Art Rope Bowls  



         

After a recent health scare, I was told by my physician,  to take it easy and reduce my workload. 

I was a bit confused, by my doctor's advice........ hello! what planet is he from.

I am a fine artist, we are the most laid back people on this planet, free spirited and without barriers. 
We are stuck, in a world we have created, for ourselves outside the existing one we all live in.

I for one is stuck in the 1980's, I listen to 80's singer
Kool and the Gang's 'Get down on it'  every day,  it's part of my daily routine, how cool is that! 

Having said all that, I knew my doctor, only meant well and just wanted me well rested and less stressed, before my next visit.

I knew deep down, that he was right because I'd become entangled, in too many activities and have not had a break, in a long while.

There is always something new to do,adding to my long list of work, and activities.
Sometimes I wonder, how in heaven's name, I created the time, for some of them that are so exhausting and unnecessary. 

I decided to turn this period of rest,to reflect on life and how we get ourselves entangled, in all sorts of activities.  

Good or bad, in anticipation of a result, that reflects the reason we got entangled in the first place.

As an Artist, the only way I could answer for myself and take responsibility, to reduce my workload was to translate my rather hectic lifestyle, into art bowls.
