Calm in the Chaos

Calm in the Chaos - 

A busy background is my typical starting place.   I have to get this chaos out of my head and put it on the canvas…unload the burden of my very active brain.   My day is rush rush rush…rush to get out of bed, to accomplish all that is ahead of me from the responsibility as a parent, spouse, job, sometimes my writing practice helps, but it’s still a struggle to find peace….

I struggle at times to make space for this creative time.  So, I get into my art studio and I just have all this energy I need to get rid of…and that is the creation of my next background.

After the chaos is out of me and on the canvas, I can breathe again.  Ahhhhh, then I get this calm feeling as I put something on top of that background.  Sometimes a woman pondering life, dreaming of peace.   Somehow in her face, I see and feel peace and strength.  I too - can get that peaceful among all the chaos of the world, of my life.

Feel that way too?  What brings you peace?  This piece does it for me….
