Inhale. Hold. Release. The breath is everything. It is clarity and calm and a moment in which we can recenter ourselves and sit with our bodies and clear the chatter that can be overwhelming at times. When we allow ourselves to be attuned to our physical selves wholly and tune out the clamor of our busy minds, we can find peace and come back to the world a little stronger and a little more whole. I found a little of that through creating this piece: in the quiet stroke of the brush on the canvas; in her lines and color; in the making of the flowers that surround her. Meditation can be many things. A quiet walk; sitting in silence; allowing the brush to fill the paper or canvas. I hope the peaceful energy with which I painted her will bring beauty and a bit of that calm to your space.
