Big Canvas and I Drool Gleefully

Not really drool, you know, outwardly.  It’s an inner drool, like Goofy diggin’ on cake.

So, yesterday, it started here:

It was time.  It felt right.  I’d done sketches – lots of sketches.  Different directions and ideas; I thought I had it figured out.  It was almost there – but then, not quite.  So, I sat down, got quiet, got still, and asked for guidance.

Then a new direction and a new sketch.  Ahhh, there we go…

Three or four hours the first day.  It felt so GOOD.

I love art. I just frickin’ love it.  Have I told you that?  Well, lemme tell ya…

I love making art.

About Benjamin Allen Ellis

Some phoenix mythologies talk of the soul's hierarchy in terms of birds. The eagle being our pinnacle, the phoenix right below, constantly burning and dying and rebirthing in order to find itself born eagle. Since 2000, and my first public art show, I've used the Phoenix as a rallying cry for myself to take hold of what I want and keep 'rebirthing' until I get it. After eight years, it was time to consciously move on up. Hey - I'm goin' eagle.
