Anger, the new pink.

I am not supposed to EVEN be showing this piece of art (on the left) but I just had to. And I promise not to put it on my website, facebook or myspace. I was going to wait until my show but I'm still learning that virtue called, what is it again? Oh, yes...patience. It's my newest piece and I call it "You Make Me Want to Fly". It was one of my most difficult pieces ever. Why? Because my ego was trying to run the show the whole time. I was so frustrated the ENTIRE process. I was like "GOD! This painting f-ing sucks, I hate my life". Lol, yeah, that kind of stuff. It's true. I can't even believe I finished it and to see it in person...it is delicious.

If I could trust the process of creating a little bit more I think it would help with the constant self-sabotage and temper tantrums I am throwing against myself. But I'm working on it. My ego keeps telling me I am running out of time and it's making me compare myself to other people I don't even know. I want to have my ego shot so I can freely prance around rainbow land. Working on this too :)

Well this piece is on a wood panel, 10 in. x 10 in., and I used so many things to make it. Here's the list: spray paint (gold!), acrylic paint, my old school typewriter, graphite, photos, poetry, ink (pearlescent!), and pen. I'm starting to believe and own that I am an artist. One hint that I am beginning to take note of is that my heart rate goes up when I think of creating art and I feel stimulated like I just drank 3 Pepsi's whenever I see bright colors. I'll tell you my 3 most favorite colors that make my heart palpitate. Fuschia, turquoise, and Indian yellow. I know there is a God because he/she/the universe made these colors. Shot out to the universe, boo-yah!

peace and love, and remember...face your fears. It hurts, but I'm finding it hurts more not to.
