Evolution of an intention...

I've wanted to paint BIG bold painting for years but I haven't known how or where to start.  I received an email from a woman who had seen my art work in The Chalk Farm Gallery and she mentioned Shiloh Sofia McCloud and how much she was learning about painting from her.  I did a search and found out that she gave classes just 30 from me. So, of course, as serendipity took over...she was giving a one day class the next week. I signed up and now I am on my pathway of paint.  She teaches a method of painting that is easy to follow. In class we were to write down one or two words which were our intention for the day and my words were REBIRTH and EXPANSION.
And so I began my painting......with no idea of what I was doing...but when I stepped back and looked, it appeared that I had painted a tiny blue alien coming out of a vagina! LOL  Poor little scared thing!   So I thanked her for appearing to honor the birthing of this desire and then I painted her out and this Lady showed up.  Still quite hesitant, though.

 

 ....so I kept painting.....

and today this Lady showed up.  Still far from my vision, but I feel like I am moving forward.  Those are hummingbirds represented in the painting to honor the little hummingbird that flew into my studio to visit me today.  Tomorrow I will paint more and we will see how this evolves.  Meanwhile check out Shiloh Sofia McCloud's artwork.

Working on new pieces....

After much time setting up the studio.....getting supplies....settling into my new space...I'm back to creating.   These are three small wood  pieces from a cut up old door that I have painted on Reiki symbols and then hidden them beneath the tempered glass mosaic and images of the madonna's face and hands.  I"ve grouted the glass and am waiting to put the colored sealer on.

                                  

Tempered glass mosaic .....

This piece is called "Enter the Gateway"
The grout is all dry and it's time to add the finishing touches to these wall pieces.
The metallic powders added to a sealer will add another layer of color and also seal the grout.


























This next piece is called
"Celestial Starfish"
I have hidden a Reiki Blessing Symbol within both of these pieces.
My intention with these pieces is that they are infused with healing energy.

Playing in the mud.........

Images of Grace

I love these images...faces of grace.  I've collected most of them from France and Mexico.

Ikons

I am in love with images of ikons....faces of serenity, compassion, love, peace
