Saving my Soul, One Painting at a Time
Gave up caffeine
That didn't stop me from cheating
Drank 1/2 a cup of low acid coffee this AM
Now I remember what I'm missing
That beautiful buzz
Elevation
Heightened thoughts of salvation
Like Dylan I'm looking to paint a masterpiece
Until such time I present here
With light and balance
Symbols and foreplay
At your service
Gouache and a little bit of half and half ...

hello dearest Poet this is beautiful I freaking love it
I'm currently painting Rob Zombie and his demons...
to say the least it is murky territory but interesting as well
I will share when it is done...
keep rocking the sobriety ❤️

So far so good
I prefer uppers to downers so a little caffeine boost here and there should be okay.
Appreciate the nod and keep painting too !!
Saving our souls our way

Dear PS,
Whatever abstinence from alcohol and caffeine is doing physically is great. It’s upping your painting game as well. Great piece. Quite different from the others. Really expresses some pent up beauty not otherwise able to birth.
Rock on! Total Dig! H🌷

Dear H
There's a basketball phrase that holds through in art and writing for me. The phrase goes, "let the game come to you"
I now take more time when painting, sitting with the results and waiting to add or not add. In the old days I just blasted them out. Sometimes that still works but the contemplative aspect of painting sometimes is more exciting than the painting itself. Mixed bag from this dinosaur.....
Once again I super appreciate your comments
Hey, you're an NYC chick
You get me
Thx
😎❤🖤

Re. Saving my Soul, One Painting at a Time
That's honest, you cheating person. That 2nd line just sticks in my throat. Sure, nobody's perfect but how do you move on from this?

Well, I guess I try not to do it too often.
You know like back in the habit.
I haven’t caved on booze yet so I think I’m okay for now.
Redemption is a full time job …

Brave write amigo. I am rooting for ya.
I am drinking coffee this minute with extra hazelnut creamer my fav. LOL
I'm loving how you are putting yourself out there amigo. Flaws and all. We are
all a work in progress til the last breath.
The painting has so much detail. Love how intricate it is and the color choices.

Yes, flaws and all
Lol
That's me
Thanks for the nod A, it's not that difficult being wholesome
The mourning doves were out this mourning, that's a good sign
Glad you like the painting
I worked on it for quite a spell
Cowboy talk

I like the contemporary / modern (if I'm using the terms correctly) feel to this. I'm addicted to caffeine as well and it's hard to give up, but the mind does seem to be able to take another path.
BIG LIKE sir. Outstanding.

Caffeine is a nice legal boost in small quantities for me.
This painting was a labor of love for me
Appreciate you Wally
