For a while animals have been sneaking into my drawings. My drawings were supposed to be abstract but the animals insisted. And now this bird came. I know what it means. A children’s book wants to come into my world.

This sounds exciting! You’ll have to follow the instructions then.
Looking forward to it 🙂
Thank you. Happy to see you here.
this happens to me too! Since I went to grad school for art therapy and studied Active Imagination and intuitive painting, I also start abstract and birds and dragonflies appear. I had a dragonfly appear in my work while in school so looked up the symbolism and metaphors for it and it fit my work. The dragonfly has the ability to hover and change directions immediately. As an art therapist and art educator who is sensitive to needs of clients/students I need to be flexible and willing to change direction if and when the client or group needs too.
Nice to find like minded friends. I know the joy of having things like this happen. Two kinds of things appear in the art, when you do it intuitively: Information about subconscious contents that stand in the way of happiness and information about possibilities of development. All f these can be perceived because the view is taken from a deeper state than thinking.
We miss these beneficial informations when we rely on thinking only, because thinking narrows and hardens our consciousness. Thinking is useful indeed for many things, but not good for a deeper view. It is only the deeper view that can give us the clear ability to choose happiness.
Thank you for joining the blog readers. I’ll be very happy to share with you whatever will come to me to share.
