Getting Balance

Silhouette Sky #77, Colored Pencil, by Dee Overly
No, I don't do Yoga. I'm a wimp. I admire those dedicated souls who commune with their bodies with this form of exercise.

I'm still working on my Silhouette Sky series. The last few I've added the human figure. My thoughts were on balance when doing this piece. I'm a lover of balance. Life is all about balance.

Fortune and fate, justice and power, debit and credit, mental and emotional, proportional, equilibrium, harmony.... these thoughts all come to mind when thinking about keeping balance in the matters of life.

As artists, we use balance in our designs and paintings to bring about harmonious compositions. Ah, to compose our lives the same way....

Have a grand day!

I'm kind of a wimp - I do yoga but not often enough. It doesn't make sense because I love the way I feel after stretching my body. Oh well, it looks good printed out on every to do list! :-)

A silhouette sky series - very creative! Lovely colours in this one.

I too am a lover of balance. I am constantly assessing my life to make sure that I keep coming back to my centre. I enjoyed reading your thoughts on this.

If only it was so easy to compose our lives in harmonious balance. ;-)

Thank you, Teresa and Andrew for stopping by and reading. Yes, balance is indeed a constant goal. It would so wonderful if it were all as easy as a click of the fingers, wouldn't it.....
