A Little Bit of Art and Soul

Parameters of Love & Art

Dolphins, Whales and Seals, Giclee on Canvas, Jessel Miller
Over the past several months I have been learning lessons about loving and painting with abandon.

For several years I devoted myself to certain styles and relationships in my life and this year a huge shift happened and my whole perspective changed in both my direction artistically and personally.

I had a pattern set up in my creative process and was going along doing the same art that I had done for 10 years. A personal relationship shift facilitated a huge change in my direction artistically.

It was time to be brave and try something new or perhaps visit some of the old me and reinvent the concepts. I was cleaning out one of the frame shop drawers and I came upon a giclee of one of my favorite (what I called spiritual) pieces done in the late 1970’s. At the time I was deeply invested in my  songwriting career and the piece was the title of a song called Dolphins, Whales and Seals.  I was then, as I am even more now, concerned about our planet and the fragile thread that binds us all together...the environment. I had my framer stretch the canvas giclees and when I put them up on the wall I was struck by the story being told. It was almost like I could see the future and even then expressed my fears of what could happen if we do not respect this tiny planet we all inhabit.

I have set up a place on the roof of my building to paint large canvases and let go to something new in my heart and my art.

A dear friend who was watching me struggle with the changes aptly put it when she said “life is short and getting shorter” There is no time to waste and all we have is today so with this in mind, like many of my students, I jump into a new world bravely knowing there is much to still be discovered in my creative process.

To being brave...
