Cheshire Cat We're all mad here. 8 x 8 gouache on black
Something for little fun with an added pop of pink'. Disney's Alice in Wonderland has me thinking hey used Gouache on the background art. It's very colourful -the garden scene in particular with it's stylistic leaves, full of swirls and contrasting colours is a work of art in itself. It's definitely a movie I watch a few times just to appreciate the background art, and be inspired by it. "We're all mad here" - famous lines from the Cheshire Cat- I think you have to be a little mad in order to cope.
There are some things in the news & on social media -I think to myself - this is mad, crazy, insane or just plain wrong. How have we let' certain things happen - or are happening without pointing out the obvious - this is mad! I'm at a loss for words about specific topics, many I don't want to acknowledge with words', I feel it's just an excuse to divide and create anger, animosity between us' & there's already enough of that. That being said, I understand tensions getting high and anger increasing about many issues, especially those pertaining to children and abuse, abuse that can effect them mentally & also physically for the rest of their lives. If I feel myself becoming agitated, I turn social media off... I'd rather walk away than partake in topics I don't agree with. It's too easy to get caught up in negative comments, I remind myself -I have things to do. You know, things before social media, things to do before cell phones - laundry, gardening, dog cuddling, painting. Admitting reading and trying to live by The Word of God I am constantly reminding myself: Do Not Judge.
& for things I find upsetting and disagree with, knowing God will judge - I have to let it go and focus on other things.
Russell Brand just reminded me and put it perfectly - Jesus & his last words :
Forgive them Father, they know not what they do.
They don't know what they are doing.. the damage they are causing, the effect their greed is having, why they say what they say, do what they do or understand the long term ramifications of their actions. Do any of us know at 20 how our decisions will effect us at 60? Probably not. For those doing evil or hurtful things.. one day, someone will judge.
Not me, not today. This doesn't mean I agree with things, events or situations... I just choose not to contribute to the madness. I choose to focus on LOVE & gratitude for the Creator of Love, God.
Created to create- I'm going to go paint something beautiful -full of LOVE.
