My Beautiful New Painting!

Hello You! I am apologizing for keeping such a distance between myself and my updates!  There have been some major changes in my life and I have not had the opportunity to sit and write as I should have. I have missed connecting with you.  

But life is beginning in new and wonderful directions. And this painting is one of the first signs that this is the case.

This commission was completed for an amazing family. The creation of this piece was such a fantastic experience. I love the magnificence of the work and that I can create it and then give it to a family who will love it more and more over the years. Enjoy, and feel free to let me know how it moves you too.

All My Love,
Elizabeth

Through the Room

Finally a large beautiful painting. This painting is strong and slightly dangerous while remaining calm.  It takes the viewer on a journey toward discovering their own inner harmony after traversing through a landscape of complex emotions.

Flower Receiving

I love this painting (don't I always say that?)

This is my newest work  -

I painted this some weeks ago and felt the pull of the lines and shapes. Before I knew it I found this flower being created. Possibly the fact that the middle of winter is surrounding me - I find the need to escape it by creating art from the internal, eternal spring.
Enjoy.

From The Mist

This is one from my series entitled empowerment cards. These are delightful cards I would use with my clients when I was giving meditation and painting classes.  I was inspired to share these with you today...

The message behind this one is "From the mist...what will you bring now to your life?" and the idea is about what we are bringing in. To be really cognicent of what we invite into our lives is this lovely point of power. 

Look at the card and let me know...what would you like to bring in?

Note: This weekend is our group studio show and my early birthday celebration...Stay tuned!

Day Thirteen - Breathless Light

Today we feature a work called Breathless Light. What I love about this work is that it holds a world of color underneath a layer of ambiguous white. Bold pallet knife statements of green, show the heart of the painting connecting with the bright new beginning begging to realized. It is symbolic of the sun rising over the past evening heralding a new start. 

This painting is a gift to you. In that I am only positing it for a bid. If you want this painting, simply email me with how much you would like to pay for it. Keep in mind that shipping will add $40.00 to the price.  But this is my way to say, thank you for all the support. Thank you for the love of my art. If this painting can come into your life and signal your new beginning, it would make my heart sing with joy. You deserve so much beauty in your life. 

Breathless Light.

Day Twelve Golden Mean

Originally the inspiration for the title of this painting was from the Griffen and Sabine trilogy. The heart of the story of Griffin and Sabine lies in their search for their own "golden mean"—the harmony of perfect balance. 

In ourselves we have such dualistic natures.  Often, especially for this artist,  life has lead to me discovering my own balance within myself. Art has been a huge catalyst in the success of this.

Author F. Suela summarizes that "The golden mean in philosophy, especially in Aristotelian philosophy, is the desirable middle between two extremes, one of excess and the other of deficiency. In Buddhism, this is referred to as the “middle way.” In mathematics, the golden mean is a concept which expresses the relationship of two parts of a whole with each other and with the whole."

This painting brings that desired vision of harmony into play as the viewer also attempts to realize the visual balance in the work as it reflects in their own self.

Day Ten Peacock's Feather

Holiday Online Studio Sale
Over the month of December I am hosting a Holiday Sale on several pieces of work. This is the tenth piece.

Peacock's Feather is a beautiful painting. Its blurred lines and hide and seek playfulness keep the painting in constant motion. It a dashing bold and beautiful piece. The fields of green and blue play harmoniously. This painting is always giving the viewer something new with each glance.


Like all great art, what the viewer sees in the piece changes as the viewer changes and grows in his/her own life.  This is a great painting to build a relationship with.

Day Nine The Invitation

The Invitation is a painting quite close to my heart. So here is what it means to me. If you notice most of the painting is clouded. Several layers reveal on small moments of what lies beneath.  When the clouds give way over these small areas, we see this there is clarity underneath it all. 

I guess we can all choose between staying in the muck, staying confused is safer, it is comfortable. It may not be what you wanted, but at least you know it. Moments appear from time to time to reveal small snapshots of what could be if there one dares to go beneath the surface. Face the unknown and breath freely in a new landscape. 

To the left of the painting is an area of white. To the left of that is a figure which is beckoning. "Come. Come to a new landscape within yourself. It is waiting, always." The invitation is the calling to the new and greater part of ourselves always waiting to be discovered. There is nothing greater than the greater part of you.

Day Eight Silent Warrior

-->

Silent Warrior / Peaceful Warrior

Wow. This piece is a large piece. I have titled it both Silent Warrior and Peaceful Warrior at times.  It is magical (I really love that word) and mysterious, powerful and hopeful. Its predominant color is green. There is a touch of blue but the striking offset is the dark red area to the right of the painting. In that area there is an entire other story taking place as you slowly begin to see figures emerge.  Who are they and what are they doing?

Truthfully, I can only write from the perspective of the artist. I know though, that who ultimately has this piece join their family, the meaning of these figures will shift entirely. For me they are the watchful eye within that makes sure we remain true to ourselves no matter how dense the surroundings seem.  Sometimes to know how great our strengths are, we have to delve deep into the unknown dark places within ourselves. This piece informs the viewer about their own inner warrior and the courage to face our darkest parts. And it is also about the inner protector, the guardian who ensures we re-merge, victorious, after delving so deep within our own caves.   This journey begins with our inner warrior and ends with us becoming our own hero.

Day Seven Symphony Unfolding

Symphony Unfolding is about the upward trajectory of our lives. If we are on a path, I like to believe it is upward bound.

There is a magnificent quote by Richard Bach,  “Having climbed certain peaks you'll descend no more, but spread your wings and fly beyond.”  With the hope and promise the colors and the motion of this piece deliver, it is easy to see why I have paired it with this quote. Simply stated, it inspires.  This is the ascension in progress, to the next level of our lives.

I have often said that in life we are both the conductor and the symphony; made up of so many important parts. As this inner symphony unfolds we grow closer and closer to ourselves. The more we live, the more we grow and the more we unfold. The more we unfold, the more we live, grow..unfold...you get it.

Day Six Dios in Slumber

Holiday Online Studio Sale
Over the month of December I am hosting a Holiday Sale on several pieces of work. This is the sixth one.

Today we feature a work called Dios in Slumber. It is a work on an experimental type of canvas panel. I like this texture, it is rough and smooth at the same time. I think it adds to the piece.

The great power this painting shows is its sense of warmth. I remember that when I was painting it I felt like I was finding new ways to reveal intimate details about myself with broad movements of color. When the white came in like a cloud, and contained this mysterious eye, it was akin to that part within that is powerful, yet quiet. That which is a compliment to the whole self and not an overpowering force of just one aspect.
