Painting preview- To see ALL new work by Xenia Madison and CorkStop Studio artists, come to our show this weekend (details below)Ok, so my new paintings debut to the public THIS Friday evening, May 9 2008 ...in our show,
'Pink Honda & Organic Abstractions' (located at CorkStop Studios, CA)!
My inspiration:
These abstract landscape paintings are inspired by my recent practice with focusing on and living IN the "present moment."
Reason- Unfortunately, I'm an anxious type, always worried about what happened, what COULD happen, what's sure to happen, and so on. It's exhausting! Life today seems frenzied and pressured- work , parenting, family, community, and business matters. Would you agree? Anyway, so I've been trying my luck at being in the here and now, rather than focused on what I can't control- the past nor the future.

By the way- One great resource for learning and practicing "present moment awareness" is to sign up for Oprah's web and book study. It's all based on the latest revealing book by Eckhart Tolle titled, A New Earth- Awakening to Your Life's Purpose. He's the author of the best-selling, The Power of Now. For Oprah's class, click here to read details.
Working with and birthing a painting series, while doing this "inner" work has been both insightful and humbling. Two art insiders have commented that this is my best series ever...hmmm? For the viewers- I hope you'll be able to gain something of value or enlightening to take back into your space, either mentally or emotionally.
Enjoy this preview. If you relate to the teachings I mentioned or to this post in any related way, please send me an email. Love to hear from you and what you're doing to stay in THIS moment.
