“New Dance,” watercolor by Mary Gow
Happy New Year! Happy Renewed You!
My wish for you this year comes from what I got in a fortune cookie today:
Don’t pursue happiness
– create it.
Happy New Year! Happy Renewed You!

The Joy of Painting Disappearing Images
Integral, by Mary Gow, digitally manipulated painting
This reminds me of Chinese Ink Brush Painting but I don’t need ink nor paper! I’m loving this type of environmentally friendly art! Plus no chemicals!
The image above is one of the dozen or so I painted after opening the box containing the Buddha Board.
I photographed each drawing, and one transformed into another.
The image shown above I then manipulated in Photoshop.
This is a fun process! I encourage you to try it.
The Buddha Board is a perfect way to enjoy the moment
. . . regardless of how the election turned out.

“Sunsational,” acrylic on canvas painting by Mary Gow
When is a painting finished? The more I paint the more I agree with the saying: art is never finished, only abandoned. Who said it is still under discussion but I feel that the artist decides when.
“Peace,” acrylic on canvas, 16 x 20, by Mary Gow
Don’t you like the compactness of classes in the summer? Six weeks of three times a week equals the 17 weeks in fall or winter semester. It’s so efficient.
There were two course instructors. Lorraine Wilner and Paul Gallo. Wilner taught the first three weeks and Gallo taught the last three.
It was from inspiration from Gallo that I decided to keep up the painting and drawing. Thank you Paul Gallo!
My daily paintings have become a meditation practice. I don’t have preconceived ideas of what’s going to appear on the canvas. I’m just going with the flow.
Above is recent painting I titled “Peace.” Holding thoughts of Peace now, more than ever.
