Grounders, Spinners, Dreamers
Some folks are grounded - connected to the Earth. Others are spinning around in their own heads. And us dreamers are floating around into space LOL

On Day 86 of daily meditation + painting, I started blending layers a bit more.
I painted the cloudy Depression layer, cut holes with exact-o knife…

Daily Art Practice: Meditation + Painting (Part 5)
