I have one more but it has not been saved in a format I can post it... I will post Prosperity when I am sure he is done and I like him... Still not sure... Okay I am often like this about my creations and so maybe I will post him and see what you all think... but I do have to optimize him to be able to post him...

Something quite different...

Hi My Darlings...

As you know, I have been exploring the beauty of flowers at an unusually deep level...looking closely and with alertness, all the while attempting to not name what I see and paint mentally. In doing so, I find am able to achieve a greater state of Presence in the act of painting as I contemplate the spirit within, not only the flower, but my being. This process has led to what is undoubtedly the most abstract painting I have ever created and I am finally able to share it with you today. Although it is exquisically abstract, I am hoping that by looking to it you will feel a stronger sense of peace and joy during this 2007 holiday season. Be Blessed, My Dear Ones...

Here it is.

When a person is in the Knowing and they allow the flow to move them, they change the world around them...I believe you are in the knowing!

A question Pamela

My Granddaughter who I showed you her art earlier in this thread, is here at my house and she has some questions about how to do this type of art. What would be the best materials to get for this type of medium?
I hope you don't mind sharing your abilities with question about the 'How To', but she is really amazed by your abilities and wants to begin to move into in watercolors, she knows it is a difficult form to use and does not forgive mistakes. But, she is really interested!!!
Thanks in advances sweetie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Keoi,
The best place to start with watercolors would be to start to master the basics of the medium. You can buy her a book on watercolors. One of the important things to remember about Watercolors is what is referred to as the white space... In watercolors you don't paint with white paint, but the white or the negative space is actually space on the pater that is left blank white paper. There are masks you use to do that (rubber substance that rub off and keep the paint from sticking). The Transparent watercolors as Pamela uses need to stay transparent, so you don't build them up like other mediums, but let each shine... Although my father use to stick his paintings into the shower... LOL and then add a new layer... traditional watercolors are just a single layer! The best way to learn a new medium is to play with it!

Once you get the basics down, then you just move forward till you find your style. Mine has always been whimsical, but the goal is to get to the point where you discover that place where creativity reigns King! That is just being in the presence of your work, and the rest of the world disapears, and that is where your best work is done. She needs to find her favorite subject or make up one if she wants, but whatever she is painting she needs to love painting. I can and recently did paint and old 1940's crawler (a car built from all different parts and pieces from a junk yard... not even all the same makes or models), and it is well done and quite nice, but to be honest painting that was not like painting or illustrating my faeries! Whatever she is doing just make it her own and work on developing her style and she will love doing it!

Keoi and others

Just in case you are wondering... The Crawler is not done in Transparent Watercolors... It was either done in Acrylic or Opaque Watercolors... Sorry don't remember. Opaque Watercolors are called Guache (spelling may not be right)
