This is where I stand

I have been continuing to paint, but out of my routine of photographing and posting them. Maybe because it's so freaking cold in my studio, getting in to paint is all I can muster. But the process continues and life goes on. The theme last week: "This is where I stand." I started out painting a body with hands overhead and it looked like it was jumping on a trampoline, so the legs were covered up with a heavy cloak and the earth's red energy coming up from the center of the earth into the body for grounding and the yellow energy of universal love coming down through the crown for healing energy. They meet at the heart and melt into orange. Happy New Year. I'm looking forward to a good 2011.
