When Ryan of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brassmessengers.com\/photos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Brass Messengers<\/a> asked me to paint I initially said no. I am working on Live Geometric Abstraction but I\u2019m not ready to perform it. Then I had this dream: I am doing a residency on an Art Farm. I have an appointment with a psychic curator who has agreed to look at my portfolio and give me advice on getting my work \u201cout there,\u201d but she never shows. She calls and apologizes yet still I feel disappointed and my feelings are hurt. (I have a Pisces Moon) So as I am sitting there despondently I notice two bugs crawling towards me with a sense of urgency. Two translucent green psychic bugs tell me \u201cgo back to painting figures live.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Many times when I get messages in dreams I don\u2019t act on them right away. I turn it over in my conscious mind until I can accept and truly understand the message, but my partner Giuliana said that if you are going to go back to painting figures live you should do the show. So I called Ryan.<\/p>\n<p>I practiced a few paintings and realized I cannot do them like I used to: 90-second paintings in a frenzy. I want to take more time and shape the image, dance a bit and be more intentional. I want to play with the background color, add some spirals, combine paint with crayons and generally have more fun.<\/p>\n<p>So I did and it was.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to <a href=\"https:\/\/anthonychapin.blogspot.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tony Chapin<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/christopherlutter.com\/projects\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chris Lutter<\/a> for hosting this event!<\/p>\n<p>Scroll down for Italian language translation. Italiano \u00e9 di sotto.<\/p>\n\t<p>Inizialmente quando Ryan del gruppo <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brassmessengers.com\/photos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Brass Messengers<\/a> mi ha chiesto di partecipare alla festa di New Year Eve ho detto di no. Sto lavorando con delle astrazioni geometriche ma non sono ancora al punto di eseguirle live.<\/p>\n<p>Poi ho avuto questo sogno: Io ero ad una Art Farm Residency e stavo aspettando la curatrice psichica che aveva accettato di darmi la sua opinione del mio portafoglio e consigliarmi un po su come rappresentarmi. Lei chiama e disdice, scusandosi, ma non evita di ferire i miei sentimenti (la mia Luna \u00e8 nel segno dei Pesci). Cos\u00ec, scoraggiata, mi siedo e vedo due strani insetti che vengono verso me con una certa urgenza. I due insetti sono veggenti e di un verde traslucido, camminano su quattro gambe e mi dicono \u201cTorna al Live Painting con le Figure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Spesso quando ricevo un messaggio nei miei sogni non agisco immediatamente. Ci penso e ci rifletto e cerco di capire ed accettare il significato che sento pi\u00f9 vero. Ma Giuliana mi fa notare che se la voglio l\u2019opportunit\u00e0 mi \u00e8 gia stata offerta da Ryan.<\/p>\n<p>E cos\u00ec ho rivisitato le mie Figure e ho deciso di eseguirle un po&#8217; diversamente. Non pi\u00f9 nella frenesia dei 90 secondi, ma con pi\u00f9 concentrazione, pi\u00f9 focalizzazione sul ritmo, la forma ed il colore.<\/p>\n<p>Che bella serata!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There\u2019s an interesting back-story to how I ended up painting at the New Year\u2019s Eve Party.
