Painting Meditation

2/15/2023

Using painting as a vehicle for personal transformation and empowerment involves embracing several key principles. These include expanding your boundaries, softening your edges, going with the flow, being present with each moment, accepting what "is" instead of what you think "should be," and embracing change and surprises.

By expanding your boundaries, you allow yourself to explore new techniques, materials, and subject matter, which can lead to personal growth and creative breakthroughs. Softening your edges involves letting go of rigid expectations and perfectionism, and allowing yourself to embrace the imperfections and spontaneity that arise in the creative process.

Going with the flow means being open to where the art takes you, without being attached to a particular outcome or result. Being present with each moment means bringing your full attention and awareness to the creative process, without being distracted by thoughts of the past or future.

Accepting what "is" rather than what you think "should be" involves letting go of judgments and expectations about the art, and allowing it to be what it is. Finally, embracing change and surprises means being open to the unexpected twists and turns that arise in the creative process, and using them as opportunities for growth and exploration.
​

By embodying these principles in your painting practice, you can transform not only your art but also your sense of self, as you cultivate greater openness, presence, and empowerment in all aspects of your life.

    This blog was created to share my belief that the art-making process is a catalyst for transformation and personal empowerment. I am living proof.
