What's been keeping me awake is my wonder lust to get squishy with paint on canvas or paper... to get into that messy space where I can't dictate the outcome, well I can but in painting I choose not to - where I loose and find myself all at the same time.
So why now? why not to bed like the evenings before?
tonight I am broken.
I am broken, my soul on the floorthe only way I know how to live this emotional onslaught is to create through it.
Its not the moon, nor the wind or my longing to paint it is all of those things and none of them.
I find myself reticent to start. But this is just for me. This may be all I share.
In the hospital today I heard some one say "how do people with no faith get through this?"
I spent a soul destroying afternoon with my parents watching my Dad, my dear ould Dad as his life force drains out of him as chemo gets pumped in. Cancer sucks.
A white page awaits me.
Paper, water, graphite, paint, bristle texture tone
...now I am spent. Satisfied I've started.
What do you do when you are broken?

dear Roisin - my heart goes out to you and your family...my first response was to comment, then not...but I care to much not to...in answer to your question, I dig in until I find I have dug out.
What a great title for a book 'I dig until I find I have dug out'
Thanks Rose. Yesterday was very tough going. For some reason I have been avoiding starting creative making. Digging and rummaging there I am. x
