Some paintings are a struggle and some paintings just flow. This one flowed and then while dancing and seeing it on the altar, I saw how the leaves fall and go into the soil and become seeds to begin the life cycle again. Soothing.
The paintings posted here are extemporaneous. Every Wednesday my dance teacher emails a theme for that evening's class. I ruminate about what the theme means to me, wrap up my workday and do a quick 60-90 minute painting. I have to trust myself and move quickly because the class starts promptly at 7:00pm. My painting will be hung on the wall of the Altar design, created by another dance participant. It will then be witnessed for 2 hours as we drop in and let the life force move through us.
