“The act of creating is a healing gesture, as sacred as a prayer, as essential to the spirit as food is to the body.” – Jan Philips
This painting took many turns in the months that I worked on it. I finally finished it yesterday morning. I really feel like I learn something from each painting I create. This painting was a lesson in listening to spirit.
There are many quiet textures in this painting that are hard to see on a computer screen, but here is a detail shot of one area that makes my heart happy. The two different blues on the right side are actually pieces of worn denim.
