NEW WORKS FROM THE STUDIO OF ART BY WENDY
The Fire Monkey's intelligence and inventiveness bodes
well for your artistic creative side. Also, his nimble mind mine means he is quick to see outside the box and ready to try new
things. ( Not surprising Leonardo da Vinci was born in the Year of
the Monkey.)

The Chinese New Year is coming - February 8, 2016. The Year of the Red Fire Monkey
 |
| THE FIRE MONKEY - by Becky McMahon - Chinese Brush Painting |
My guest today, an artist friend, BeckyMcMahon of Triskel Tree Creations. Becky is a Chinese Brush Painter and each
year she creates her own interpretation for the Chinese Horoscope. I am pleased to have her Fire Monkey as a
guest today.
Becky says,"Monkeys
are clever, intelligent, have a good sense of humour and open minded. Focus is
extremely difficult for them and they can be deeply insecure. But
they are never at a loss for words or ideas and can usually maneuver
around any troubles their weaknesses get them into. Monkeys are incurable
optimists and are generally good with people.
This year is good news for Artists.
The Monkey is also fast and mischievous. A warning that changes
will come, and quickly. Long term plans may fall aside, quick
thinking and adjusting to change may be in order.
Sounds exciting, eh?!
Don't let this year happen, be ready for it!
First off, clean up your
house. Sweeping out the bad luck and
getting ready for the good luck is important. Cleaning the house also means cleaning
up business affairs, finishing up old jobs, getting your financial books in
order. (Even Revenue Canada supports
those values!!)
Secondly, prepare your food ahead for the big day. Cutting with knives on New Year's Day may
'cut off' your good luck. Making Red and
Gold Banners to decorate; honoring your ancestors; and getting fresh flowers are next on the list. I have already started here. In China, it is Lucky Bamboo and Orange
Trees but I have new tulips and primroses ready to go.
These are all good things, for you as an Artist, removing the
clutter from your everyday life will definitely leave you free to tap into the
creative spirit. You will be ready to jump 'outside your box' to try new
things.
Have a great Chinese New Year and I hope it brings big creative
changes for you.
Me, I have to get back to my books, not all my financials are
done yet!!
