Swirl girl



I like swirls - especially when they are sugary and on a cinnamon bun. These are more meditative (although one could argue that consumption of cake is the same thing!).

I've been reading about the power of the labyrinth. I was going to talk about these relaxing alternatives to finding oneself lost in a maze. However, by the power of the vine, I have instead been swirling of a different nature.

There is something equally therapeutic about swirling around the kitchen, music pumped up incredibly loudly on headset (don't want to wake sleeping child or annoy other half who is performing his own meditation on the shrine of Arsenal).

This swirling journal page has numerous quotes about finding ones way, but I have lost interest in them. I am instead immersed in sound - expensive sound. It makes a difference.

Posting for Inspiration Avenue's swirly theme and Sunday Sketches.

  1. Very yummy! There's nothing more meditative than being able to eat a whole page of cinnamon buns!! Lisa? Lisa? Can you hear me??

  2. I love labyrinths too. Although I can see how the process of making your swirls was relaxing, I find your color choice invigorating. Great piece!

  4. Fantastic :-) - as always, I love the way you write your witty posts! Lovely vibrant red & I love writing in art. I'd be interested in your deeper thoughts on labyrinths & meditative swirls but meanwhile hope the vino hasn't induced a headache & you're still happily spinning to your music. There's something magical about listening to faves via earphones - like the music has a more direct access to your soul. (now I sound like I've been on the vino but actually last night it was vodka & a girly giggle at a Body Shop party :-))

  14. I can't read the words but the red and black give this a swirling dervish feel to it to me, a fast spinning dance meditation to be sure! I see you spinning around your kitchen to the fast music! Lots of action here to be sure!

  16. Beautiful! The swirls almost look like a bunch of red roses. With the words, this would make a neat art journal page.

  20. This is both delicious and stylish. I'd love to see this on the exposed brick wall of a cafe.

  21. Bloody football... why do they need peace and quiet just so they can yell at the tv... Sinus is like that with the rugby... drives me nuts... but for us football season is just 2 months away from being over... cricket doesn't seem to need the same volume or require yelling ... makes it a winner in my book... nice swirls though... great colours...xx

  23. Lisa, it's so wonderful to be up and about a little. I've missed peeps out here and especially your art. I love this piece. The black and white, with the red as the focal point is amazing! Love the action and emotion wrapped up in one. :)
