Naked in the Periwinkle

Naked in the Periwinkle, New Blog Posting Schedule

February 3, 2013 by Jeane George Weigel

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.

I 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.
