Playtime: The Soul's Work


"Texas Pastures" 10x8" acrylic demo

This is a demo I did at an art store recently. It's different from my usual work...I'm just playing with another medium and chillin' out to the music, loving the pink.

From "Coming Home to Myself" by Marion Woodman:

"If play is the work of the soul, imagination is its language...Play and imagination are the raw material of adult self-expression in the arts. Children don't need to be talented to enjoy painting or dancing; they do it because they enjoy it. Adults do not need talent either, just a willingness to let go of set ideas about what it means to express themselves in the arts."

An hour a day



Where can I find an hour a day?

To turn away from duty,
to release that energy
into something creative for myself
is like being tossed into a washing machine.

Can I really believe
I am worth an hour a day?

Am I, who have given my life to others,
selfish enough to take one hour a day
to find myself?
