one last painting 🌈 on my final day in the studio I hung upside down and played with my favorite colors. Here’s a music video and some raw footage for you. On my flight to South Korea, during take off I was editing this upside down video on my phone. I created a longer video with a voice over commentary that is on YouTube now. It’s performing well straight out of the gate! In the first hours it’s grown to be the top ranked video I’ve posted in the past couple months. :) So as I was editing the video on my phone…. The man sitting behind me on the airplane tapped my shoulder and asked, “why would someone paint upside down?” … I said “because it feels good, it’s fun and it helps me think outside the box.” — “wait! That’s you?” He said. We had a conversation about how important it is to turn your world upside down, to get your brain to think differently, to see differently and to experience life differently… something new and fresh always comes. It feels fun to be out of my studio, to be out in the world and to realize I’m the artist from the studio that people can watch online. Lol when I’m in the studio I forget about the outside world. I’m a happy little fish in a bowl. Out in the world I realize that people might be surprised to see my work and there’s a good chance that hanging upside down painting is one of the funkier jobs on the plane… if we passengers all took a survey. Lol ✌🏼 I’m currently chilling at the airport in South Korea — my 21hr trip has expanded to 45hr+ — I’m grateful for yoga right now. It’s keeping me stretched out and comfortable despite the long sitting and waiting. It’s in moments like this when I really really really understand the gift I give myself when I invest my time and money into keeping my body healthy and flexible. 💕 love, cha
