A Little Bit of Art and Soul

It is 5 in the morning April 1, 2020 and Spirit woke me. FAITH OVER FEAR was the message I got and whatever you believe the voice in my head says stay calm, take deep breaths and create something beautiful. It does not take any experience and together we will find a place that has been my home since I was born. It was my safe place, place of worship, devotion and truth's pure light and life line. Take my hand and together we will make it through these stormy seas.

Jessel Painting Lesson One

Here is what I do. I hope you will be inspired by this concept.

I take out a piece of paper or canvas (It does not matter what size I use.)

I put on my favorite music. Pandora Music is free and wonderful.
www.pandora.com

I use Colored Pencils, Crayons, Watercolors, Acrylics Oils (Whatever I have around...even just a pencil or pen)

I find a place to work and put something under the area to protect my space

I close my eyes and think about Butterflies and the shapes and colors they come in.

I go online and google Butterflies in the Images section.

As I look through the images one or more will resonate with me. I print out the images. (If you don't have a printer keep the image on your laptop or computer screen for inspiration)

I place the butterfly somewhere on your paper. NOT IN THE MIDDLE...Usually off the one side or angled.

I begin to either copy the image/images I love or use it as a reference.
I find flowers the same way I find butterflies and surround my "flutterbys" with my magical fantasy garden.

I spend as much time as I like pausing and stepping back from the piece.
If I feel like a word belongs somewhere in the image I try to place it quietly in my creation. I

If you choose to do this exercise Please send me your pieces!

THIS IS YOUR BUTTERFLY MOMENT
Loving your HeART

Carolynne Gamble and I have been friends for over 40 years. We met in Oakland and we immediately connected as artists and spiritual souls.  She is a gift in my life and edits all these blasts!

We are working on my new book Soulful Voices and she edited all my 6 books over the past 20 years. She sent this image and I love it!
