When in Doubt, Paint it Out

Written on October 8, 202

When in doubt, paint it out.  As I sit here in the states on vacation, I’m thinking of back home…of my friends, my loved ones, my pets, my house and my community as they are headed for shelter before the landfall of hurricane Melissa.  The unknown is so stressful and I’m full of anxiety.  But as a Creative Wellness Coach, I knew what would help.  Art.  Since the waters and tropical oasis’s that I so dearly love to paint are in turmoil, I chose to paint a calming mountain scene and remember the times of camping and hiking, where I grew up in Colorado. The cool and crisp air, the sound of the bubbling rivers, the sight of majestic mountains, and the immense sky full of stars. There’s a certain “hush” of silence that’s so calming about the mountains.  I hope you find this picture calming too.  Please pray for all affected by this storm.
