Take a page from “The Beautiful Business.” . “This is precisely the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write, we do language. That is how civilizations heal.” — Toni Morrison. . https://matterco.co/beautifulbusiness/ . . , . , , #beautifulbusiness #tonimorrison #bookreviewersofinstagram #bookreviewers #artistsoninstagram #artofliving #authorsofinstagram #author #artist #votewithyourwallet #loveatwork #gettowork #getbusyliving

“Hidden Wholeness” #oiloncanvas 24”x36” so “Hidden Wholeness” #oiloncanvas 24”x36” sold, framed, and delivered. This piece has a quiet and soulful simplicity to it. The title is inspired by the @pjpalmer39 (Parker Palmer) book of the same name. . “Like a wild animal, the soul is tough, resilient, resourceful, savvy, and self-sufficient: it knows how to survive in hard places. I learned about these qualities during my bouts with depression. In that deadly darkness, the faculties I had always depended on collapsed. My intellect was useless; my emotions were dead; my will was impotent; my ego was shattered. But from time to time, deep in the thickets of my inner wilderness, I could sense the presence of something that knew how to stay alive even when the rest of me wanted to die. That something was my tough and tenacious soul.” — Parker J.

One of my favorite things is to show and share my One of my favorite things is to show and share my art. It’s always such an honor to be invited into beautiful homes filled with love and good people to give them options of my paintings. We get to talk about what it means to them and how their way of living is enlivened by the art they buy and live with. An art buyer shared with me recently they didn’t think that buying original art was within reach until a friend suggested it to them. And then they bought art. I get it. Most people think that buying or collecting original art is for the elite, uber-wealthy, or similar. It’s not or, at least, it shouldn’t be. Art heals the soul, beautifies your world, enlivens your surroundings and much more. And when you buy art that speaks to you, it becomes personal. When you buy art from someone you know or get to know, then the personal connection to it deepens. I always feel like I’m being invited into their everyday world. I love knowing that my art touches them, speaks to them, and improves their world. Living with everyday beauty, is the real value of art. Everyone deserves that. Here’s a few pics from the weekend.

Details, details, #details. “Start Close In” Details, details, #details. “Start Close In” By @davidjwhyte Start close in, don’t take the second step or the third, start with the first thing close in, the step you don’t want to take. Start with the ground you know, the pale ground beneath your feet, your own way of starting the conversation. Start with your own question, give up on other people’s questions, don’t let them smother something simple. To find another’s voice, follow your own voice, wait until that voice becomes a private ear listening to another. Start right now take a small step you can call your own don’t follow someone else’s heroics, be humble and focused, start close in, don’t mistake that other for your own. . . . . . . . . #details #ardetails #closeup #lifecloseup #poetryunbound #davidwhye #davidwhytepoetry #poetry #poeticsouls #sandiegoart #sandiegoartist #contemporaryart #contemporarypainting #fineart
