The First Silk Painting
Today i started on my first silk painting....yea, i actually stretched it a few weeks back, but didn't get to put the paint on it till today....not to digress, but bad relationships can ruin your concentration, your focus, and yes, your inspiration....so i got rid of some bad company about a month back....and it took me until today to even get the desire to paint....but since i started back, i'm on a roll and having fun once again since a very long time.....
i'm finding that painting on silk is most definitely a new experience....it's super smooth and even though it's a lot more delicate and fragile than canvas, i think with good care, it can last just as long, silk being a natural fabric also...it felt like i was painting on air, and i like it a lot....i feel inspired to start a new series in silk, even though i haven't finished my Deep Love series yet.....i can't paint on deadline....it feels too much like work then and even though it is work, i have to be feeling what i'm doing, i can't paint by number.....
if i can end this post with any kind of deeper message, i would have to say that i'm learning how much inspiration is linked to peace of mind.....and that anybody or anything that interrupts this flow has got to be eliminated from one's space....either that, or sacrafice the ability to create...........
