Willy Nillys Drawing is meditation. I draw Willy Nillys using a stream of conscious style of drawing. I put my pencil on the paper and allow it to move without thought or judgment. I feel calming energy flow through me as my pencil moves across the paper. My connection to the world around me deepens. I go through the pages of drawings and find something that makes me smile and prepare to paint it. I begin my painting by asking: “What color would you like to be today?” Sometimes the colors come to me right away and sometimes it takes a few layers of different color before it feels right. As I paint some creatures will begin to reveal a bit of their personalities and I will add it to their name, for instance: Goat which is actually three goats; one is eating, another comes up from the earth, and the third comes down from the sky. The sky and earth Goat are watching Goat be nourished by what they created. Sometimes while I paint, my conversations seem to be with a higher power telling me, “You must take care of the earth, the sky, and its creatures, so they can take care of you.” I find this type of communication with a higher power comforting because it is telling me something that makes sense and is healthy for all of us.
