" RIVER OF FEELINGS "

" In us there is a river of feelings,in which every drop of water is a different feeling, and each feeling relies on all the others for it's existence. To observe it,we just sit on the bank of the river and identify each feeling as it surfaces, flows by, and disappears."
Thich Nhat Hanh

The mindful observation of everyday moments nourishes my painting practice making it a transforming process. My feelings flow on to the canvas without my direction or intention. My feelings become one with the paint. Painting is a calming and joyful experience.
