A blue bear, in a blue forest, on a blue planet. Did you know Black Bears can also be brown.. cinnamon in colour.
This Bear is from my newest favourite creation, to date! I think, because it's taken me 5 years (off & on) of contemplation & prayer. It's a 'cut out' on pine, I sketched on the wood, Norm cut out on the saw, I sketched again, gave it the first hint of colour and then put it aside. 7 pieces in total. All Artists do that sometimes, I do not encourage it becoming a habit.
Once I painted on the 'greens' in the woods.. something seemed off, so 'Off' it went behind my painting cart.
I forgot about it off and on the next few years, at one point I was just going to cover it all black and make start something else, but God told me to 'be patient'. :). Trust God. The Bear was added about a year ago but he sat in a box, with no paint for that year.
I started back a couple of days ago & now & I have to pry myself from my desk. I am lost in this woods painting, so many tiny details. Of course it's my favourite! It's a gift. It's personalized. Like I do. I hide stuff in the art & encourage the recipient to 'seek & ye shall find.' I am planning one for me as I work on this, it's turning out so... Peaceful!
A very Peaceful woods painting, in the woods. I thank God daily, a few times a day.. for putting us here & allowing me to paint.
I watched a WhyFiles yesterday (while painting) that I found fascinating and had me feeling a wee bit fearful. So, what do I even do with that? Is it - the more you learn, the less you sleep? hahaha. I slept fine, but I have thought about it, too much. It was about Plasma < I've included the link but maybe it's one of those 'the less you know, the better episodes.' I have decided not to investigate it further. I listened to a few Podcasts and am starting today with this peaceful music:
Just Look how peaceful his content kitty is. I can feel myself unwind only a few minutes in.
I don't know if I'll show much more of this creation, not until after it's been given, perhaps. I hope they like it, it was created with love, like everything I do. I will show you mine, after I create it. < Positive thinking or Faith full. :)
It's a wonderful feeling when you can't wait to wake up and 'create', I will admit I woke physically very sore, shed a few tears then 'get over it' sore, then I remembered what sat waiting on my desk.
Sometimes, I look at my work and think: Wow, I did that! To have it start in your mind, sketch out on paper, paint a sketch on a canvas, add colours and details... it's even better than I anticipate!!? With God, that is how all life works. Trust God.
Of myself, I can do nothing.
