Anger, irritation, anxiety, stress which may come from fatigue of the brain.
How to relax the brain?
This Cypress Grove in Mendocino is perfect spot for it.
Surrounded by cypress trees, can see the ocean between trees.
Inside is very quiet and isolated from the world.
Just sitting inside gazing at the ocean, feel the energy of trees while breathing deeply.
Emerge from there with smile😊.
What a soothing, clean feeling🌈💖
This location is Big River, CA.
It was a sunny morning. Several Kayaks were on the river.
It was a mild day with fresh air. What an enjoyable morning.
I took a photo, when I got home I looked at the photo, there is a mysterious blue ray.
I don’t know what it was, but it’s beautiful.
I painted.
We can make a story about blue bridge for a location at which somebody can land on this earth😊.
By the way, today is July 7th which is 7/7.
In Japan we write our wish on small charming paper and hang on Sasatake which is small bamboo branches for prayer.
An old story about “Tanabata†is the night of July 7 when Orihime and Hikoboshi cross the Milky Way and meet only once a year, when wishes are written on strips of paper decorating bamboo throughout villages. The wish colorful decorations swing with the wind.
People go out in summer Kimonos with Japanese fans.
It’s a quaint atmosphere.
Now they say, “Wish and release to universe.†I like this simple custom while looking at the stars.
Let’s wish with a nice smile tonight😊❤️.
I didn’t go out to paint for long time.
I love to paint early morning. cooler than afternoon, in a location with fresh air, without much wind, and good lighting.
The grass is all dried, turned golden. I discovered recently I love smell of dried grass, a kind of sweet fragrance.
When we cycle to play tennis, we pass this cattle ranch, often many cows and caves graze on grass.
But when I went to paint none of them were there. This ranch is huge, other side of the road is same owner’s ranch, maybe they moved cows there.
At first I was disappointed without cows, but really enjoyed painting there with fresh air, birds singing.
When I finished, I felt silence infiltrating this painting, the feeling was just like after meditation.
This location is at Jug Handle Beach, CA.
When I was painting “1119. Light Steps at Jug Handle Beachâ€, I wanted to paint on a bigger, long and vertical Gallery Wrap Canvas, 36†x 12†x 1-1/2â€.Â
This location is same place as my painting “1124. Peaceful Fantasyâ€, a little different angle of the view and a very sunny day.
Cheerful, joyful air makes us jump, right?
Hop, Step and Smile😊❤️!!
Please keep the feeling inside of you always, you will have a happy life, why not?
