Sharing some snaps from the very mud like beginnings of 4 new pieces. I started these in early spring. They are in one of my favorite formats…tall and narrow at 12” x 48”
It’s been a lot of pouring on paint like stain and pulling in pretty pinks. Letting them shift and change at will. I paused in the midst of my usual “intuitive flow” to take a little excursion into experimenting with incorporating flower shapes. I always get a little obsessed with flowers in the spring;)
I’ll be curious to see if these flowers remain or disappear into the layers in the months ahead. Either way, I suspect these pieces will always have something of a flowing out of Eden vibe.
Eden myths amuse and intrigue me.
I like to imagine…Eve giving an epic eye roll while slamming the gate. Calling out behind her “I can’t do a damn thing with perfection anyway!” Marching away with her Maternal Mitochondrial DNA and tracking mud from Eden all over the place. Sure she made a bit of a mess but honestly nothing would have changed without her. Thank God for Eve. Wink!
Till next time…Be Well!
“At its essence art is an alchemical process. Alchemy is a process of transformation.”
“It doesn’t disappear just because you say it isn’t there, so
When they ask why’d she go you can say ‘cause
Life in Eden...Life in Eden changed”
ps…pretty sure I’ve shared this quote before but it’s just too good not to share again!
“After all these years, I see that I was mistaken about Eve in the beginning; it is better to live outside the Garden with her than inside it without her.”
