Day 232– I didn’t feel like staying home this evening and so I decided I am going to have my artist’s date today. I didn’t have anything specific in mind, just a vague idea that I want to walk to city center and then maybe go to a movie. But after a few minutes of walk I just knew where I am going – the little art store on the way, and I knew I am getting paints. I went in and bought some paints and brushes and a little palate and went back home. I put on blaring music, took out my sketch book and started painting, from the heart, not anything with specific shape, just color and texture. It feels so good to do that, no rules, no forms, no criticism, just sheer fun. I had so much fun that after I was done with the first painting I put it aside to dry and took another sketch book and started to paint another one, and here something very interesting happened. My plan was to use the blue as a background, let it dry and paint on top of it, but as I was working I suddenly realized that a face of a woman is peaking between my brush strokes. This was something I didn’t paint it just suddenly formed itself under my brush strokes, like magic. And if this is not enough, after I was done painting I put on the music in full volume and just danced it from within. Lights off, scented candles on and Gilberto Gil amazing voice – what an experience!! Talking about getting connected – this one just goes through and through.
I am thankful for an amazing evening. I am so thankful I find these amazing ideas in me and I follow up on them. I am thankful for the present of music and dance. I am thankful for the first form of art that revealed itself to me, that came effortlessly. I am thankful most of all for a magical evening.
