Can You Shift The Response?
I picked up a painting from the “Mango Madness Exhibit”, sponsored by, The Studios of Key West. The painting is called, “Mango in the Moon’s Shadow”, which was dropped off in July for the 2020 first time virtual exhibit. This painting is completed in oil on a wood panel 14” X18”.
A good moment anytime the paint hits the board.
In arriving home with the painting you can see a scratch in the middle of the painting on the right. With a momentary, “OH NO”, no longer the painting for an exhibition but a damaged art piece.
STOP
shift the thinking from sadness to opportunity in exploring the options to rework the, “Mango in the Moon’s Shadow” painting. Easy to move into the misery state,
Every year, The Studios Of Key West, features an exhibit called, “Mango Madness” inviting artist to present their own art work. One evening I was observing the full moon on the Florida Bay and decided that madness and the moon have a close relationship as in luna, lunacy, or lunatic. The concept was put into the painting you see on the left. All was good until the transport home.
Or make a shift in the way we see, How we respond, How we can renew?
A Happy Solution.
Out comes the paint and with another chance, like the moon and all the phases so shall this painting show a different phase. These lessons show up regularly the outcome is our choice to see and respond. This painting is not hanging in the virtual show but can be seen here on the website.
The nature of the moon is calm and peaceful, shows intelligence and imagination. This painting fits those with creative style full of imagination who is looking for the peace and calm to be added to a room.
