That title almost sounds like one of my favorite Monty Python quotes. "I'm not dead yet!" It's from "The Holy Grail", one quotable, awesome movie!
So....I know, I know. You probably thought I was dead since I haven't posted in so long. But I'm not! I'm just forgetful...at least when it comes to my blog. So what's new? I did finish "Urban Angel" and start a new Yoga series. The Yoga Series (that's the official name, creative, huh) currently contains three paintings and one in progress. I believe there will probably be a couple more and then this series will be done or it will evolve into something different. The three that are complete are titled "I Am The Lotus", "Ganesha", and "Honor The Earth" and I am working on "Namasté". They are all warm in color and feature subjects that remind me of my yoga practice.
Here's "Ganesha"...
Speaking of yoga! At the end of this month, I will be attending another training near Kansas City. It will be three days long and bring me much closer to my national accreditation. I really enjoy the trainings because I get to meet incredibly nice people that have a shared interest in yoga. I can have discussions on ALL aspects of yoga and not worry about whether I have have offended someone or not. This is a small town in the Bible belt. Not everyone one is comfortable with discussion about the Bhagavad Gita or chakras and don't get me started on chanting! And...I learn so many new things to share with my students.
Ok, I guess it's alright to tell you all. You are my friends after all, right? I have a problem. It's expensive and addictive and I should probably seek help but I just don't want to give it up. I am an Macintosh Apple fanatic (we're a cult, you know). I have been using them since 1990 and don't understand why everyone doesn't choose Apple but I'm really, secretly, glad that they don't. This whole having to wait to get a new product because of demand thing is new to me and I don't like it one bit! I miss the days when Apples were just for "those creative types". Do PC people have no brand loyalty? They will buy a PC for their home computer but purchase their kids an iPod and the wife an iPhone. You wouldn't catch a Mac person doing that! We stick with Apple products even if they are occasionally crummy. I own a Newton for pitty's sake! Hey! At the time, it was cutting edge, handy, and it only weighed as much as a six pack of Spam. So here I am waiting for an iPhone. I will have to admit that a large part of my problem is that I just can't bring myself to change phone carriers but you don't see me buying a Droid, no sir, I am a Mac User, a MacHead, a Mac Maniac! So while I wait, I try to appease myself with the Apple products I do have. Like now for instance, I have just gone into iCal and set an alarm to go off each week to remind me to post on my blog. Maybe when I get my iPhone, I can even post remotely.......
