A few days later I return to the white canvas. I pulled out my acrylic paints, brushes and other painting tools. I began to add the basic colors of red, blue, green, and yellow. A splatter here and a splatter there soon the colors were melding into one another and eventually grays appeared. I took my brush and made motions with in the grays.
Chaos it was, I tell you, chaos... that's how I felt...it was a series of emotion running through my hand onto the canvas by the time I walked away.
Another day or two went by before I returned to it. I stared at it for a long, long time.
This time I felt that it yearned something simple and soft. Aha, I'll paint a flower. I went with the Nerium Oleander in a shade of soft blue which adds a nice cooling and relaxing effect to the chaotic background. Several hours went by before I was done with the flower. I had hardly noticed the time fly by.
Some my wonder, why I chose the Nerium Oleander? Life is so much more complicated (chaotic at times) and even though there's such beauty beware--sometimes that beauty comes at a cost.
