Passion Versus Obligation

Painting isn’t just about stepping up to the easel. It’s about living a life that is filled with inspiration, about creating the space to ruminate and consider and to pursue what fills me.

A Gift of Blackbirds

They visit every day and I’ve come to think of them as black-leather-jacketed street toughs–sort of birdie bad boys. I know that’s not fair. But they’re bigger than the other birds and when they arrive everybody else disappears.

What Are We Missing?

… that has made me think and wonder: What do I miss by being fearful? What would I be amazed by if I wasn’t bound up by old restrictions?

Naked in the Periwinkle, New Blog Posting Schedule

There is a wonderful cartoon by Berkeley Breathed. It was part of his “Dog Appreciation Month” series. In it, a lawyer comes upon a dog sleeping on its back in the sun, in a batch of periwinkle.

Finnie in the Pink

In spite of starting this round of rather scarey treatments, Finnie is doing fine. I wanted to reassure you all that he’s actually handling it amazingly well so far.

Rescue Dog, Finn, Needs Rescuing Again

He notices and appreciates things. When I took this photo, I swear he was on the path to the land grant and stopped in his tracks when saw this rainbow. He stood there for whole minutes before he finally sat down, staying whole minutes more.

Rescue Dog Finn: A New Challenge

It’s just the way life is built, I think–the light and the dark, offering us lessons and tests sometimes and joy and wonder at others. As my friend and blog reader, Grace, would say, “It’s all perfect.” And it really is.

About Me

About High Road Artist IMG 9461 150x150I am Jeane George Weigel, a working artist living in the mountains of northern New Mexico, and I do not think you and I are so different.

Every single one of us longs to know what we ache for, to “follow our bliss” as Joseph Campbell famously put it. You may find yours as an artist, a writer, or a teacher. But I am convinced we all yearn to live what is in our hearts. Some of us spend a lifetime discovering what that is. Some never find it.

This blog is about a journey of self-discovery, yours and mine. I write about the experience of living an artist’s life and share musings and photos as this living experiment unfolds. It is my hope you’ll join in the conversation by writing to me about your lives and I dearly hope something, here, will inspire you.
