Another art piece


So, these past few weeks Kharma has thrown some really nasty poo piles at me. My application to grad school was rejected, found out I was essentially 'hung out to dry' by the faculty person I had been working with since August, two cars that I was seriously interested in purchasing we sold while I was testing driving them, my Yoga instructor is moving, ugh.....

The Dalai Lama was just in the Seattle area and my little brother along with two other people I know (one my Yoga instructor) went to see him. I told the other friend about my grad school issue and she says 'the Dalai says to spin around 21 times'. So, later that afternoon, I spun around in my office 21 times. At about spin 16 I was thinking 'this is dumb and I'm getting dizzy'. Then it occurred to me that I knew 3 people that saw the Dalai, and 3 into 21 is......using higher math....SEVEN!!! Hhhmmm?!?! Isn't 7 a lucky number?? Sure as heck is......

And that is what inspired this interpretation of a Lotus flower and a heart on the ground aluminum panel. I finally used the metallic purple and thought the red heart fit well into the bottom of the flower.

Way to turn it into lemonade. That piece is Bee-u-tee-full! You've got to keep creating Yank! It's in your blood! Create just for the sake of creating... create because you're mad, create because you're sad, create because your happy. You, Yank, Brian, are an artist. Trust God to supply the inspiration and know you've already been blessed as the tool.
