After letting go and liberating yourself from the block… you’ll find pure joy. That’s all I got for today. My mind is blank. I’ll also have to do some minor tweaks on this painting. But I thought I would share a quote : "I dance in the rain, because I know I'll never get this … Continue reading Day 19: Finding Pure Joy
Following my last post, about keeping your fears alive, here’s my attempt at offering a solution through a really bad poem: “Letting go” Let go the fears that hold you tight Let go the doubts that cloud your light. Release your thoughts holding you back Release those burdens, take off that mask. Find the strength … Continue reading Day 18- Letting go- unburdened your life
Yesterday, I faced a creative fiasco. My painting was a disaster, and I felt like I lost all painting skills. But today, I found inspiration in that frustration.

But this painting can … Continue reading Day 17- Breaking Free from Artist’s Block: A Personal Journey

She said : a bird … Continue reading Day 13- Le chickadee, a winter scene
Mid January and the golden threads are still showing through the little blanket of snow. Mid January! I remember when I was a kid, we had tunnels through the mountain of snow next to our driveway. It was a true winter wonderland: snow sculptures, skiing, that sliding on the golf course’s second hole, that “tag” … Continue reading Day 12- Winter art: inspired by snowy fields and springtime hope.
Yesterday I did something in memory of my mom, and it got me thinking about other family members that are no longer with us. My uncle and my grandad were both very good woodworkers, always fabricating something. So, here’s a little painting in their honor. Le woodworker, 8x8 acrylic on plywood While it's not my … Continue reading Day 11- Le woodworker
