Rebellion in paint

I've been so well brought up that this is me in rebellion!  Pretty tame, eh? But it is satisfying to me and is today's insight.  To start at the beginning of the story...

I was in physical pain, again, last night, my back creaking and squeaking as if it had something to say, but I couldn't tell what.  As I work in energy I can get pretty impatient with myself, thinking, Lord, what now?!    So I turned to my favourite medium for distraction - colour.  I allow myself the permission that it doesn't matter what I paint, but it's as useful as doing a crossword, i.e. it's a moment of connection to a part of me that is tickled by the activity.  

In my case,  I just love mixing colour.... and, juxtaposing 'rude' colours together.       I began with the 'too bright' yellow (no judgement, you notice)  but, feeling rebellious, I rejected the comfort of my usual circles for - squares!   This is me really exploring my boundaries, stepping out of my comfort zone!   The second was the green square at an angle... again, me not wanting to be predictable ... and then to the orange that touches the yellow - another rule broken?    And so I continue till I have filled the paper.  By the end, I'm quite pleased by the composition - and the tease that there is more to come from the bigger squares peaking in.

I share this with you because for all the inner work I've done, I'm owning up to a very childish pastime that is allowing me to play.  And frankly, play and creativity is the way forward for me.  I'm frustrated that I feel as if my creativity is locked away within, so I'm starting at the beginning.  With primary colours and the fun it gives me.   

Paint may not be your way to step out of your comfort zone to satisfy your creative urge, but it's likely, if you are reading this, that you are seeking something.  I invite you to feel into the part of you that likes to play... and go from there.    
It's even more fun in company, so if you'd like to explore your energy and play with me, please get in touch at willaking@gmail.com.  I'm at the start of a whole new adventure with this website and yourenergymap.com and I'd love it if you joined me.

Willa, this was just wonderful to read! You have a way with words and they just draw me in, wanting to learn more from you. Thank you for sharing your journey, opening my eyes to new ways of looking at things. I have a child's set of watercolor paints that have been quietly calling my name. I think it's time to listen and give myself permission to just play with color today!

Hi Martha, my back didn't give in that easily, but I felt satisfied, and the pain eased once I'd posted, and shared it. Funny that! Maybe it's saying, keep creating - and I won't create (a fuss)!

Willa, I have been really moved by your blog/painting. For me, reflecting on the creativity of the work would be missing the point your soul has led you to express. The contrasting colors of the teardrops has fittingly captured your mood regarding where you were at in relation to your blog; the black - capturing your pain, and the light capturing the higher vibrations of love, compassion and the caring spirit you hold for your love ones. Having said this, the work is a brilliant work of art!!

    In the third chapter of my life, I'm at an open door.  All the research and play I've done till now is bearing fruit.  I'd love to share it with you.  I'm finding that doing the essential inner work, alongside the outer work, is an adventure that's much more fun in company.
