Deep Inside / December 4, 2024

Deep Inside

walk deep inside the
ordinary sacred paint
decisions with me

detail, up close and personal;
The Invitation to Turn Toward the Truth of What Does Not Change

    1. MaryAnn, thanks for your keen attention to the strokes, splatters, scribbles, and snippets. Terrific description—I could not—and did not!—encapsulate this detail any better : )

      Affirming and fun to know you, too, find this up close and personal view mesmerizing.

  4. Absolutely love this thick, lush beige paint on top of a thick lush, green forest of abundant plants. And the dots!!!

    1. Simone! Again, I am so grateful to have this now-playing-with-paint blog where I can keep a ‘diary’ of my thoughts, musings, missteps, successes, and artistic twists and turns, and where I have a small community of followers who shine light, encourage, and provide welcome perspectives and feedback!

      Thank you for YOUR feedback here. Your response to “this thick, lush beige paint on top of a thick lush, green forest of abundant plants” gets me reflecting on the layers and layers, and the different days on which and different moods in which those layers came into being.

      Thank you too for your response to “the dots!!!” They came about because I tried something or other while fine-tuning this painting and didn’t like the result. I grabbed a damp sponge to wipe away the wet paint and then impulsively stamped the sponge in several places and loved what that did to enhance spots that needed softening. In turn, that led to my picking up a small ‘texture sheet’ with raised dots and diving into a little spontaneous free-play with it with great joy—and loving the effect of how it played out in the larger context of the painting. Thank you for noticing!

  5. It has been a long time since I checked this email art folder. šŸ˜¦ This painting could be a forest, part of a forest, a beautiful decorated Christmas tree! Love the lovely textures and the bold scribbly shapes!

    Happy holidays!
