Painting As Spiritual Practice: Life Lessons Learned, One Brushstroke At A Time
Painting As Spiritual Practice: Life Lessons Learned, One Brushstroke At A Time

Spiritual truths often arrive wearing unexpected disguises. It’s wrong to assume that the only way to get ‘there’ is by sitting in deep meditation on a mountaintop. True, that method might work for you, but there are limitless ways to arrive at some of the deeper understandings about the nature of Life that don’t require walking traditional routes. Take painting for example . . .

Life: A Work In Progress
Life: A Work In Progress

Each one of our precious, unique Lives are essentially works in progress . . . collectively composed of little 'chips' here and there applied over long stretches of time. And ever-so-slowly with great patience and a continuously evolving sense of inner understanding, forms take shape, things and ideas gradually make more sense . . . destinies become more clearly defined.

Fresh tubes in the wings; Virgos are always on top of their shit . . . @christopherpalbickiartist #acrylicpainting #acrylicpainter #acrylic #goldenacrylics #paint #painting #virgo #virgosbelike #preparedness #ontopofit 🎨🎨🎨
Man, there’s nothing quite as beautiful and evocative as a really nice diorama piece . . . it’s an old art form whose time in the sun didn’t last all that long - reaching their peak between 1900 and 1940. A magnificent collision of various art practices, I’m glad they’re still alive . . . and while bigger, more prominent museums have the lions share of masterpieces, the new Bell Museum Of Natural History in Saint Paul has some stunning dioramas of their own to be proud of. This beauty here is one of maybe a dozen or so on display. Such an awesome museum and it’s literally right down the street from our home . . . It’s the little things that my day! @christopherpalbickiartist #bellmuseum #diorama #dioramas #naturalhistorymuseum #naturalhistory #museums #beautifulart 😃❤️

It’s all about the busted pottery; detail from a new piece in progress @christopherpalbickiartist #acrylicpainting #acrylic #acrylicpaints #painting #paintings #paint #artist #artistsoninstagram #pottery #ancientpottery #relics #nativeamerican #happythursday 🎨🎨🎨❤️😃
A lot of artists only share images of finished pieces, which is fine I suppose, but I say to hell with that. I like seeing how crappy something looks while they’re still working on it . . . like this baby here which has a LONG way to go. These kinds of pictures reminds us all of how every creative attempt is a slowly unfolding project that requires daily attention. That’s what real progress looks like - baby steps! - and I’ll take that any damn day. So bring the works-in-progress pics! Just make sure you get that thing done cuz we’re ALL watching! @christopherpalbickiartist #workinprogress #getitdone #doyourwork #gettowork #artwork #acrylicpainting #acrylic #paintings #makestuff #makeart #warofart #artist #artistsoninstagram 😃❤️🎨🕉☀️🌎
