The experience, has been truly enlightening, with some wonderful people crossing my studio door.
I have sold some work and got some commissions, but all of that pales into insignificance by the beautiful connections that I have made.
One of these touching moments came about when an older gentleman whom I knew from years ago made a special trip out to see me and my work. We quickly re-established our friendship over a cuppa. During this time, a man and his wife came in, the gentleman was unsteady on his feet and had lost his speech through a Stroke 12 years previously. He came prepared though and handed me a card explaining who he was and I discovered that he used art as a form of therapy to recover from his own health challenges.
Knowing that my friend had recently overcome health challenges also, we all very quickly formed a bond. Few words needed to be spoken, but something magical occurred. A gentle understanding that life was full of adversities, but it was kindness and love that can carry us through the tough times. Hugs and warmth infused the studio, there were no need for words, or pity stories - we all knew that stories were just that and endings can always change if we understood our own power.
As they all left, I wished them well from the bottom of my heart. I wanted to thank them for the openness and connections made. Love comes in many forms.
In other news, I completed another new painting based around the Kundalini awakening.
