In this spirit of self-competition, task yourself to go further and push into the unexpected. Don’t stop even at greatness. Venture beyond.” Rick Rubin (page 240 The Creative Act)Hill-Ray is a friend of mine. One year ago Hill-Ray and I were completely different people than we are today, a year from now a newer version of Hill-Ray will emerge and as will a new Heather. This painting is a reflection of our natural birthright to evolve and change over time. Something we can not stop… although suppressed and shaped over decades. It is a new day for pure form and nature, let us bend, push, grasp, shrink continually as we become. Let the sun beat down upon our souls, empowering us so we no longer are stunted with fear, shame or guilt. Let us all be free to become what we naturally are meant for… give grace to oneself and grace will fall upon humanity.
