“Hello, I Am Flower” is a representation of the Flower Diva. Or to be a little more scientific, a morphic field pattern of flowers. Thanks to Rupert Sheldrake for his morphic field concept.

To the trees, it’s just family. Blood brothers and sisters. Like the fingers of a hand they all appear separate, but they’re really more like one organism, connected through the root system.
Yet of course they’re both, a stately procession of beautiful trees, and a family unit, and we can hold both those ideas in our minds at the same time. And appreciate our plant cousins even more because of it.

Sometimes we get so impatient because we want to get from here to there right away. But more often than not, our journey is a series of small steps, deliberately and carefully navigated over the unknown depths.
Sure, some of us can dive in and just swim to the other shore. But not me. I need stepping stones.
Thankfully, those who have gone before us have placed some there for us. The journey is still ours to walk mindfully, but thanks to others we have a path. A path where perhaps we can add a stepping stone or two for those who come after us.

Tekakwitha is awfully good at coming up with titles. I really like this one.
I think the technique is progressing nicely — I’m pretty happy with this one. I have another, sort of a sister painting to this one, but it’s perched on my easel because it just needs something. I have a vague idea of what, but I’m not ready to commit yet.
Painting — the way I paint at least — is always an example of MLK’s saying (and I know I’m going to misquote him here) “you don’t have to see the whole staircase to take the first step.” Or something like that.
I almost always get to a point in a painting where I think this is not going well, I’ve ruined it. Then I launch a desperate rescue operation. Which usually works out. Some pieces end up in the pile of shame, but thankfully only a very few. Almost always I can pull it off, and I’m happy with the final result. Like I planned it that way all along. Like with this one. 😏

Well of course the river rocks! But also of course I’m talking about the rocks in the river. Which also rock, because as you can see, they’re living rocks. Everything is energy, everything has life and awareness, even though we might not recognize it as such.
Each rock is its own energy system. Every river is its own energy system. Then the river and the rocks together are a higher energy system. Much like the cells in our body are individual energy systems, as are the more complex tissues, on to our organs, and finally our entire human self.
It’s worth keeping in mind that all of reality is an infinitely nested series of energies with ever more complex and beautiful types of life and awareness.

Me listening to a podcast and forgetting I had the headphones on when I took the picture.
I’m working with larger sizes and larger drill bits. And therefore more detail in the dots, which I’m really enjoying. The magical ethereal effect is just magnified.
And yes, I’m having as much fun as it looks like!

A magical stroll to the river for a few moments of peace. The river soothes, and as always, teaches. How could it always be the same river yet never the same?
Like life — my life, any life. Always the same life, but moment to moment never exactly the same, even if only because I’m a moment older than the moment before. Thoughts and emotions have moved through me and even if I don’t feel particularly different, I’m subtly different every moment.
And yet I’m still myself. The river of me.

Just for a change of scenery, we’re looking down on the landscape in this one. Sometimes you want to be among the trees, but sometimes you need the long view.

11.5″x11.25″ (approximately) Acrylic on reclaimed wood. $288.00
This work is painted on reclaimed wood, so the dimensions are approximate. Also, the sides might not be perfectly straight, but they’re close. I’ve left the edges of this painting unpainted, letting the raw wood show just to keep in the spirit of recycling. I’ve also attached a black paracord and wall bumpers to the back for easy hanging, though of course you’re welcome to have it framed if that’s your preference.
For those of you curious about why I paint this way:
My mother appeared to me outside a window of my house about a dozen years after she passed away. She was standing in gently rolling fields of living, aware flowers of the most unearthly beauty — colors that don’t exist on earth. Many years before that, my experiences with entheogenic substances caused me to perceive the world in a new way.
And what that has to do with the way I paint is everything.
I can’t reproduce the colors or textures from those experiences, but these Sparks of Joy are as close as I can come. And yes, it’s a very joyful experience when you see the world like this. I don’t mean literally as in “seeing things” but knowing that this is the reality of the way the world is made, that behind and beyond the mundane outward appearances there is a magical substrate: well, the joy that brings me is something I want to share with anyone who chooses to bring my art into their lives.
