New beginnings and a mad flowering
I cannot stop painting flowers of late. Flowers in full bloom, flowers lush and open in their fullness, open to the sky and the earth. A sense of embracing, being fully able to receive all that life has to offer now. Flowers like dancers, graceful in their beauty, stems flowing where the elements gently nudge it. Flowers in layers of colors and textures – one part dream, one part life.
Even my Tree paintings are coming up full of blossoms and color, just like the trees outside, drinking in the sunshine and gorgeousness of warm days and birds singing.
Perhaps, it’s because it is Spring. Perhaps, it’s all of the new beginnings that are worth celebrating. A new year, new resolutions, new studio, new commitments to myself – to be better as a human being, a mother, a friend, a wife – to live fully in the present, receiving and giving gracefully and joyfully.
Whatever it is, this energy inspires my latest works. A flow and wash of colors, vibrant as Spring, tender as the newness of Life forming. There is so much more where this comes from, I am obsessed. All I see are colors, and flow in my mind’s eye. All I want is to paint broad swashes that meld into flowing colors, to create petals and blooms, a dance of brush and sponge on canvas – put on paint, take it away, leaving behind delicate lines, streams and rivers of light. I am intoxicated. I might never leave this Season behind…
For now, enjoy a sampling of this flowering with some of my latest works below. Drink in the colors and brightness and in return, may it inspire a gentle flowering of sorts for you too.
A Flowering Prayer
