I wish i was that good! Its actually titled 'in the flow'and i thought it was apt ;) Its one of my fave pieces. I'm getting into zen painting techniques and Tara Moorman & Jeanne Carbonetti are my two fave artists right now. I'm trying to adapt to their style by copying their work. I have not yet finished my version of this painting.... *sigh*<br /><br />Flow activities are the way forward. If i could i would spend my life doing them: cooking, painting, gardening, yoga... even sex ;) We should start a support group for ppl who are addicted like us lolthe.lifestyle.artisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13031560397478922935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-274583065108645128.post-23036328485041761152009-04-14T20:49:00.000+01:002009-04-14T20:49:00.000+01:00Did you do that beautiful painting?

That "Flow" feeling you've described is spot on. Sometimes, when I'm really into my canvas, I enter an amazing trancelike state, from which I do not emerge for hours and hours.<br /><br /> Sometimes, I go into the studio in the morning and have no idea what I've painted. <br /><br />Flow activities ROCK! And so do you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-274583065108645128.post-65089701616633564782009-04-12T14:08:00.000+01:002009-04-12T14:08:00.000+01:00Thats what i'm reading ;) I think he was the guy w...Thats what i'm reading ;) I think he was the guy who first started the concept of positive psychology lol ;)the.lifestyle.artisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13031560397478922935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-274583065108645128.post-91647508275360059602009-04-10T23:26:00.000+01:002009-04-10T23:26:00.000+01:00there's actually a book about this called FLOW by ...there's actually a book about this called FLOW by leading pyschologist in the subject of creativity/happiness Mihalyi Cziksentmilhyi....(i know i butchered that. i'm too lazy to google his name) i'd recommend it! <BR/><BR/>great picture.floretahttp://floretacui.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
