HAPPY Two - OH - One - Four, "The year of GOOD things GALORE"!

Happy Two - OH - One Four, "The year of GOOD things GALORE"!

~

 Adam Sawatsky, Victoria's much loved & respected media personality

(Monday Magazine, CTV News and CFAX Broadcasting),

asked me to offer one piece of advise for 

those who would like to resolve to be more creative in 2014. 

~

So I responded,

“Put your hands in the air, like you don’t care!” 

With your hands in the air, wiggle them and the rest of yourself 
all about, like a carefree child. This movement
 awakens playful, experimental energy and,
 with hands in the air, the posture says; dive in,
 create, explore, see what happens next,

 allow your creation to develop the way that it wants,

 go wherever it takes you. 

Whether painting in my studio
 or out of doors (en plein air) this “technique”

 gives me the freedom to enjoy wherever
 the creative process takes me. 

And, it takes me to Linnyland, and many other wonderful places!"

Here is Adam's Monday Magazine article:

Happy wiggles from Linnyland!!

View from Ravenhill Farm SOLD

I enjoyed a painting adventure to the

Ravenhill Farm on the Saanich Peninsula

with the Al Fresco non-group last Friday

and this little sketch

is the result.

I set up at the edge of the farm,

facing southwest toward Brentwood Bay and Todd Inlet.

Before I started to paint I raised my arms above my head,

waved them about and declared,

"Put your hands in the air, like you don't care!"

(It's a fun and freeing way in which to start a painting -

and a great motto for living life!)
