Intuitive Painting

Beside a counselor and coach I am also an artist. To expresse with paint what I have inside and to bring it outside gives me space in my mind. Also a way to look at it a time after I painted it.
This story about this painting is in a way funny too!

I was invited to paint during a concert live performance. It was before Christmastime. The place I settled was in the back, so I could hear the music and people could look at it after the concert during the break. I was prepared for everything, had my tools with me and my easel set up. What I didn't realize was that the lights went off! There I stood with my paint in the dark and couldn't see any colors. Lucky I did prepair my pallet with colors already, to avoid a lot of mess on the floor with pressing the tubes of paint! I came into the music (roemenia) and felt the music. My hand went by itself. During the break, the lights went back on. And people came to look, and asked me all kinds of questions. Even I was surprised by the painting. This was really intuitive painting, I had to trust my feelings and go with the flow of the music. I hope you like the results.

Conclusion: "People think too often that we need everything to do something, or organized everything before we can start. Sometimes even people fill in the thoughts from themselves to a person who made an intuitive painting".

I give the possibility to people to discover in many ways their feelings, like painting. The freedom and space you can give to others, give the possibillity to BE.

From heart to your heart,
