NOTE TO MY INNER CRITIC


Stop!

Get out of my way!

I want to paint!

I want to paint all those beautiful shapes

and rainbows of color

exploding like fireworks

dancing like fairies

erupting like passionate love

coming at me from the farthest edges of the Universe!
 
 

I sit, quietly, hiding in the corner, from

that big, colorful universe called "Life."

I'm a little afraid that all that love might just crush me.

I'm still not quite sure that

Love doesn't hurt.

I make myself rise and take a few tentative steps.

Oh Look!

The Universe has asked me to dance!


Hiding safely in the shadows

I wonder.

If I come into the light,

Will my own brilliant beauty blind me?



I am grateful for The Artist's Way.

Sharon,

You're taking your art to a whole different level!

Dance on,

Sharon Kay said...

Joye...Bless you! I shall try!

Sharon Kay said...

Leslie...that damned inner critic almost responded..."thanks...but I don't know if I can do that anymore. These were just a fluke!" LOL
To that, I will reply,
"Get thee behind me, you demonic bitch!"

Jordan expresses his soul with his music, you with your painting. I have these beautiful people in my life that share their art with friends and family. the dancing paint brush is so neat. I picked up some craft paint and painted my outdoor wood stools with flowers and vines, my first project, hard work but very rewarding! love you
