A Brush With Life: Releasing Awareness Through Painting

By Kendra Barron

Dear Reader,A well-lived life is like a beautiful work of art. Our lives begin as a blank canvas which gradually fills with experiences that reflect our personal focus. Each of us selects a unique palette of colors and an energy style that express our attitudes and feelings.A BRUSH WITH LIFE was inspired by my study of the I Ching. I was exploring sacred wisdom in order to gain personal insight and wanted to learn how to approach and understand the life issues that we all share. The I Ching outlines and defines these sixty-four basic life experiences which include creativity, gain, loss, peace, alienation, beginning and completion. An incredible journey unfolded when I chose to create a series of large paintings on full-size doors. This process caused me to more closely examine my feelings for and interpretation of each of these sixty-four life experiences.I now wish to share this experience with you and invite your participation. The book contains a description of and a painting for each life experience. I have included stories from my life that inspired each painting as well as observations about what I learned from the painting process. In addition, I have included suggestions for personal inquiry and space to record your reflections within the pages of this book.Thank you for joining me in this exciting and valuable journey.Kendra Barron
