#bluerstill

I purposely added these two pics...the color is a deep blue. "Bluer Still," back and working its mystery in my life. Dark canvases rendered in oil , are so hard to photograph! And yet, guided by my 'inner muse,' I don't give that thought until it's time to try to focus a lens in it. The series continues; "Linen." #oilpainting #creativeprocess #bluestill #bluerstill #soulwork

Bluer Still. Celebrating, if you will the darkness of soul, the times when you question (DOUBT) your very existence. The times when “a way out” seems like a solution for everyone but you... Been there; but sit in it, let the lessons learned in the dark help you cherish the sunny days. #solitude #bluestill #bluerstill #soulreflection Link in bio. https://www.instagram.com/p/CHYtwPbn3ap/?igshid=4a09pr0e50he

...the dark, the veiled uncertainties of existence. Don’t flee, don’t dodge it, sit with it. In, what is dark, what is unclear, there lies possibilities. #darkness #creativity #bluerstill #artist #morningmeditation #eddielhudson

When all else fails: do the work, try again. It occurred to me this week: the excitement of “creating,” by definition “something out of nothing,” that’s what gives life! When we aren’t creating, when we are forced to sit, to walk and stand in line, repeat tasks as if we’re machines, that’s when humanity crumbles. The work is difficult; too many times, granite walls appear out of nowhere. But chisel through. Beat on it till it breaks! #bluerstill #creativity #artist #eddielhudson

In my case, I’m not trying to “work something out,” as in “expel.” No this process is about expression. Now about these “blues...” You spend your life going through this process, making these turns and navigating the “avenues of dead ends...” #bluerstill #artist #artistoninstagram #creativity

In the Dark...some have peered into the abyss. State long enough and you might see you staring back... #bluerstill #igartists #creativity #thoughtsbecomethings #thoughts #oilpainting

Simple question, but the answer may have you looking for a teclight! All too often, we don’t dare peer in that creepy space. We knew what we threw in it, we just don’t want to face what it’s become! #thoughts #igartists #bluerstill

Oil slick shiny! Revisiting this theme: “Bluer Still.” It sat long enough. I wasn’t satisfied so I went back and darkened it and put a “spit shine” on it. But I can see where it will a couple more coats of indigo and linseed oil. It is after all, the deeper blues, the type where bed time is all the time. We all have them, even when we function as if everything is fine. #bluerstill #creativity #oilpainting #betterinblue #betterinperson
