THE RANDOM THOUGHTS SERIES!
Welcome to the RANDOM THOUGHTS ONLINE PAINTING EXHIBIT!
Thank you for visiting the Online Exhibit!
Here, I share with you, 58 paintings - my random thoughts and emotions during a trying time for me.
My paintings helped released my emotions from deep within. They took control of me. I was lost in each painting that unfolded. They relieved the feelings of loss, worry, uncertainty, hurt, darkness, happiness, life and a positive anticipation of the future.
Painting with my hands, brushless, connected me entirely into the images that were born. There was nothing that seperated me from my paintings. There was nothing in between my paintings and me. For each painting moment, I and the painting were one. It was a 100% connection. A 100% transfer of thoughts, feelings and senses, from me, using the paint, to the paper. My soul exposed, through the images and colors.
Or perhaps, it's the other way around, the paintings did consume me and my soul. The images took form on their own and just used me, as a vessel - drawing, absorbing and manifesting what was within me.
-------------------------------------
During the past month, a lot of things happened to me, life changing things. Decisions that would affect my life were made. Circumstances that would affect how I am with my brother overwhelmed me. He was missing, and now we found him.
My uncle, Tito Warren, found Joseph, my brother, early this week. In the end, christmas is truly a christmas for us! We celebrate his return. I am so thankful, Joseph is back.
I am blessed to have a second chance to be a better sister, a better person. I am blessed to once again accept that life is so fragile. It could be here one moment, gone the next. There are things we can't control which affect us immensely. That because there is life, there is also death. Nothing and no one must be taken for granted. All these realizations make me blessed, because they opened my eyes. I want to be better, as a human being, more appreciative of what is around me and of what I have.
-------------------------------------
For a while, I thought, I lost Joseph, forever. He was missing for ten days, along with thousands of others, in the coastal town of Infanta, Quezon, Philippines. Thousands perish from the two consecutive typhoons, the flood and the mudslide.
It used to be a beautiful idyllic town on the east of Luzon. I was born there. Life is so enjoyable, no rat race, a perfect place to relax. An ideal place to have a house by the beach. People know each other. People are hospitable, warm, friendly and helpful. Almost everyone is a relative of some sort. It was a very nice place.
And now it is gone.
But just for now. People there are resilient. Survivors will grieve for their lost loved ones, but they will move on. They will rebuild the town and perhaps, make it even better.
I just hope that the cause of this disaster - (the mudslide due to deforestation) that killed and affected thousands - the illegal loggers and their cohorts, would have their day in court and their day to answer to society and the higher power.
-------------------------------------
I dedicate this exhibit to my kids, Nigel, Nicole and Brent, they are my three most precious gems!
I dedicate this exhibit to Joseph, my brother. Welcome back home. I love you, we all love you!
I also dedicate this exhibit to those who perish and to those who are left behind. In memoriam - Infanta, Quezon, Philippines - Typhoon Nanmadol, December 2004.
-------------------------------------
Regarding any question you have, you can directly post your comments, in here.
I hope you enjoy the paintings and somehow discover your own random thoughts through them!
As I keep telling everyone - BE HAPPY!
Enjoy, but be good to yourself!
Life is just too short!
