This is one of my personal favorite paintings I've done. It's actually on display at a gallery right now (🙌). I was really able to capture the soul of the Sonoran Desert. My home. There is something about the way the desert looks as the sun is going down that is just magical. As a painter, I see the world differently. I see things in terms of light and shadow, warmth and coolness (as in: warm and cool colors), and interesting shapes. It doesn't really matter what the actual thing is. It could be a tree. It could be a dumpster in an alley. It could be anything. Our brains are wired to name and identify things and sort them into categories of known and unknown, safe and not safe. Seeing the world as an artist has helped me to make those categories more fuzzy and see that the world around me is just one Whole expressing itself as many parts.

Had an argument with my best friend yesterday. I commented on something spontaneously, that probably I should not. But he did a full scale personal attack in reply. I felt off yesterday but it was brewing so deep, there was no point to address this yet. Woken up this morning and I felt that my ego had really shook at the foundation: on the surface and deep down. I know that it was cause by my friend attacking the part of my ego I like and that the attachment to this caused the pain. I tried to work on it the entire morning, all the techniques etc, being present, meditation, trying to let go, then trying to focus on it, intensyfikacji the feeling, trying to dissolve it. It was very uncomfortable having this feeling in me. Then I just stopped fighting it and I left it alone. A few hours later it dissolved and almost passed on its own. My question is: how do you deal with situations like this. Is it better to try to use techniques to deal with it or let it sit and it may resolve itself? Or thing like this, unresolved will just sink deeper into unconscious and do some dirty work?
