Painting my story (Wednesday, May 9, 2007 - 12:00:00 AM) [Post a Comment]

I am enjoying the sumie art so much.  I ordered a sample package of rice papers.  It is so differnt to paint on then the watercolor paper.    My thoughtful stokes need to be faster, swift, and flying, breezy...  sometimes i capture those ideas.. but many times the stoke captures my truths... 

Painting my truth is what keeps me going.  When I look at others art I am kinder in my critic of it.  They are trying to tell something to the viewer and they are mixed up in the painting too.  Before my accident I always tried to keep myself out of my art. I simple wanted to create a beautiful painting. Now My art and I are one; I can not separate myself from my art even if i wanted to.

doing better (Wednesday, May 2, 2007 - 12:00:00 AM) [Post a Comment]

I have had over a week of pain less than a 2 or none at all.    It has been wonderful not to hurt.  I tire easly but I am getting stronger.  TAi chi is helping bunches.  I am looking into physcally therapy.  I have to work within insurrance and find a ride.  I paint most days even through this last brain change.  So frustrating but also its manifistations on the canvus are fasinating.

brain change paintings (Monday, April 16, 2007 - 12:00:00 AM) [Post a Comment]


I have had brain changes the past couple of days.  My eyes sight is shifty, my head is tender sore, and when i went to paint the stokes where heavy and I had trouble controlling the brush. The paintings will be labeled 'Brain change'.

survivial mode (Monday, March 19, 2007 - 12:00:00 AM) [Post a Comment]

I have not been blogging much because  I am in survival mode.  I had been trying to knit but i have had to resolve to set it aside; it is too much for my brain.  I had broken the 136 stitch  "fan and feather" pattern down to counts of 50 but it is not really working.  I can not keep count of even 50 stitches consitently enough.   I continue to try to paint, tai chi and crochet prayer shawls.  I also would like to make some crochet booties.  While I am some better than i was 6 months ago I am now facing more brain obticals.  Something continues to not be right somewhere and is keeping me physically weak.  My spirit is trying to fly and well i am not able.  I have been mourning again too.  I knew there would be more  grief to come as i  became better.  I try to do more and i am finding it difficult to do what i want.  I am fed up not being able to drive.  I  have not made the bed in months and I have no serious plans for the flowerd beds.  I tossed some seeds in the front flower bed.  Making the bed and a few house hold chores have been my markes for how i am doing.   I will blog again when there is something better to report.
