Song - While My Guitar Gently Weeps by George Harrison
Wishing you A Very Happy 2013!
I still have a house full of "Christmas" because I am painting like crazy to get some new pieces ready for a show going up next week at the Lafayette Gallery "Tokens of Affection"!
It feels so wonderful to be painting again!! Yippee!
Here is one of Sergio Romo on the final game of the Division Championship. I still need to work on the rain, the shadow color under his arm and the background crowd a little but I just love the energy in this painting!

I will show it to you when it's finished!
If you have never heard of "One Little Word", check it out on Ali Edwards site or on Big Picture Classes.
In 2010 I chose the word "intention" for me to use for the upcoming New Year. It turned out to be a great word as I would pause and set an intention (or game plan) before moving forward.
Last year it was "balance" which ended up being too general of a word for me.
During the last month, I have been "feeling out words" for 2013.
I have narrowed it down to several which each has a pull for me.
Grace
Inspire
Lighten
Mindful
Purposeful
Serenity
But one word that is sticking with me is "Simplify". As my life gets more and more complicated, simplifying feels like breathing room.
A concious effort must be made to simplify anything - paperwork, household possesions, shopping, eating....every thing that piles up!
According to the dictionary -
b: to diminish in scope or complexity : streamline <was urged to simplify management procedures>
c: to make more intelligible : clarify
‘In proportion as he simplifies his life, the laws of the universe will appear less complex, and solitude will not be solitude, nor poverty poverty, nor weakness weakness.’ ~Henry David Thoreau
