I’m messing around with more paint, starting on #2 for my series of perhaps 10 landscapes. It’s part of the homework for my acrylic painting class. The process is very meditating and playful. As I am swirling my brush through the paint on my palette, the phrase of playing in the fields of the lord popped into my head. I felt I was playing in reverence with our Lord.
The phrase came from At Play in the Fields of the Lord, a movie I saw long ago. It’s based on the book written by Peter Matthiessen. Sounds like a good read. I have the movie on cassette. Not sure whether I’m up to watching it again. I remembered it was long and hard to sit through it all. However, I am intrigued by the book and have reserved it from the library.

Who knows how much different the book is from the movie? I remember how annoyed I was with the movie adaptation of “A Wrinkle in Time.” The story was changed way too much. Meg, the protagonist, was insecure about her appearance because she had braces. And she felt that she didn’t fit in. The actress did not have braces. Meg had three brothers in the book and only one in the movie and on and on it goes. So you may like the book more than the movie!!!!
I will see how the book is. My attention span is limited these days. It doesn’t help that I’m trying to read 2 – 3 books at a time.
I think painting landscapes would be easier for me because I have trouble getting the proportions correct with people and animals.
Struggling with the proportions would be more frustrating than relaxing for me.
Practice makes for better, Doug. Then it could be relaxing.
How neat that you find your art meditative! A great way to combine going inward and doing what you love.
