Thank you so much, Shelley, for letting me know about your painting...It is absolutely powerful and looks extremely uncensored and very authentic!!! The painting reminds me very much of a healing shaman's painting! Incredible! Please let me know when you post more paintings!
Hi Shelley,
What an intriguing painting! I like the way the entities are outlined ... I like contrast a lot :) So many subtle details to take in! How long did you work on this intuitive painting?
I came here from seeing your comment on Camille's page ... she may not be online for a bit ... her boyfriend is hospitalized and gravely ill. Check out the blog she posted on 8-20, Prayers for a loved one, you can find it on her page. Extremely sad times for her ... I don't know when she will feel up to being active at CCS again but we'll sure be here when she does.
I keep a daily journal that I write in as much or as little as I feel like. I also write a gratitude journal at bedtime working through my day writing what I am grateful for. I also write about any problems i am having and clear my mind ready to sleep.
Your collage journal sounds interesting. What do you do in it? Do you do large collages and writing or just collage?
lots of love from susan in australia
Hi Shelley! Oh how I wish I was a productive painter like Michelle Cassou! But I am glad that you enjoy the ones posted. I want to start again, but it is scary to start after not painting like that in awhile...
Technique just comes intuitively. It is so freeing not to have to worry about, composition, color choices, subject, proportions,perspective...I love not having to make decisions in the paintings, and not planning anything, but to just paint through them...I get a lot of mud paintings also, but as Cassou and a member reminded me recently, the mud periods are temporary and are sort of like a clearing out, or cleansing process needed to evolve.
It is cool to go back and look at them! There are some x-rated paintings that still shock me! The finished product is always a surprise! Is it that way for you also?
Have you posted any of your intuitive painting on CCS yet?
I will have to do some perusing... You already know that I think your collages are awesome!!!
What is your preferred medium? Collage or painting?
From what I read in your blog, you are also one of those multi-talented artists that always inspires!
I have a huge history with the Cassou process...I love her books, her artwork and her way of guiding painters to find their own authentic imagery! I am looking forward to seeing some of your paintings, Shelley!
Your collages are really wonderful to look at....I keep looking and lookiing! So much color, and mystery and pattern and texture!
Each collage is an awesome adventure, a curious dream, a love affair with image!
Bravo Shelley! So glad you have joined us at CCS...your work will add lots of extra pizazz to already verry pizazzy community! Welcome aboard! Sincerely Camille

Thanks for stopping by to look Shelley! I am amazed with your collages- I have only done a few (I posted them in WWRWTW group, because they were soulcollage and inspired by the book- I don't think I added them to my album- I may have to do that one of these days :-)

Hi Shelley! Welcome to CCS! I see you have already joined a couple of groups that I also hang out at so I hope I will see you around adding to the groups and conversations!

Welcome Shelley. Your collages are wonderful. How awesome to work so spontaneously! A special welcome to Dreamativity too. Post one of your dreams and let the interpretations begin!
Happy you are here, Shelley :) I'm a member of the SoulCollage yahoo group, and one of the members there posted an invite to Coach Creative Space last fall ... I found my tribe here :) I think you'll like it!

An Intuitive Painting...Called "Soul Speak"Your collage journal sounds interesting. What do you do in it? Do you do large collages and writing or just collage?

Please don't be intimidated by our good looks! We're all just really nice folks who love encouraging others on their journey!
Yes Michelle Cassou books have been my painting bibles over the past ten years.
With out reading those books these paintings might never have been created:

It would really be pleasure to see your intuitive paintings also! Will you be posting them at CCS?
