Day 43: Martian Sunset

I am reading a book by Brendon Burchard, THE CHARGE, Activating the 10 Human Drives that Make You Feel Alive, and he was talking about how our brain becomes more activated when we engage in something novel or challenging.  He than states that "an engaged brain in a happy brain."  So, it made me think...
If I ask someone to draw a sunset, we all have a set idea of what a sunset looks like, and our brains don't have to work too hard because we have seen this a thousand times. However, if I ask someone to draw a sunset on Mars (or any other planet) we now are faced with a whole new concept that we have never seen and/or given much thought to.

An engaged brain in a happy brain!

Day 42: Negative Spaces

This was actually inspired by my client's painting today. She painted a made up planet.  It's called 'Negative Spaces' because I painted and then erased the white lines.  Not a great day - got some bad news today, but I am looking for the positive lesson within.

Day 6: Home with Two Suns

Traveling across the country. Presenting seminars in Illinois is fun, but I know that home is always waiting for me. Throughout the years, I have often drawn/painted landscapes with either two moon or two suns.  Maybe my soul lived on another planet with two moons or in a different solar system with two suns. (Again I cannot upload picture yet, but you can see this image on my Facebook page Hayes Art Therapy - I will edit the image into this blog post at another day)
