Buddhist Quotes

"Watch your thoughts, for they become words,
Watch your words, for they become actions,
Watch your actions, for they become habits,
Watch your habits, for they become character,
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny."

"May you be happy, healthy and live a meaningful life."

The act of painting

I start a painting with an emotion and l let that emotion take its course in my process of painting. At times, I create a painting with a few movements guided by my fellings. It happens very quickly, as if all the information was already stored somewhere inside me. Other times, it takes me days, weeks, I keep doing and redoing the same painting. but the image is never the same. I know deep inside, that at the end the image I want will show up on the paper. When it finally does, it is like a miracle, a song listened from a far distance. A lullaby that makes me sleep happy and at peace.
