A Personal Hell

A Personal Hell... 16x24 oil on linen. A visionary definition of hell... where it lies in the mind, unable to connect to the heart, where all forgiveness originates. I rarely like any of my paintings, but this one, I like!

Lost in Silence

18x24 oil on linen... Once upon a time when I was in therapy, I called my mother and asked her what kind of child I was, as I have little to no memory of my youth. She replied... "You were perfect". After questioning her as to how I could be perfect, she explained that I was always quiet, could be taken anywhere and remained un-noticed, and that when at home I stayed in my room... quietly. I was appalled by her response and wondered how she could consider this perfect when it seemed a bit abnormal to me... So, this painting is meant to show me, as a child, being perfect. Dysfunction at its finest!!

Intuition

Intuition... a painting about that intuitive voice that we all have, born within the "gut". The mind then begins to process the "message" as it has been born, not of this world.

The Hidden Motive

The Hidden Motive.. a 24x30 oil on linen. I have to wonder sometimes, if my motives are born in my heart or my head... My goal would be to heart driven at all times, but I am sure I can fall prey to "hidden motives".

The Messenger

18x24 oil on linen. I have had an incredible interest in ravens lately. They are shape shifters, messengers of light according to the Native American traditions. I like it. Thought I would do a painting about the topic... I wish the digital cameras would do a better job when photographing an original painting, as the colors in this are so much nicer than you can see. Her dress is actually a very drab green, however, it looks gray in the photo... aw well.. Hope you enjoy having a look!

Visions

Visions... inspired from a vintage lithograph. 18x24 oil on canvas gallery wrap. A somewhat spiritual painting, and fairly self explanatory. Hmmm, I have nothing else to say! haha...

Out of the Darkness Into the Light

Out of the Darkness, Into the Light... 18x24 oil on linen. This is a self portrait... I have been discovering new wisdom, new spirituality, new me, new goals... just discovering everything new. And it is so exciting... Hope you enjoy the painting!
