"A Lucky Black Cat"

"Lucky Black Cat"  by: Meg O' Hanlon


My name is Meg.  Many years after I sustained a head injury in 1979 I decided to try my hand at art.  Giving myself permission to do art without judging the work became a powerful vehicle that allowed me to use art as an exercise in letting go. I  decided not to get hung up on labels like good or bad; right or wrong.   I like working with mixed media myself.  I don’t like to limit my choices because art is an evolving journey. I like to have fun with it. As you work in different mediums it will reveal things to you as you go. So why don’t you give it a try and maybe you can let go too.  Painting, drawing and art is a barometer that allows you to know where you are by the feelings that arise during the process of creating & letting go.   It's a process and a lot of fun.  So let go & paint something.  If you are interested in purchasing any of my art or posting yours here; please tweet a message to tbistories; thank you.  Also I am starting to run painting for fun seminars if you or someone you know would like to participate please contact me.  Thank you!    -Meg
