GET OUT

PADDLE WITH NO FEAR

DOWNSTREAM

above: 12x12 paintings I did this week on Littlejohn Island 

with Carol's joyous energy radiating through the studio.

"MADNESS!  WITH A LITTLE MADNESS YOU CAN CUT THE ROPES AND BE FREE."

ZORBA THE GREEK

This is one of my dear friend Carol Bass's favorite quotes!  It is important to jump ship sometimes, paint like you wouldn't normally paint--I was tentative; Carol was encouraging..."play, paint from inside, let it be direct...from in here (as she put fist to heart)" !  I was renewed, excited and she was so kind to share her passion and joy!  These very important bits and pieces of sharing nurture what's already inside us.  YES, we must keep the channel open..."cut the ropes and be free".  I met Carol almost 18 years ago and we've been dancing ever since.
