I’ve been a little back on my heels lately. I am sure I am not alone in this aspect. I’ve been trying to find something that catches me and fires me up in a positive manner. Something that pulls me forward in some way.
Any way.
Maybe it will come from the painting above. It is titled Les Heures (The Hours) from the French painter Paul Sérusier who lived from 1864 until 1927. It may not be a name that you know well but he was highly influential in that time and was a pioneer in the development of abstract art. I urge you to look further into his work. Good stuff.
But this piece intrigues me very much and makes me want to pull something from it for myself. I don’t know what it is yet but I want to keep looking. Then hopefully something will come.
As I said, hopefully…

I don’t mean to laugh — but I did. You couldn’t have found a better painting to pair with the phrase “fire me up.” Now that I think of it, the painting pairs well with the phrase “burns me up,” too. It’s not quite abstract enough for me — it reminds me all too much of the wildfires that raged through Texas a few years ago — but it certainly is an evocative image.
