Painting - a meditation



I love colors. Playing with colors. Putting them together and see how they react to eachoter. Watching as layer upon layer with paint makes a picture. I don't paint. Really I don't! I just watch what happens when I put down the paint on my canvass. And I let everything happen... It's a wonderful kind of meditation. The world seem to disappear around me. There is only me, the canvass and my acrylic colors.

ooh - I love these, Sis! specially the second one - you know the first one is a bit pink for my taste.. *lol* But I still love the feel of them. Very dreamy. I love how you sort of paint human figures, but leave them sort of hidden. You're not really sure how many there are, or if they are real or just spirits or dreams. Really great!

Thank you all for positive responses! It's the first time I've "published" my paintings...! And it's good then to hear theat they have something to them...!

The first one was unfinished when photographed. I've added more to it, and it is now more complete. Not sure though if it's finished... but when do you actually know when a painting is finished...!?

These are both very compelling, even via cyberspace, especially the bottom one. I see so much inner light in it.
