hanuman in progress, ego in check

 working on the details today... listening to music...
 a perfect day off from school... even got called on
some ego stuff by a close friend and glad she did -
now i understand a little bit better why another
friend treated me the way they did...
it's all connected.
 hanuman colors... titan buff, indian yellow hue and mars yellow
with a bit of burnt umber:)
reference... 

this (second) line below (in red) from the hanuman chalisa
has been stuck in my head all day:
Jai Jai Jai Hanuman Gosai
Kripa Karahu Gurudev Ki Naiee
Hail-Hail-Hail-Lord Hanumanji! 
 I beseech your Honor to bless me in the
capacity of my supreme 'GURU' (teacher). 
interesting because i now believe that the guru
is within each and every one of us...
so that is how i will translate that line...

not that my acrylic paints are great for the environment...
but my contribution today to earth day (besides
not driving in my car and giving my veggie and fruit peels
to my friend to use in her garden - thanks karen!)
was - using my pants (instead of paper towels)
to clean off my brushes...

happy earth day and
hail hail hail - to your inner guru!
