This morning I took five minutes to draw the bouquet on the left. The flowers on the right were probably drawn during the same amount of time. Drawing like this takes me to the school days of drawing in my notebook. Nobody told me to draw. I drew because…there is no reason why. I draw. I paint. I am an artist. I am an abstract flower artist.

I was thinking of abundance. I have a board filled with flower vase photos. I like to observe the color, and different sizes of flowers and lately, it’s been the vase. I have seen flower arrangements in a pumpkin. Then my mind leads to random objects filled with flowers. I was wandering in Los Angeles one afternoon and spotted a car trunk filled with flowers. I have painted a wheelbarrow. The background should have been lighter but I’ll paint lots more wheelbarros.

This is the thinking that inspires my paintings. Tomorrow is Friday and I will be painting! I want to be the kid who with a gleam in his eyes likes to draw. I know that look. I know that feeling. Sometimes all of these thoughts get in the way. As Tabitha Brown says, painting is my business. Those thoughts are not my business. I know I can paint and quick doodles mean I think less and do more of what I love to do! My flowers are my energy.

The way that I feel when I paint, is everything. It’s love. It’s abundance. It’s freedom. It’s surrender. It’s trust. It’s me. Kute Blackson’s post was about unlocking the secret to abundance. He mentioned energy.

I love it when the world always affirms what I know within.

I want to take a moment and thank all of my subscribers. As the days go by there are more of you. I appreciate your comments. If there is something you are learning, share it. Are you working on a project? I’d love to learn about it!

With Love Mireya
