Paintings for Sale

Lisa poured out The Thin Places for all to see. And in her hand the bending spree, in wistful, flowing, calming traumic interface, the witness be. Thinness of distinction. Thinness of discrepancy. The space between, the space unseen, the space where the twilight and the knowing sheen, find in each other the harmonic mean.

Spices emanating upward from the nestled mandala-savory-space, lubricating the nostrils with memories chased from deeper places sight unseen. Light and scent (!), we enter the scene, diving in towards the hidden seam. Paintings cast in measured care, with wildness constrained by just the bare mounts in the frames ringing evenly the room, holding in each a lingering tune, of the place where spirit and thisness meet.

A lozenge for the eyes and mind. Symmetries nestled in fun-filled calling mysteries bind. Pneuma. Anasazi. Darknesses, incomplete, faint, whistling memories that you barely taste again. The deeper reaches of the mind, trickling away in kind. Lingering whispers haunting so, bartered through the colors claimed in Ka and Bardo, the journey from each piece to another bringing with it a glancing blow. A living, feeling, beautiful, explosion inward away from the evening glow.

Linearity in Lil, shocking still, organized and regal. Containment stressed on that thinness undressed thoroughly saturating the acrylic finesse of boundary and order on yet another sinking beckoning regress. Moving me back and out and around, to touch and caress, the space, the place, my girl’s soft press. The art, for me, is a seeping, see, from hand and thought outward, and in to me. The expressions from you are a simple plea, for a return, a dance, some part of me.

Art that inspires, art that plants a seed, art that pushes and bleeds.

A key principle in realizing our oneness with the Tao is that of wu-wei, or "non-doing." Wu-wei refers to behavior that arises from a sense of oneself as connected to others and to one's environment. It is not motivated by a sense of separateness. It is action that is spontaneous and effortless. At the same time it is not to be considered inertia, laziness, or mere passivity. Rather, it is the experience of going with the grain or swimming with the current. Our contemporary expression, "going with the flow," is a direct expression of this fundamental Taoist principle, which in its most basic form refers to behavior occurring in response to the flow of the Tao

Ducks and Order

It looks like I have all my ducks are in order, but something is missing. What is it?
I have sold my work,I have an artist statement, I have an MFA, I have large body of work,I have been in galleries, I started a gallery, I have curated exhibitions, I have been in the media, I am showing in a corporation and the very cool thing is I have an art rep now. Also, I am in a really productive art activist collaboration-Art is Moving. We have received grants, we have published a book, and we have developed a pretty successful BLOG Art is Moving. Also, over the past four years I developed an amazing healing and transformative art program for Severely Emotionally Disturbed children. I think I have made a positive difference and empowered many children through the revealation of their gift, which is ART. Here is an example of some of the projects and exhibitions that I have created for the children Art of Transformation
It looks like a lot on paper, but I still feel that something is missing. I hate to say it but it is monetary. I am sick of struggling and I want to make a living off being an artist. It seems things have not taken off as fast as I have wanted. How does one take the next step or how does one do it?

I feel I need more order and then it will all happen. I think it is time to make a list. I have a zillion journals with lists and more lists, I thought it might be more powerful to put into virtual reality and see what happens.
