Art. Fun. Wine. Again.

As spiritual beings, it is important that throughout our life we find things that make us happy. Well, one of the things that makes me happy is painting. What I find funny is I did not realize I was so passionate about painting and art until I decided to join Reiko at her paint studio in D.C. This time our focus was on the amazing Vincent Van Gogh. Van Gogh LOVED flowers and vases and that inspired my portrait. How do you paint like Van Gogh? While one of my girlfriend’s portraits came pretty close, mine on the other hand was a long shot. And I was okay with that too! The fun in creating the life we want is learning the art of no expectation. Accepting whatever may happen and having peace with the outcome. Going into the studio my heart and mind was open to I simply having fun! I was thrilled to be able to spend time with friends, listen to good music, drink some wine, and create! Below are photos from the night. Hope you enjoy!!

Are you doing new and fun things in your life? Tell me, I would LOVE to hear. Blessings!

Fun. Art. Wine.

I believe as I have said before that we are all artist. When creating the life we want it takes imagination, connection, being a free spirit, being LOVE, and a willingness to take some risk. Looking at life from the perspective of a painter, our lives are the canvas and as artist we have the power to hold the tools.

I went to Reiko painting studio in Washington DC for art and wine. My friend sent me the invite and I said yes instantly! I remember the mood was set with great music picked by Reiko, also she had tasty snacks such as crackers and cheese! And the blush wine calmed us and allowed everyone to be in "create" mode. I learned about great creative artist named Jackson Pollock who took a risk and was the first to simply drip and let paint run on a canvas. I learned in my own life I can create a life that is original, inspirational, and innovative. Reiko had us sketch what we wanted to paint on piece of paper first. I instantly began to write words and give them life. As I began to create I felt more and more connected to my work. My deep passion for art came alive. I do not see my myself as a good artist such as a painter or someone who draws well. What I know for sure is that we must not limit our selves based on what is not our strengths and be ready for many lessons! Like an artist I can be a little weird, difficult to understand at times, simple, yet complex. I have a LOVE for culture, people, Spirituality, and see beauty in everything! Let your life be your personal canvas! Create. Create. Create.

Below are some wonderful photos from Arts and Bubbles with me and my girlfriends. If you are in the DC area you have to check Reiko out. Her website address is: www.funartwine.com. She is a super young artist with a beatiful spirit! Hope you enjoy. Blessings!
