inspirational quotes – Reina Cottier Art

eventually, decided to go with some NZ fern & flax, this is a start, and like before when I had just done my moon I will now look at it for a week or more everyday, and wonder what it needs, and only when the time is right, can I allow myself to pick up paint and add to it…its a unexplainable thing, its not a mental thing initially, its about a feeling. Its purely internal, and I know if I ‘try’ before that feeling arrives, it will be a disaster, so I wait it out, and all of a sudden i will feel it take a ‘risk’ (cos sometimes, no, most times Im slightly freaking out ‘IS THIS THE RIGHT NEXT STEP?? oh well just do it!”, and most of the time it is.

So until that moment arrives for my moon, I wil keep on with my words and art collages, SOOOOOO enjoying them, totally satisfying to be combining the two talents i have, playing with words, and being artistically creative. I like to tell a very short story, or should i say send a very short message with them, hopefully inspirational. 🙂

All the art is cropped pieces of my own original art, and the words I chose myself.

I REALLY love that quote. SO sums up me, my art, my life, everything. (I have no idea who wrote it and there was no one credited with the quote where i found it, so i take no credit for it what so ever).

For years I have ‘waited for the storms to pass’..the old saying ‘this too shall pass’… so we sit it out, bravely, strongly and we wait and hold our breath and its excruciating…instead of stepping right into it, facing it, acknowledging it and realising ‘it’ cant kill us, we just have to change our perception of ‘it’.

So many cliches we are conditioned to live by,its criminal….

.. its still going to rain, its always going to rain! Learn/change to love it, every single freakin drop..and your whole world will change. I promise. 🙂

Life doesn’t ‘happen to you’, YOU create it.
