The way you talk about your relationship to this makes it clear what a powerful, clarifying process this is for you - a return to the roots. I'm also crazy excited about the new distribution partner and all of the other upcoming bits of goodness that you'll be sharing. And, because I'm a total quote nerd, when I read your mention of chaos at the start of this post I thought of this quote by Nietzsche: <i>"One must have chaos in oneself in order to give birth to a dancing star."</i> I get so excited when I think about you returning to painting, to the big mojo that’s found by putting brush to paper.

They certainly can keep talking to you over time. @Shannon Wilkinson:

Isn't it amazing that the stuff that you loved (and worked for you) as a child, still works. The painting at the beginning of the post. I have no words for how much I love it. It's amazing. So, happy to hear that exciting things are just around the corner. I still look at the images from when you worked with me, and am moved by them. This is powerful stuff. I can't wait to see where you go with it. Yay Christine! Isn’t it amazing that the stuff that you loved (and worked for you) as a child, still works. The painting at the beginning of the post.

Chaos is interesting, and I must admit, much easier to work with on some days than others. @Kathy Loh:

I work with visuals of another sort and hang them on the walls in my bedroom so that their energy works on me while I sleep. I'm amazed and giddy when I awaken, look at the images and something new comes through. My experience is that chaos is a delicious, if uncomfortable, prelude to a new sense of order. It's all part of a cycle. That you stuck with it rather than falling back into comfort or trying to push through too quickly is brilliant. Brava! Looking forward to future posts.
