Spring Cleaning
I didn’t get much done in the studio yesterday, but was I ever busy with Spring cleaning!
I spent most of the day raking and cleaning up the backyard, and I was one tired puppy when I finished. I had planned on getting some work done in the studio, but that never happened.
My plan for tomorrow is to get back in the studio and work some more on the painting below.
The imagery came from two dreams I had recently. One dream was about a beautiful portal floating over water, the other was of a large winged bird creature surrounded by fire.
The creature was so beautiful, and I could feel the wind from his wings brush against my face as he flew across the sky.
There was a full moon riding high across the sky and I was dancing below as the bird flew overhead as if we were participating in some ancient tribal ritual from the distant past.
In my dream, I somehow knew the creature was a messenger and guardian.

The Vernal Equinox
Happy Vernal Equinox!
I have been out and about enjoying the nice weather, taking lots of photos. I love the sense of renewal that comes with Spring!
I have also been hard at work in my studio painting a new piece which features a portal and an abstract bird. I will post it in a couple of days or so.

“Spontaneity is the quality of being able to do something just because you feel like it at the moment, of trusting your instincts, of taking yourself by surprise and snatching from the clutches of your well-organized routine a bit of unscheduled pleasure.” -Richard Iannelli
