July 30-31, 2011
The trunk of the tree is the center from which everything grows. I am finally at a point in my life where I am feeling very centered and at peace. I have come to realize that I do not “make time” for art in my life. It is a part of my life, a part of me. I work in my journals almost every single day. It may be just a small thing, but little things add up. Life is too short not to be happy. Make art a part of your life. Have a wonderful weekend!
Beautiful and soul stirring
So dynamic and color-rich!!! I LOVE that you wrote:”I have come to realize that I do not “make time” for art in my life. It is a part of my life, a part of me.”…and you know what…it shows in your journal entries, the ease in-which you have become to journal…to apply these rich layers of papers , colors, textures, and images, all seamlessly integrated and connected…so beautiful to witness.
Having the activity of ‘creating’ just like eating, moving, sleeping, as a part that makes your time here on earth is remarkable…what a great place to be Brian…I envy you for that.
