Never be in a hurry; do everything quietly and in a calm spirit.
Do not lose your inner peace for anything whatsoever,
even if your whole world seems upset.
– Saint Francis de Sales
The View from my Studio: The Walkers
Bob and I recently decided to work with Espirational as our “brand” so to speak. That means my art blog is now closed. We now have Espirational.com (this blog) and Espirational.org (Bob’s blog). I will be talking about my art under the topic header of The View from my Studio.
I don’t sit in my studio eight hours a day cranking out art. I couldn’t if I tried. My work comes and goes along with new inspiration. Sometimes inspiration leads to more that one finished work. I am intrigued by Sacred Geometry — especially circles. So I decided to play with labyrinths a little. There may eventually be more “Walkers,” who knows?
