Raise your hands to the sun!!
This practice of raising my hands to the sun has been a huge help to my mental health. Sometimes if I get down, it takes a lot to raise my hands in praise and gratitude of life, but when I do, I instantly feel better. Maybe not all the way better, but either way it's such a great stepping stone to happiness!
How often do you raise you hands?
The songs sing about it, and how wonderful to raise your hands while the music plays! In fact I painted this piece live at a bluegrass festival!
I always imagine the palms of my hands are soaking up the good energy of the music. A lot of power can be transferred through the hands! Isn't it wonderful!?
This piece has an extra fun element, as it’s a light up canvas!! Yep, see those stars? They light up! I found this canvas at a thrift store and had been saving it for months to create at that specific festival! I had no idea how fitting it would be, as over that weekend there was a meteor shower! We saw shooting star after shooting star, and so the light up star canvas couldn’t have been put to better use. It became such a perfect synchronicity!
Do you also see how it says "Right Place Right Time" in the lower left corner? I put this in because of a conversation I was having with a friend at the time. Everything else was all inspired by the music and bands who were playing. I just did my best to paint what I heard and felt with no pre planning or ideas coming into it!
