Ever the 1980s, my focus has been on personal growth, spirituality and lately a more grounded and centred transformational path. If you've got an inner yearning for conscious inner transformation and are looking for a bit of company, a different point of view or even validation, then this blog might be for you! Over the coming months, I intend to provide helpful insights and reviews of transformation techniques, drawing on my own experiences and inviting others who's wisdom I value. All that, and a little humour along the way!
As I’ve been asked to share some of my work, I thought I’d include a few of my more recent paintings in a few posts.
I painted this last year in acrylics on canvas. We have a small rainforest at the front of our house and I was inspired by the sun dappling through the leaves. I actually used a couple of different leaves as stencils to add paint to the canvas.
While I’m certainly no Picasso, I have found that my style has become more fluid over the years, and I’m also to paint a lot more easily “from the inside out” rather than needing to copy an object directly. I put this down to the inner work I’ve done over the years, that has freed up my creative spirit as well as releasing the Inner Critic.
The Inner Critic was a part of me that judged my work as I painted and very often completely stifled my creative flow, often resulting in tears of frustration. These days, I’m happy to let the creativity flow and often delighted with the result. (And I don’t mean that in a big-headed sense, but in the sense of being genuinely pleased with the effect I’ve created with the medium I’m using).
Here are a couple more… http://www.flickr.com/photos/47720769@N08/sets/72157623463408662/

Great work Aannsha.
Just pick up the brush and paint your heart out whenever you get the inspiration without letting any inhibition restrict you. Just let yourself flow.
