ART and MINDFULNESS

Like most children I was spontaneous. I loved drawing and painting. I spent hours, sitting quietly, making pictures.  In the course of growing, rules, correctness, 'advice' and perfectionism robbed me of this pleasure. But, I never, truly, quite lost the urge. I studied art history, which taught me to train the eye over thousands of objects and to mature aesthetically, and still, occcasionally, I drew.

I find this sort of creativity absorbing as it focuses me on the present moment which brings joy and Energy and calms my mind.

Perfectionism can't exist in the present moment.

I hope you like some of my moments.
