Got up early today and headed back to Cathedral Rock to keep working...it was wonderful to be there early in the day; shady, much less foot traffic, and I broke down and listened to music as I painted. I usually don't when I'm outside because Nature is filled with music, but I did it and I enjoyed it for three reasons:1.) Headphones make peace with the excruciatingly large family of bugs that buzz in your ears because it's apparently necessary for their survival.
2.) It tells passersby that I'm not...available
3.) I can focus better with music playing.
Art is so incredibly healing and deep. And it's work. It's a wonderful combination.
I went further into uptown Sedona yesterday; went up to Flagstaff via Oak Creek Canyon. Oak Creek Canyon was beautiful, very green and the creek is delightfully cold.
Uptown Sedona on the other hand is...well, terrible. Really cheap (in taste, not $ of course), run-of-the-mill touristy places. Sedona is such an incredibly spiritual place, it's sad to see it juxtaposed with such an low level of consciousness. Oh well, I guess. One thing that's cool about things that are terrible is that you can really appreciate improvement when it happens. Maybe it will here.
