I finished the Pink Rhino painting. Except that I don't call it "Pink Rhino" anymore. It became the story of reuniting.
Before I dive into this, lemme just tell you that yesterday was the first day that I have not posted in month and a half. Reason was that I was traveling from Vancouver to Acapulco, to join the sold out Anarchapulco conference. And Vancovuer, as much as it's a beautiful gem of a city, is really far from everything and not the best place to get to other places in the world from. I say we got two, max three good destinations which are geographically well positioned for us Vancouverites: Hawaii, California and Alaska. Because I don't like States that leaves me with one place where I can fly to more easily then from the East cost- Hawaii (which of course does not belong to USSA , but is USSA illegally occupied territory). Most other destinations are way easier to get to from Toronto.
For me, to get to Acapulco, which is not that far from Mexico city, it took me over 13h journey. I had to wake up at 4am to get a flight at 6:40 (thanks to 911 bullshit terrorist government fear regulations that fuckep up all air travel worldwide but sure did create lots of redundant airport-bully jobs), got to Mexico city at 3pm, waited for 3 hours for connection flight and didn't get to Acapulco before past 7pm. Both flights were full. Over 13 hours journey, fastest connection. Yup in this sense Vancouver really sucks.
This is just to show you the distance if there was a direct flight....still over 8 hours flight. But there is no direct flights of course...
By the time I bought my ticket to get a cab from the airport (you can't just flag a cap, you have to stand 1 hours in a stupid airport cab ticket line up) and finally checked in my room, it was past 9pm and I was ready to crash, dead exhausted. So that was my first day off Steemit in a long time, but kinda forced... Who'd say that a flight from North America to North America could kill a whole day! And thanks God I did not fly through States! Otherwise the headache from government terrorists wearing uniforms would be even worse! What a guinea pig deep state experiment of a "country"...sad.
Now I'm happily installed in a nice suite at Princess resort hotel right at the beach, with my awesome buddy Ed Bugos, who is chief financial analyst of The Dollar Vigilante and one of its co-founders. By now probably the biggest anarcho-capitalist group in the world (Jeff Berwick led). I finally have time and place (sunny patio which alone is probably bigger than my Vancouver apartment) to get back to my Steemit world!
"I will find you" is what the Pink Rhino evolved into. I had no idea where I'm headed, as is often the case with my painting style.
The initial sketch took me about an hour only. It went very smooth, which is a proof to me that I am doing the right thing, because I am aligned with the source of inspiration, which of course is withing me but also beyond me, in the great universal pool of all inspiration and wisdom.
6x5feet is probably my most favorite size to paint. I mean I would love to paint bigger (and I sometimes do), but 6x5 seems like a perfect size when I can still easily scale the components in the head while I am holding the brush, without having to step back and see from 3 meters distance what how my brushstrokes actually fit the greater image. It is also the perfect size which is large enough to have a great visual impact in the space where it's hanging, while still being pretty practical for transport and storage (8 footers get more difficult....).
Despite this size, I went on it super fast and it just poured out of me.
I let it dry and pondered what next to do with it. I loved it already but I knew it's not finished (although In the future I'd love to develop a style that lets me do 1 hours pieces of this size, keeping very raw and blunt, just like Picasso did, but in my own style).
I worked on other small pieces (and an 8x6 footer too that I will show you soon enough!) at the meantime, until I got that idea of the floating island inhabited by a boy who is looking for his soulmate out in the vast web of Cosmos. That girl sitting on Rhino's back is his soulmate, and the Karma (energy) lines connecting them (they not that visible on the photos but hopefully you can see them!) are a proof that....
Girl detail, not a greatest photo, but gives you a sense...
Indeed, I will find you....because I already found you.

I believe that everything in Creation is connected, and that everything eventually comes back to its source, the Primary Creator. I also believe that what we call "soulmates" might be the one and single soul searching for it's counterpart, and also an unresolved karmic debt that has to be addressed before it can be healed/released. We keep on meeting the same person disguised in different bodies over and over again, until we learn what the mirror of our lover showed you in us.
Boy on the floating island detail...
.
It's never about changing the other person. It's always about seeing ourselves in the light of truth, without the veil of ego.
And I am finally starting to see my own patterns that kept me stuck in the loop in countless relationships, with many lovers, for many lifetimes.
I am starting to see, that all I ever wanted, was what I already, and ALWAYS had. I just have been looking in the wrong places, outside of myself.
Thank you for being the mirror for my vision . I love you.

And what is your experience with the "other part" of your soul? Is it still wondering around the Universe looking for you? You will find each other, because in a different time and place, you never left each other. You are connected like your body is to the Divine breath.
Thank you for reading, upvoting, commenting and resteeming!
Much Love to all!
The end result and its creator, looking "high" I was told...:)
