Paz en el Corazon  Peace in the Heart

Looks like it won't keep raining for the day and the skies may be clearing up. I'm off for a slow walk to the art store. My leg is feeling much better.

Today I will start painting on the condoms and see how the paint sits. Unlike my other Little Girls, I will be working without any type of sketch. I will trust in the strokes and know that in the end they will end up as they are meant to be.

As a little kid, I remember Mama saying that all she ever wanted is to have 'Paz en el Corazon.' These words have stuck with me over the years. It means to 'Have peace in the heart.' Today, I will work from that place of peace. Interesting that I will be painting on condoms, as I believe Mama would not approve or maybe understand. But, I am fortunate enough to know that she is supportive of my work and only wishes for my happiness and peace in life. It's all she wants for her 5 kids.

The piece to the left is titled Corazon de un Bobo. It translates into Heart of a Clown. It's a piece I painted for myself. It is part of my Little Girl series called Evolution. I painted the first corazon (heart) in honor of Mama and the words that continue to shape my life. I am grateful for the loving kindness she has been in everyones life. She is my angel.

May you all have a beautifully peaceful day.
