Linda Carter Holman Paintings

[lindacarterholman]

The proof reading of my new little book is almost finished. Although I wonder if it ever is. It is a documentary of sorts. Following the creation of an idea and all the thoughts that build the story from beginning to completion of the painting and more. Pictures and thoughts from our house and my Red Shoe Studio. The evolution of a painting.

Happenings around the house. Inside and outside. Still at work on my new book. Book, Brush and Broom. Reshaping the front area. Working on a new walkway. Turning 0ver ideas. Waiting to see what will come.

At work on my new project Book, Brush, and Broom. Putting it in order so that I can move on. The method I use is not unlike my painting process. I start to see that what I have learned about painting…..putting a canvas together….idea to hanging the finished oil on canvas on the wall is no different than anything else I do. I just never noticed,

After all was said and done.

Working on my new project….the building of a painting. What’s going on in my head and on the canvas. One picture at a time.

‘”Ticket to ride” rearranging this morning. When the inside changes so does the outside.

From Rumi….this becoming human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival. Every day, too, at every moment a different thought comes, like an honored guest, into your bosom. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor. Welcome and entertain them all.#Rumi #kitchen #lanterns https://www.instagram.com/p/CqW10bErBga/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Magic Carpet…oil on canvas… “Magic carpet, sun and moon…rise and glide! Tumble weed. Roll past. Fragrant moments gone, forever last.” #carterholman #desert #detura https://www.instagram.com/p/CoShiOHPg-7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My Little Corner of the World. How do you spend your day? When the question came to me I felt my answer was not quit right. Thought about it for some time. Ready now…”Linda, how do you spend your day?” “Book, Brush, and Broom.” #han-shan #coldmountain #monk #favoritethings https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm9vn8wvMHP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

And their feet move Rhythmically, as tender Feet of Cretan girls Danced once around an Altar of love, crushing A circle in the soft Smooth flowering grass #Sappho #marybarnard #carterholman #comingtogether #asone https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl4LHlNPHL0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
