Some of you have been with me since I shared a lot more spiritual/psychic development type of content. I don't do this anymore because there came a point where the business I had created was suffering - I was confusing my audience. My survival required a choice/focus. I was advised to focus on art, and ya know it felt like a bit of a relief to allow my magical experiences to be just mine again. That being said I experience the most interesting things day to day, and this one is relevant to our group. This morning I awoke out of a dream, and as I do I went right to interpreting it. I find I understand the symbols and message better in that state. I began to get help from my guidance in the form of clairvoyant images, like a character from my dream shown to me in a way that meant the difficulty was from my childhood. The next image, and this is why I'm sharing it ... was the floating head of Stephanie Weirathmueller !! I mulled over what the symbolism could be in this context and then it hit me! "Be gentle with yourself" And as I landed on the message the soles of both of my feet warmed to confirm. Stephanie! Your head will probably forever be my guide's symbol for this. Wow. To embody this message so clearly that your smiling face is an icon. Nice work!!! PS. 1. I'm very much looking forward to seeing you all this Saturday for Creativity Club. 2. New Offering: I have scheduled 4 events on the calendar over the next year to offer my assistance to you in professional development subjects: Bios/Statements and Website Review. In each event in the skool calendar I have placed the link to sign up for the workshops. These will not be drop in. You can also do it here. https://www.feliciaforte.com/skool-workshop-signups

Your spiritual content was one of the original attractors for me personally. I never mind when it pops up in our content! thanks for sharing this!! In a similar vein, I've been pulling one tarot card each night as something to chew on the following day, and they have been so intriguing - shoring up my own energy, leaning into imagination, fresh emotional beginnings.

I'm teaching a workshop myself in October that conflicts with this. Otherwise I would be there. Darn it.
When making a body of work.
In my heart of hearts I know it's best for me to let each painting dictate what it wants to be. Never to force a cohesivity. I don't want clever iterations. I want honest explorations. This means more awkward stages. More mistakes. More Discoveries. More finding something uniquely me. More fun.

This is how i try to work too. It’s hard! I’m certain you’ll have plenty of insight on this path.
Examining something that stinks
I want ARTISTS to be valued over their work!!!!!! I want hearts and minds to be cherished by how their work emerges naturally. Fuck this commodification of g d everything. We need sacred observation of creation, of the process of learning, of humanity. A body of work should be so specific to the soul that created it that it's like getting to know them, exploring their inner self, a singular experience!!! How much more interesting would going to art shows be if bodies (of work) came in all shapes and sizes.

@Felicia Forte if I start to think a piece could sell, it becomes precious. I am tempted to find an ending point for the art that could be a compromise as opposed to if I allow the piece to teach me all it can through risk taking and revision. My ending points can be ambiguous, or maybe it’s that they are suggestible. Finish this, sell it, pay that bill instead of linger over this, try x y and z, and fill your head with possibility. As a daily painter for over a dozen years (starting and finishing a piece each day) I got way too polished at signing off at a certain point vs giving the piece the time it needs. I’m conscious of this, and working at the latter.

Beware of what we measure, because that’s where the energy goes. Daily painting taught me much, but at some point the act of signing off on a piece became more important than savoring the process.
Robyn, I have some thoughts
@robyn-west-1585 I was thinking about your technical issues the whole dog walk. Though I do think you have and will figure/d it out.. I can try to give you more support. If you have pics of the process so far post them. I'll tell you what i would have done to make things flow easier.
