Ireland

One of the lovely things in the Celtic mind is its sense of spontaneity. It’s one of the greatest spiritual gifts. To be spontaneous is to escape the cage of the ego and trust. By trusting that which is beyond the self you transfigure the ego and liberate the soul. From the book Anam Cara A Book of Celtic Wisdom by John O’Donohue On one of the last days of a painting workshop I asked a sassy Irish artist by the name of JJ to make a palette [ for the non painters - this means paint color selections] for me, because I generally use the same palettes over and over and am drawn to JJ’s palette. Some time went by after my unplanned palette remark and then later that day “voila” JJ had delivered a palette to me so a challenge was on. Moreover, she squeezed about triple the amount of paint I usually use onto the palette and said “I made the palette so I want you to paint thickly.” This little little challenge was quite freeing. I am happy with the result and also included my reference photos too. The one with the lines is to adhere to the workshop's picture division criteria. I was asked to divide the images I painted into 6 shapes and found that terribly hard so I went for 5 shapes towards the end. Enjoy - and be spontaneous… Copyright © 2023 Courtney Cotton - All Rights Reserved To see more day to day about my art follow me on Instagram @courtneycottonetal
