My Discoveries, My Journey

We have started a painting group! Some friends of mine paint once a week and pick a painting to inspire our creative thought. We usually all end up with completely different creations that amaze all of us. There isn't any formal instruction so we sort of go by our own rules. I'm quite a free spirit so painting without rules is right up my alley. I'm so grateful that I'm actually able to paint without being so critical of myself. Painting is a Journey and I like to think it's a Journey of Self Discovery.


When painting I try to stear away from perfection, each stroke takes me to a different idea or possiblity. I would like to say thank you to all of the wonderful artists on my blog that have inspired me. Far from perfection, but on my own Creative path I have begun to paint.

            Journey of A Creative Mind

   A very talented fellow I met on Yahoo 360 while blogging posted this beautiful painting.on his page.When I first saw this  painting it stirred up so many emotions inside me, it inspired me tremedously. I see a woman peaceful and serene at the same time naked an unihibited. I wish you could see the wonderful strokes and the true painting, it would not upload. When I saw this painting I sort of owned it as if it was speaking to my inner soul and knew me so well. When I write a Poem or a "Mind Blast" I find a painting that inspires and compliments my thought process while creating and writing the piece.

                                                     Journey Of A Creative Mind

                                                        by: Karina D'Aunoy

To the depths of my inner being

I  search for my peace

I cry to the heavens

The answers I yearned for daily

Solitary in thought

Pondering my destiny

Shackled by disbelief

I know deliverance is near

My lifeless body sinked to the bottom of the ocean

There is current a force taking me now

Lifting Me to the Sunrise

The True Journey as only begun

Open your eyes, Beauty is surrounding me

Out of the darkness into the Peaceful Sun
