Someone once said, "When you're pressed, what's inside comes out". I see this evidenced in my life. I have been pressed on every side this summer...beyond what anyone should need to bear...and here's what emerges from my soul: This painting is a result of showing up at my easel, putting brush to paper without prior conceptualization or thought, and seeing what happens. What comes out. The painting is meant to be open to interpretation...every viewer brings to the event their own feelings, imagination, eyes. I see storm clouds...but they're moving. I see rough seas becoming calm as they reach the shore. I see land, dark and distant, but an opening--a cove--for safe approach. I see reflections...mirrors to the moment. I see light...bright and glowing light...that remains constant despite the storm's attempt to obscure and cover. That's what is inside me...an ever present knowing that Light is within reach, just beyond the darknes...
Twelve Noon on New Year's Day. Happy 2014! I absolutely love New Year's Day...its a new beginning, a fresh start. Its a chance to grow, learn, change, appreciate, and love...just a little bit better, a little bit more, than the year before. Building upon all that I learned, I journey forward into this budding pathway. I have some new things I want to try, some new thoughts I want to think. Join me in this voyage we call life...the adventure of a brand new year! AND, as is tradition at Dragonfly Arts, the first painting of the year ("Comes the Dawn" pictured above) is given to the first person who asks for it...free! (This one is painted on aquaboard and is 5"x7") My email is dragonflyartsofmaine@yahoo.com
"Sunflower Dawn"~~framed with gold metal and white mat, 11"x14" $180 "Sunflower I" ~~ matted, unframed, ready for 11"x14" frame $135 Sunflowers have inspired me lately...as they do every fall. Attempting to capture the fluidity and flexibility of the petals this year. Still a work in progress, but my creative spirit is engaged and working! Going with the flow...reducing expectations...breathing in and out...simple things, but they make the days just a bit easier.
