Dance of the Palms, Contemporary Musical Landscape Paintings by Arizona Artist Amy Whitehouse



6" x 8" Oil on Canvas Panel, $125


I'm reading this new book on Painting with your Intuition;
it's beautifully bound with gorgeous contemporary, personal artworks.
So...how does one take this somewhat esoteric method 
and indeed paint from intuition?
It's a question I've rolled around in for years;
guess the answer is - just paint...
with that in mind.

I saw something on the bulletin board up at NAU music building this morning
(before returning to the inferno)
that went something like this:

Lonely?   Practice
Out of sorts?   Practice
Tired?  Practice
Broke?   Practice
and so on

Here's mine:

Teenagers wearing you down to the level of your carpet?  Paint
Wanting to eat donuts from Bosa, but trying to lose weight? Paint
Drowning in debt but have no income? Paint
Lethargic with 120 degree temps? Paint
Don't know what to paint?  Paint

Could you make a list?  I bet you could!
Please share, please do.
