This painting sizzled. I had the urge to paint figures with less than half an hour before the painting was expected on the wall of the Altar for the dance class at 7 pm. I quickly outlined the dancers in flesh color and left them unattended until I finished the flowing wash of bright colors the figures were swimming through. My time was running out so I took a risk to paint them out black as silhouettes. No time to think, just paint. I needed to delineate the woman's chin to show she was tossing her head back, opening up her chest and feeling the life force energy flowing through her. It was exhilarating! We ran out of there with the paint still wet. I couldn't wait to stand back and see it from a
distance. It was sizzling when I
put it on the wall and the response from my fellow dancers was immediate. It rocked the house.
As I danced with my friends throughout the evening I felt as if a self cleaning oven, burning out the crud and letting the rich mixture of life force channel through me at full throttle, as an elixir
: a substance held capable of prolonging life indefinitely!
