| 4/1000 Hearts, 16"x12" acrylic on canvas, $230 |
What wonderful things can happen when we let go of old ways and allow something new into our hearts.
As opposed to past paintings where I usually carefully plan everything out, the only intention I set forth before starting this painting is that I paint from the heart. So with that in mind, I spent some time meditating and then going on a brief shamanic journey which I had recently learned about from a wonderful artist and shaman named Katherine Skaggs. During this journey I focused on what was in my heart and allowed this thought to lead me. As I placed my brush on the canvas, without even a small sketch to guide me, I let my intuition show me what to do next. What took root in me and blossomed both surprised me and delighted me and with that I knew that that I must explore this visionary method of painting further.
