What I want to say is
that the past, is the past,
and the present is what your life is,
and you are capable
of choosing what that will be,
darling citizen.
that the past, is the past,
and the present is what your life is,
and you are capable
of choosing what that will be,
darling citizen.
So come to the pond,
or the river of your imagination,
or the harbor of your longing,
and put your lips to the world.
And live your life.
or the river of your imagination,
or the harbor of your longing,
and put your lips to the world.
And live your life.
- From a poem Mornings at Blackwater by Mary Oliver
When painting with Gouache on paper, I allowed a different voice within to speak. It asked me to slow down the process. It suggested I play with images from the past and bring them imaginatively into the present. It intuitively felt right to paint these paintings, and I enjoyed creating them. I hope they spark a memory or feeling for you from your experience of life.
