Jay called me out of the blue on Friday. I was so happy to hear his voice. After Amherst the last time I saw Jay was when the Wall came down in Berlin and then after finishing my MBA in New York when I decided to not go down to Wall st to be w the big boys and started painting at the League w Frank. If Frank had watered the seed Jay planted it. No one creates alone and we all are descendants of the great Masters & Teachers of Past and Present receiving all the gifts of lo

I finally found a place where I can just sit to watch the sky water air and land merging as one so I can just breathe and watch my brush releasing the right colors that reflect how I feel so I could just be and be one as well 🤗

My Dear Friend Brigitte warmed my heart by saying ... but your WC makes one feel so safe and happy, so confident in nature . The blank white page always gives me the same self doubt similar to my entrance every time into the ocean until the first mark w some color is made and my toes touching the cold water. Let the breath quiet the wandering thoughts to trust the process, the intention and the preparation to ground the body into this beautiful Earth and find the joy of jus

To paint w open heart I have to abandon what I see and trust feelings emerged out of subconsciousness via Dadaist intentions of accidental mark making anchored by Cézanne pictorial planes while awareness of my breath leaving behind any remnants of conscious thoughts. I swam w an open heart tonight literally. My smart googles gave me an insight to keep my power stroke stretched out a little longer so I could swim more perpendicular to the water and open my heart more to the sk

Alien intelligence (not Artificial) is able to explain clearly of my painting intention. Why is it ok for AI to create the business transactions that I need during the day but not to reveal my painting intention? Two sides of the same coin. When I first read Journal De EUGÈNE DELACROIX I thought journaling might help me paint as I was leaving my East Coast Trees . The intention is to have a quick short writing style to get to the point quickly so I could know what to paint

It's 5 AM Perplexity reported horrible shore's conditions. No 5K swim today to visit my dolphin friends 😒 Quickly finished Frank's still life class exercise before 9 AM EST call. Felt the breath as antidote to all the hatred vibes coming from Charlie Kirk's and his Bros RIP. Watching in silence of how Comet digesting all of my words in an instance and helping me to create my first NFT but happy that I am invisible to them all. Frank Morgan's blaring behind me. Whip
