When Full Moon comes around the oceans rise up to their highest, we too
feel the pull on our senses and emotions, a feeling that I often channel into my paintings. I'm not surprised to notice that these Full Moon miniatures usually surface.. at Full Moon!

Walking in Faith

When I paint without a vision of where I'm headed, when I allow colour and water and feeling to carry me into the creation process that just "is", then paintings such as this one are born.

Surrounded by the haunting, meditational light of the knowing Moon, she steps the glowing waters in confidence and faith. Eyes are open, every muscle relaxed, no fear exists in her steps on the uncharted path.
When fear, hesitation, uncertainty hold us back from being strong and moving forward, just one trusting step at a time, with heart wide open, is all that is needed.

Reflecting.

Another Papillon painting  'Reflections' is an aceo, 6.5cm x 9cm.. layers of pencil and gouache on pastel paper. The papillon, a 'butterfly dog', holding court with the transformational Dragonflies and Butterfly. To his left, a Red Robin swoops straight toward the Heart Chakra with a leaf, reminiscent of the post Flood olive branch. Stars float suspended in the night ocean. Full moon rises on the high seas. I love to incorporate beautiful thoughts and intuitions into my art, and as I worked on this one, here is what arose:


I often watch our girls, Bonnie and Jess, involved quietly in their own thoughts.
They are surrounded by peace
They seem to be listening to music I cannot hear, dreaming of voyages I can only hope include me..
Art is so powerful, expressing in one moment what may otherwise take hours to explain, different languages, misunderstandings!
