Do You Like Watching Someone Draw?

I have been posting weekly short drawing videos on Youtube. I use drawing to connect with my own feelings and connect myself with the world around me and the feelings of others. I have taught free-style drawing as a natural way to develop empathy since the 1980s. Sometimes just watching someone draw brings a lot of feeling to light. And, reminds us that we are natural-born creators. Taking a blank page and suddenly a person who was not there before is there. That feels magical. https://youtube.com/shorts/63xJ_UTnSio?si=4IErAe29cClRSZIRHere is a recent one (just click on “Watch on Youtube”):

New Painting Series

You are on a personal journey, living life as the hero of your very own fairytale. With this new painting series I immerse in and visually express the sensations of wonderment, sorrow, fear, beauty and ultimate triumph found in fairytales. Each of us has our own ideals which give us meaning as we wind our way through perceived obstacles, fraught with danger but also filled with love and insight. It is our personally held ideals that remain our companions, whether we betray them or not, they are within us. Light and shadow, color create the scenes which take us on our way through choices and experiences. This is a detail of one now showing at Gallery on 10th in Columbus, GA: Fable: She Encountered a Bear Elaine Clayton 2023

The Way of the Empath

Sensing what is “unseen” in the way of the emotions of others (and even thoughts, nuanced implications) is not uncommon for humans because of our primal instincts. Knowing “what’s up” is part of survival. But we are trained to tune out a lot of what we intuitively perceive, to stay focused on an overriding agenda or task at hand. If you are sensitive and absorb the feelings of others, or wish to develop your “quiet knowing” to consciously use it, this book is for you!
