Ask yourself what makes you come alive and go do that, because what the world needs is people who come alive.

ReplyDeleteAre your wrists killing you?
ReplyDeleteI love this 'If you receive this, then you know how much i love you.'
xoxoxo
Hold on, for what is in thyose hands is so precious...
ReplyDeleteLove to you, Beautiful Karin.
Hi Karin, i hope that you are well?
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful pages. I love the earthiness of the colour scheme. The picture reminds me of those heated alls you hold to warm your hands up, only in this case maybe it is a cold all to cool the hands? Good balance of warm and cool colours.
Thank you lilasvb!
ReplyDeleteWell, I wouldn't say they are killing me, but my hands have been quite swollen and - well, they and my wrists hurt, a lot...
Glad the message was received :) xxoo
Hey Kim, yes, I'm holding!! xox
Hi Jasmine, because my hands aren't cooperating the way I want them to, I wasn't able to depict what my mind's eye saw, which was a much more open ribbon like swirl of energy that fell into the hands in my minds eye as I sat quietly, with my eyes closed - light, swirling, and connected...
well, they may not be cooperating as you want them to but they certainly are expressive on paper! it really captures the feeling of how you are doing and I love that you are capturing the FLOW! xo
ReplyDeleteYour images always say so much, Karin. Hope all is well and sending healing thoughts. xx
ReplyDeleteIs this a hand grenade?
ReplyDeleteHow do you do that!!!??? WOW! I so felt it- don't know how you are able to render such energy on a flat surface - drawing and using colour! Amazing. I am in awe of your art, Ms. Karin!
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing Karin! Are you giving or receiving in this image? To me it looks like you are drawing healing energy from what is in your hands. I love it. Oh, and I left a comment on your last post a couple of days ago, but it hasn't appeared. Very strange!
ReplyDeleteSensational and very powerful!
ReplyDeleteKarin there is strength in this piece and I've noticed the last few images have been particularly powerful. You've got backbone, girl!
ReplyDeleteyep, whenever I am feeling sorry for myself, I come here and you make it all busy, although in my current state of mind I see you trying to hold onto a whirlwind... blessings as always
ReplyDeletefeels to me like you are gracefully holding the "mystery"...beautiful evocative drawing as always karin. Sending you more healing energy to hold in your blessed hands.
ReplyDeleteI love that you've made the hands red in this piece. I could mean so many things so I'm not going to guess..... I'll just admire it! Great work!!
ReplyDeleteKarin,
ReplyDeleteThe hands show so much. You just do not know how your art touching my heart.
My heart to yours,
Katelen
Thanks Cat! I like how you worded that; capturing the flow. It brought to mind being a kid and capturing different things for closer inspection - tadpoles, snails, bugs, etc - a capture and release process, so now I'm thinking about how I can consciously capture and release the flow... xoxo
ReplyDeleteThank you Carol Anne, all is well, always :)
A grenade? really?!
Oh thank you Ms Linda Sue!!! xox
Hi Heather, hmm, sorry about the comment thing - I don't know where it might have disappeared to!
Thank you - hopefully it's a giving and receiving thing :)
Thank you Seth!!
Hi Robyn - thank you!! It's funny, but images have been a little evasive lately, but when they do come in, they are crystal clear. Perhaps less is more, with working at the pace I am currently able to - in order to keep that back bone happy!!
Well, there is some of the whirlwind in all I've been experiencing lately, so that's probably an apt observation Deb! Many thanks xo
I love that Laura, the idea of "holding the mystery" - that is a powerful concept to meditate on... thank you! xox
Yeah, it's funny Manon, I didn't really have an idea that I would use red, and I don't remember seeing red when I visualized this image, but red is what my hand reached for, so i went with it. thanks for admiring :)
Oh Katelen, bless you. You have touched mine... deeply...
I love the feeling of power this conveys. You have the power in your hands, and I see you as holding and shaping it into something beautiful...

ReplyDeletewow karin! this is awesome! absolutely love the colors!!
ReplyDeleteahhh, your blog always warms my heart, it's a bit like seeing a part of you (different from than in person) but just enough to let me know that you are there, with me (and everyone else)... i am astonished and so inspired that you are continuing to create these amazing pages through all that you are experiencing. i love you karin!
ReplyDeletexooxj
Hmmmm...that's all I've got to say...hmmmmm...
ReplyDelete(but it's a positive hmmmmm...in case you were worried...
No relief yet darling but I hope that they can find out what the hell this is soon because I am going snakey.
ReplyDeletexoxoxo
I love the energy and life that swirls between those hands, and a great use of warm and cold colors. Powerful, strong work that i love a lot.
