My Abstract Heart

Emerging

There’s a lot of changes afoot here. I now have three websites, and am working on my blogs too. I’m trying to decide whether to keep this blog as is, or fold it over into a new one I’m working on. Since I haven’t been here a whole lot lately, it’s given me some space to decide. I may just give it a makeover!

Here are my three sites. Two of them are up and running, the third is in progress.

Reflection

A rainy gray February day is a perfect time for reflection. Today is such a day, and having just come out of weeks of intense work, I don’t feel like doing much of anything. Making soup, moving a little quieter and slower, taking the pressure off for a few days. Time for some self care. I’m impressed that I’ve actually learned over the years to listen to my body when it says, “enough!”. I know that if I don’t listen, my body will find a way to force me to listen. I prefer to be friends with my body as it’s really easier and way more fun in the long run to do so.

Since the beginning of this year, I’ve been on an intense path to recreate much of how I present myself publicly: how I communicate what it is I do, how I see it, where my work can be seen, what I am creating… in short, everything is being reexamined. I’m building new forms and forums for my work. I have separated Artist and Clairvoyant, at least in my websites. I plan to keep this blog and soon will have another that is specifically about my heart art, my heart paintings. They need their own place, since I’ve removed them from my fine art site. Here’s one of the new ones. It’s called “Hunka Hunka Burning Heart”, and is 28″x28″. It can currently be seen at kriscahill.com, but will soon be at ‘My Abstract Heart’, a new WordPress blog.

In the past 6 weeks, I’ve had two shows open, painted 50 paintings, made some new decisions about how I am marketing myself. I’ve been participating in a teleseminar class about using pr and getting press. I’ve begun a new clairvoyant website, which you can see here: http://clairvoyant.kriscahill.com. I’ve been a bit lax about writing in this blog, but I am sure you can see why. I’ve also had little time to visit other blogs and comment, but hope to do so soon. I enjoy the communication and community here, and thank all of you who do visit, read, and leave comments. You are appreciated.

I’m also in the process of creating new ways to market my small paintings, including wholesaling the small hearts. I see potential in this as a source of income. Recession be damned, I’m moving full speed ahead with all of this! It looks like a great time to not match to the prevailing despair.

Here’s to a whole new outlook, a new dawning for us all. Whoever said it was going to be easy anyway?

A New Day

A new day begins right now. And then again tomorrow. Every day is another opportunity to get up, then wake up. Choices are made, energy is set that steers the course of the day. One has many different opportunities throughout each day to create, in each moment, wellness and health. Choice of outlook, attitude, actions. All important.

It’s kind of a bumpy ride right now, for many people. I am finding this reflected everywhere I go. It is not the time to isolate oneself, stay inside and hide. It is the time to get out and say hello to others, see what’s going on. Shake it up, do something new, get a new outlook. See something colorful and pretty, hear new music, experience the pulse of life going on all around.

Yesterday I went for a hike in the rain. It was a very soothing balmy rain, so it was okay to get soaked. There were actually quite a few people out doing the same thing, some with their dogs. The park smelled green and fresh. I went to experience that smell, and the feeling of rain on my skin. My friend and I sat in a sheltered picnic area afterward, drinking hot tea from the nearby cafe, listening to the patter of the rain. So soothing, quiet, exciting to be out in it.

I’d like to do things like that more often. Get off the beaten path, challenge the usual everyday patterns, see new things. The rest of my day followed from the morning in the rain. Today I am still thinking about it. I feel as if I recharged myself yesterday to begin the next new things.

Invalidation Is My Bitch

I just finished this painting yesterday, photographed it, and took it with 33 others to hang in my first solo show in Los Angeles, at 410 Boyd. My opening reception is next Thursday, 2 days after the 21st century officially begins. I’m glad my first solo show here is to be held in the 21st century. It seems appropriate for the work I’ve done.

“Invalidation Is My Bitch” was the last piece I completed for my show, “The Fine Art Of Free Will”. I realized only today, while writing my statement for the show, that it truly is a culmination of the path I’ve been on since I decided to move out here in 2006. My abstract work began developing at that time. Moving out to LA gave me the push I was looking for to drop my previous style of painting and embrace what in my heart of hearts I wanted to do. Took some doing, and I’m proud of the results. And also feel like I am only just beginning, again. Cheers for that newness.

Some of the works I completed are so new, they’re not even on my website yet. This is the first showing online of this painting. I’ll spend some time this week updating, but for now I just need to relax and rest up. This promises to be a very wonderful and most interesting week.

Gifts

While thinking about the many gifts I’ve received lately, along comes another: my new blog banner! Debi Cates from The Many Hats of Debi Cates created some new banners for me as a gift. Sweet! I tend to create my banners in a very simple way, as I’m so slow using Photoshop. Someday, I vow, I will make the time to learn the program better. So I haven’t been able to make anything as well designed as this. Thank you, Debi!

I’m in the process of getting ready to hang a big solo show tomorrow night. Exciting, there is so much energy around doing this. I feel very good about my work, and ready to share it. Some important decisions were made this week regarding some next steps, and some helpful people have shown up in my life to guide me in some of this.

We all make such a difference in each other’s lives, on so many levels. I helped a stranger today, a man who found my business card someplace and called me. He didn’t want to buy a painting or get a reading, (not right now anyway!). He liked my unusual card and wanted to know where he could get cards made like it. I directed him to Moo.com, which prints beautiful small scale cards that really stand out. This man was so grateful, made me write down the name of his restaurant, and told me if I ever came by to make sure I said hello so he could thank me in person. It does come back, really.

Thank you, all of you, for the many gifts you have given.

Energy Of Fun

I’m getting ready to have some more fun with my new paintings. This week I’m in the studio quite a bit, working on the new pieces for my show this month. After I solve a few things for myself on Monday, I’m free to play with paint. I love weeks like this. I don’t even leave the house for several days in a row sometimes, immersed as I am in my studio. Though this week it may be kind of difficult, as the weather is beautiful right now.

This painting is from the Energy Series, an entire series of works dedicated to simply painting the energy of specific things and concepts. Doing this series helped me move into my abstract work fully. I think I’m done with this series. I’ll still show it, of course, but unless I get a commission to paint another piece like these, I’ve completed what I set out to do here.

I am toying with titles for several upcoming series. Committed as I am to creating art inspired by spirit, growth, love, evolution, and healing, and writing about that as much as I do, I’ve got pages in my journals with titles for paintings, series, blogs, etc. It will all depend on where I am when I begin the next one. Since I’ve been working on grounding quite a lot lately, I’m guessing that is the nature of the next series.

It’s very interesting to be here now, at this place in history, at this time. One of the biggest things I see is that the grounding of the entire country, the entire planet actually, is getting reset. It’s been pretty floaty and kind of unreal for a while now. The incoming US President is familiar with grounding, making things real. He is appointing others who also do. New rules for what “real” means anyway, are coming into being. We have each and every one of us been affected by the energy of being unreal. It’s all changing.

Do you have a sense of things getting more real in your life these days? What does that mean to you? Is it fun

Birth Of A Universe

What if you could give birth, right now, to a whole new Universe? Without even trying too hard. I’ll bet you don’t even know that you might have the power to do this thing. You may even think I am a bit overworked right about now and that I might need a good long nap. You are right, I am and I do.

What I am getting at is that perhaps you are already creating a whole new Universe. Just by your everyday actions and choices, you are creating something no other human being can do. Because you are absolutely one of a kind, completely unique, only you can do those little (and big) things you do.

Now, I’m not trying to throw some kind of responsibility or guilt trip on you. You don’t have to do a single thing that is different from what you do right now. It’s just kind of important to know how much you can make a complete difference on this planet.

I saw “Milk” recently, a movie that nicely illustrates this point. Harvey Milk reached the age of 40 without, according to his own admission, ever having done anything he was proud of. Through the course of this beautiful film, we see how within just a few years, he created a whole new Universe. He really created a whole new picture, a new way of life. He started a revolution. Simply by deciding to live in his own truth, and take it to the people. Hiding no longer worked for him, and our whole planet is different as a result.

It takes a lot to do what he did, and he paid the ultimate price. Or did he? He freed himself in his lifetime. He began speaking his truth, though it was not at all acceptable in the general society. And he helped countless others to be free from shame, fear, punishment. He cleared the way for the millions of people he’d never met. Though he was crusading specifically for the right of gay people everywhere, in my opinion he freed everyone by allowing the truth to be out in the open. Nobody wins when fear, judgment, and punishment rule the day.

So, how is your Universe looking these days?
