Charles Wysocki, an Artist’s Perspective

Good Morning. ‘Good Morning.’ (He shows me moss.)

 

What are you showing me? ‘A freshness in new beginnings that is ever present, always available; For those who seek shall find.’

 

Who is speaking please? ‘Charles.’

 

Wysocki? ‘Yes.’

 

Welcome sir. I love your art. Thank you for allowing me to find it. ‘A fine, fun adventure for us both dear!’

Do you have a message to share today Charles? ‘Imagine. Close your eyes and imagine what you want your life to be.’

 

Aren’t we victim’s of circumstance. We play the card’s we’re dealt? ‘If you believe that then that is true for you. Why not ask for more?’

 

How do we begin to imagine what we do not know is possible? ‘Think of someone or something that was a “favorite” of yours. These are little hints, bits of treasure to sift through. a favorite movie or character in a book. Is there a scene in your mind that you always return to? Just because something “is” does not mean that it must remain so. If you are down, dust yourself off. Go outside. Take a walk or a blanket to the park. Turn the tv off, stop scrolling. Notice your shallow breath that needs some depth? Allow yourself to ponder; Dream a little dream. Your reality is yours. You create the life you wish to lead.’

 

There are limitations to some of these dreams. I’m not meant to be a pro hockey player, I’m not built for that. ‘Yes, that is not your blueprint, your design. We are all created with a role to play.’

 

That’s it though, how do we find our own personal blueprint? How do we recognize the person we are meant to be? ‘Follow the treasure map. (He shows me a winding path on a treasure map. X marks the spot.) The clues come to you when you step outside of your mind constraints. The sky, the trees, the birds, they have much to tell should you choose to listen.’

 

Charles? ‘Yes?’

 

You feel familiar to me. You have a kind face. Who were you in another life kind sir? ‘Jules Verne. Yes, Isaac Newton too.’

 

It’s in the eyes. ‘It’s always in the eyes. You cannot create what you cannot imagine.’

 

I suppose not. ‘A simple life is often the most joyous life. There is passion. There is purpose. There is also a state of being. Living from the breath, absorbing from the eyes that which feeds the soul.’

 

Is there anything else before I go Charles? ‘Enjoy the scenery for there is much to see.’

 

Love and peace to you Charles, thank you. ‘It is you I thank, thank you for your visit.’

 

You are most welcome Charles.

 

 

 

Channeled message from Charles Wysocki. Charles was an American artist born in Detroit, MI in 1928. He focused on old New England Americana landscapes. A fun fact is that he sold over $10 million in jigsaw puzzles adorned with his artwork, a few even featured cats. Former President Ronald Reagan loved his art and even invited him to the White House in 1981. I found four huge numbered prints with letters of authenticity on the backs in my local thrift store a week before this conversation. In regards to Jules Verne, he was born in 1828. Jules was a French novelist, poet and playwrite. Three of his most famous works were: Around the World in Eighty Day, Journey to the Centre of the Earth and Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas. Isaac Newtown…Well, you know! He was born on Christmas Day in 1642. When I went to print out Mr. Newton’s picture, the printer stopped after his eyes…Hmmm.

Pictured top left is Jules Verne. Bottom left is Charles Wysocki and Newton is on the right. Notice any familiarities?
