   This home and myself are far from Spain&#8230; in a beautiful sunny California location, and so with this in mind, a mural is being created.

<p>I have found that allowing oneself to create in the moment expresses your current emotions &amp; thoughts. and so..this painting has taken many color changes.</p>
<p>One day brought vibrant sunny colors, the next morning upon view it..thoughts of &#8220;wow that&#8217;s so intense&#8221;..so the desire to tame it down, by using white&#8230;only to later feel this was too contrasting&#8230;so soft blues and aqua greens were added for the feeling of more balance.</p>
<p>All of the thoughts and emotions propelled changes to a painting that was special just the way it was.</p>
<p>Just like a kaleidoscope, all is beautiful in the moment.</p>
<p>So the painted Mandala currently hangs on a Golden Venetian Plaster Wall.</p>
<p>I could paint on it everyday &amp; change it to however I happen to feel or think.<br />
But I have chosen to accept it, knowing that it is I who is in constant change!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[My first blog post, why am I doing this and my latest creative therapy session. The eye of the mandala]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-6" src="http://www.cushtile.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/PICT0064-300x225.jpg" alt="Evolution of the Mandala" width="300" height="225" /></p>
<p>I&#8217;m currently working on a painting that has evolved from the desire to paint a mandala,,,But why paint a mandala that is frozen, precise and never changing?</p>
<p> The world is in constant change. Energy is always in motion.</p>
<p>As an artist, I notice that even the creation process is always in motion..it changes from moment to moment.</p>
<p>So the painting that was to be a mandala, became a mandala in motion,,and currently is my therapy painting. </p>
<p>The Therapy is to free myself of painting any preconceived subject matter,,to just paint and take note of the emotions, decisions, and thoughts that evolve as I create.</p>
