Painting in the Present Moment

A zoom-in of my oil painting, "Lavender Woods"

"The living moment is everything."
-D.H. Lawrence


Living in the present moment allows you to really "see" beauty, colors, and shapes. If you relax your mind and absorb calmly what is around you, then you feel much more alive, energized and connected with the world, yourself, and others. Focusing only on the present moment can create a much more open mind.

By experiencing each moment in a fresh and open way, your imagination is free to emerge and play. Only then, can your unique consciousness come alive. Everything becomes easier and more clear. Happiness and excitement about life itself cause a mental freedom and an openness that allow a flowing thought process. Connecting with present, new thoughts, and acting on them can make you feel like a child again with uninhibited creativity! 

It's all about mind over matter, right? With your hands acting as the instruments of your mind, you can automatically create whatever you want to build from pure consciousness thoughts and images!
