Life flows on within you and without you.
~George Harrison
This quote always intrigues me and leaves me thinking of the layers it has to offer. I am lucky to have a Mum who loved the Beatles, so that, growing up, I was able to find their "amazingness" and lay for hours listening and contemplating life. I love them all, but George may have been my favourite. He wrote some deep songs. What does this quote mean to you? Oh the possibilities...
This painting:
As with life, I had a different vision before I began, but this turned into something else entirely. Both the piece still in my head, and the actual result are beautiful, so this keeps me painting. I used an Aquaboard for this, and the possibility of the unknown is always the draw. I added so much liquid- water and ink, that these abstract swirling trees flowed and this quote came to mind. And so I decided to leave it as is and not try to embellish the flow. (This is glittering and amazing in person, so I am realizing that I may need to take that Jane Davenport course where I learn to scan my images sooner than later...) If you are ever nearby and want to see it in person, then that can be arranged... ;)
The other painting to go with the other quote may come to be on another day.
Enjoy the flow.
