Brancher


I get excited when I haven't the faintest
idea of what to make and then something
just appears, as if the gift of some clever
strange patchwork divinity!

Excitement times 10


Kipper goes wherever my friend Linda
goes, and he came to visit last night.
We had a very exciting, excited visit!

Excited questions...


I have heard, though am not sure it's true, 
that excitement and fear are neurologically similar experiences.

So I wonder, what makes one morph into another?
How do they shift and change?  
How does this manifest differently for each person?
What do I notice about my own process?

Today, at least, I notice that experimenting, 
following the next impulse, having a sense of humor,
holding it lightly, turns my fear into excitement.

Of course it does help that the sun is out.....

A delicate balance


It was challenging to get the elements
balanced enough to photograph this.
and interesting enough to try again.

Just happened to....


Find that this image was the one that I didn't have a problem with uploading this morning.  So I guess this is it, even though I had another plan.  So much for plans!

Back to basics


Friendly co-chin from the planet Wha.
                                         

Surprise appearance. Name: Aarav



Oh, I had all kinds of interesting issues and insights with this.  First, I'm coloring in red and black and this image is looking very different from what I had expected.  Then, as it's clearly done, I finally realize it's a MAN, I put him next to Fajyaz, and they belong together. It's simple.

But.... then I Think about It. 

I expected this to be a woman, and I had a plan, all images of these babes  would have their own photograph.  The guy should also have his own too, only fair, right?  Well, I scoured my house for backgrounds and foregrounds and none worked and I made a mess in my little studio. 

And realized that, first thought best thought, Simple. I had ignored what I clearly knew to begin with when it was an aha realization and not a plan that had to fit yesterdays idea.  
So, good for me to remember: When I think I'm the do-er. I often end up realizing that thinking has nothing to do with it.

Fajyaz in the fleurs


I'm finding that having decided what I will do this week, I am laboring more rather than just following the next impulse.  I realize I can change course anytime, but I'm also interested in just observing the process to see what comes of it....
