Follow your inner moonlight; don't hide the madness.
~Allen Ginsberg
This painting was almost finished when I found this quote, and then I realized they were meant for each other. I began by spraying with fun inks, which is always a bit of uncertain madness. Then I just felt like a rounded brush stroke and it felt like a moon, but I thought, why a green moon? But often we don't need to think or ask why. The rest just felt right as I created, which I suppose was me standing in the moonlight, letting free my own unpolished madness onto the paper.
I think it's apropos that this quote refers to moonlight, rather than sunlight, as sometimes it's less brilliant and you have to listen a little more closely to find your inner moonlight. I am working on quieting myself and making the space so that my moonlit path is clear.
Here's wishing you a week basking in your own inner moonlight.
