If you think you know why someone or something is the way it is, move in closer to see, behold, tend, and believe in the details. If the details consume or constrict your sense of expansive truth, step back and move into the reverence of nuance, connection and remembering how everything is always responding+changing, connected. Creative energy is always a dance between knowing and unknowing.

cosmic pine / eye of the needle. a recent meditation on worlds within worlds of creation... microcosmic bits have been a constant inspiration-companion in my art for decades now, off and on. i used to love to doodle microbes and imaginary cell-like life on paper and into clay forms. I even won a drawing prize at an exhibition once for an inked body of work, ages ago. I love to go big and energetic with my art, and I love to scale down and get slow with the details and energy, too. To see the macro and the micro, the vast and the precious. Like the dance of life, I suppose.⠀ (this variation is inspired by an image by photographer Karl Deckart)⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #artmeditation #meditationart #contemplativeart #lifeisamiracle #creativepractice #artprocess #cosmicart #intuitive #colorlove #practiceinpresence⠀ ...⠀ #artdecor #natureart #abstractart #artabstraction #wallart #treeart #pineneedle #artcollection #halikarlaarts #mandalaart ⠀ ...⠀ #abstractmandala #imaginalcells #mixedmediapainting #creativeworks #creativenergy #modernart #contemporaryart #handmadeart #spiritart ⠀

Taking my Creative Practice outside with Mama Earth is one of my favorite things to do, and some warm seasons slip by so fast, I just don't do it enough! I feel this Spring urging me to make it a priority this year, to re-energize, harmonize and fill up on creative inspiration and that tingly connection only nature can give. Over the years, I've found some preferences of mixed-media supplies for venturing outside to sketch and paint, and I've shared them in a new post with some other considerations for packing light and right on my blog. Do you like to take your art practice outside? And if so, what are your must-haves for an art date with Mama Earth? . . . #creativepractice #artdate #pleinairartist #creativeprocess #outsideart #natureart #artsupplies #artheals #natureheals #bepresent ... #zenart #artmeditation #contemplativeart #beinnature #motherearthlove #artcreation #practiceart #lifeisart #artblog #earthmedicine ... #artonthego #halikarlaarts #mixedmediaart #naturesketching #communewithnature #landscapeartist #artadventure #connectwithnature
she said more with what she didn't say than with the words she used to fill the air, she shared more in how she lived her life than in the stories she captured and sold... {art journal peek+musing from my slow-art practice...}⠀ Also, a bunch of great art journaling workshops with tons of teachers are half off for just a few days. i teach in the Color edition. check out my link for 21 secrets and use the code. if you're in my upcoming Creative Practice circle, you could prep pages from the workshops and bring them to the circle to work on for our hour together - perfect! ...⠀ #musing #contemplativeart #slowart #simplelife #visualpoetry #artjournal #artjournaling #visualstory #creativepractice #creativejournaling⠀ ...⠀ #storyart #visualjournal #creativelifehappylife #keepitreal #collagejournal #intuitiveart #journalspread #arteveryday #hsp #introvert ⠀ ...⠀ #mixedmediaart #doitfortheprocess #artpages #messyjournal #abstractjournal #creativeprocess #artpractice #instaartjournal #practiceinpresence #halikarlaarts⠀
