“The sun is perfect and you woke this morning.

You have enough language in your mouth to be understood. You have a name, and someone wants to call it. Five fingers on your hand and someone wants to hold it. If we just start there, every beautiful thing that has and will ever exist is possible. If we start there, everything, for a moment, is right in the world.”

Peacock Inspiration

My heart has been so full of inspiration this past week.

From the Guardian Building blues and greens to the beautiful Peacock tile at Pewabic, I realized how drawn I am to this color combination.

Back in 2022, I created an abstract design named "Blair," which has been sitting inside my art cabinet, barely noticed. I got her back out yesterday and was inspired to try my hand at a new watercolor.

After visiting the DIA yesterday, I realized the beautiful synchronicities between the Peacock feathers at the Woodward entrance and my own entryway at home! I found these Peacock feathers at Premier Pet Supply downtown on Washington, but even at under $2 each, they were far too beautiful to let Kiko play with them.

I repurposed my Christmas tree stand and decided to create an arrangement a few weeks ago; and subconsciously, I think I had this Peacock in mind all along! She is still a work in progress, but it has been a lot of fun to create.

There's more Peacock inspiration, too. After researching the art in the Detroit People Mover Stations, I learned about James McNeill Whistler’s paintings, who had designed “The Peacock Room” at 49 Prince’s Gate in London, owned by British shipping magnate Frederick Richards Leyland.

The room was preserved in 1904 by Charles Lang Freer, who installed it in his home at 71 E. Ferry Avenue. The original wall is now on display at the Smithsonian in Washington, DC. Mary Chase Stratton, co-founder of Pewabic Pottery, was a friend of Freer, and created the original peacock tile for his home.

I have visited The Peacock Room at The Park Shelton, but had no idea the origin of the name. It's amazing how art leads us to history and stories that brought us to where we are today!

You can visit Joyce Kozloff's Whistler-inspired peacocks at the Financial District People Mover Station Downtown Detroit.

I’m over it.

[en3rvated]

Walking through the vast world with your peace travelled along side you. It was a scenery's most beautiful sight to anyone whom crossed it's path and luck was your side once you stumbled upon its glory.

Animals dance along your trail enlightened the sight more elegant and the sun shone upon your form as its rays of light casted warmth within the world. Creeks of water accompanied your path towards your journey to see the world for once, everything painted and lushed with green and life arose within its glory.

No matter how your perspective nor experience changes your view, the world's glory over shine its past as the present shown the window of eternal life shining beyond the glass of restrain within you.

OBSTACLES 🚧🎡✨️ are the norm.♡¿☆♧

As I ease into this being it's not that they are there (obstacles) it's more that I am here and so it is a time to reflect, a time to laugh, a time to capture, a time to slow down and trust who I am in each moment.

Ob~sta~culless~

I feel you ease into my being and I'm seeing that I'm more in control than ever before.

5️⃣♡||change, freedom and embracing positive actions.

“I think everything in life is art. What you do. How you dress. The way you love someone, and how you talk. Your smile and your personality. What you believe in, and all your dreams. The way you drink your tea. How you decorate your home. Or party. Your grocery list. The food you make. How your writing looks. And the way you feel. Life is art.”

-Helena Bonham Carter

One’s life is a story, but each moment is a poem.

If you want it then it will come to you at the right time. Just work and leave everything else to the divine. There is someone who knows what's best for you and when you are mentally and emotionally ready to receive it. Trust the timing of your life.

Good night

I don’t feel there’s any words left to speak, they’ve all been said. Perhaps not in the same voice, but the concept has already been explained. I feel I’ve seen all I’ve needed to see and felt all I’ve needed to feel. Maybe it’ll come back, I am still hopeful that it will.

Day 308 art meditation, 2/20/23 I just read about the opera singer Limmie Pulliam, who for ten years gave up his dream to become a professional singer because of body shaming. Michelle Obama wrote the most beautiful post about the full story of his comeback.

Any time I read a book, or watch a film about someone who quit working towards their dreams, my throat instantly tightens up with tears. There is always a reason to quit. Limmie didn’t give up! I’m so thrilled for him, and moved by his story.

Also noteworthy is that he stayed in alignment with people who inspire him, and with people who have the potential of Seeing him for all of who he is. When he worked as a field organizer for Barack Obama’s campaign, giving Limmie a spontaneous chance to sing the national anthem, he was boosted back into believing in his art again.

I want to post about the ways that I am going to commit to All Lines Are Beautiful this year. As always, I have to focus on what I CAN do, what is within me.

I want to post about the ways that I am going to commit to All Lines Are Beautiful this year. As always, I have to focus on what I CAN do, what is within me.

◎ I am again posting my logo - aka my Heart Centerpiece. This is the symbol of continuing belief in myself.

◉ I am re-committing to designing Heart Art Bundles for clients. This is a collaborative challenge of NEW art merging with NEW words that creates beautiful new things, which is a core message of All lines are beautiful. I just Believe in this idea.

◎ This year I will finish the first draft of my art memoir.

⦿ Finalize the new artwork for my Love Letter to Senga Nengudi. I will figure out how to get it published.

◎ I will try to make contact with Senga as a new layer of my self esteem.

◉ I am holding a space for myself for future Love Letters, and really feeling these ideas out Inwardly, before I start the actual work.  

◎ I am launching a Print Store with my art and photography designs.

⦿ I am going to print art postcards of my artwork. As I write love postcards to my friends and family I discovered there is a lack of art-postcards out there. If I’m going to go whole-hog with being a professional Love Letter writer, of course postcards need to be part of it.

◎ I continue to tune into artists who inspire me. One of my design heroes is the Finnish company Marimekko, and I love how the bold textile designs expanded out into tableware and FINNAIR aircrafts. Follow the Joy, and joy for me is definitely seeing Marimekko art on an airplane!

◉ I continue living in deep and still gratitude, and how far I have come so far. I am so grateful for the art meditation I started in September 2021, which helps me stay connected to my dreams every day. I am grateful for the 100 Day Art Challenge I did in 2019, and the journaling and letters I’ve written since I was little.

So this is me, walking in the direction of my goals, towards my better self, working on transmitting my fears into excitement and enthusiasm - thank you Michael B. Beckwith.

Love,

Anne

I’m genuinely not caring and don’t care for these worldly things anymore, and that’s when I started losing people from my life.
