Listening to the Quiet

 

Many new ideas seem to be coalescing into positive directions for my work and I am gently and patiently allowing them to take form. It is a slow process -- but I am cozying up to slow, to small, to quiet. I am in Winter Mode.

 

FallEquinox. 800 x 800 x 72 dpi

Fall Equinox, 24” x 24”, 2011, gold leaf, tissue, found paper, acrylic paint on stretched canvas.

 

I’m envisioning Fall Equinox as the first of four paintings that will explore the  two equinoxes and two solstices as moving energy. It’s the first painting I have completed and it’s allowing my experience in surface design to find a different expression.
