moonlighting as dust collectors for almost 2 years now. I’ve been saving them for that special moment when inspiration shows up wearing stilettos. Friends, that moment came last night — right around 9:38pm & I documented the occasion over on my Instagram Stories. It’s not as sexy as it sounds. Though luckily morning has been much more promising. 🎨😘⭐️ .. .. .. #dirtyfootprintsstudio #fearlesspainting #mixedmedia #painting #art #artist #abstraction #paintsketch #paintingthefeminine #dailypainting #creativeprocess #creativepractice
I had this dream last night that I was standing in the middle of a crowd at a very loud concert & all the people there were in their 20s, 30s, & 40s & I was the oldest one. In my dream I was 89 years old. It’s kind of funny that I knew that — but I did! As I stood there staring at how much my hands had aged, women kept coming up to me & telling me about their lives & showing me photos of their artwork on their phones. I kept taking their hands in mine as I talked to them very gently & softly even though the concert was super loud. What I remember most is this feeling of incredible deep love that washed over me each time I held their hands. In my dream I knew that right now in my life that I am making the right decision in something that I have been agonizing over all this year. A decision that scares me because I need to take a huge risk & because the solution I was seeking is not something I would have mentally chosen for myself. Instead it’s what my heart has kept pushing me to do, but I’ve been equally pushing back. .. .. There’s no doubt in my mind that this dream was from my future self. No doubt at all. And all those women that kept coming up to me were simply younger parts of myself needing comfort & reassurance that we’ll all be ok. That no matter what, we’ll make it through to the other side — as if there actually is an “other side” after all. This dream reminded me that there’s nothing to let go of or to gain — because in some strange mysterious way, it’s all happening all at once. .. .. #dirtyfootprintsstudio #dailysketch #inktober #penandink #sketch #sketchbook #pittpens #drawing #linedrawing #visualjournal #visuallanguage #dream #creativeprocess #creativepractice #ink #art #artist
