I was inspired by my friend Swandive to visit Rob Brezny’s site to see what sorts of nuggets he had for me this week and here’s what I found:

Jackson Pollack (1912-1956) was a pioneer painter. Instead of using an easel, he laid his canvases on the floor. Rather than manually applying paint with a brush, he poured the liquid colors out and then used his whole body to shape his creation, crawling and walking on it. Sometimes he’d employ trowels, sticks, pieces of glass, and other objects to further manipulate the paint. He’s your role model for the coming week, Capricorn. I hope he will inspire you to expand the way you carry out your specialties. Try new techniques. Involve more of yourself in the process. Be willing to get messier than you’ve been before.

Ironically, my day started with me staring at a Jackson Pollack-y painting I did years ago, contemplating expansiveness. Now, I’ve just arrived in California and I’m sitting here in the middle of Silicon Valley doing more of that–and not knowing what the hell I’m doing all at the same time. It’s good to know that the stars are with me.

To messiness…
