Shrine of The Phoenix
Painting has not come easy this week.
Ashes, ashes!
Sometimes it is best not to try too hard.
But I get my inspiration however it comes.
The above is an altered photo of my studio floor
underneath my easel. It is a black paint stain
that transformed itself into Phoenix rising in Paint Shop Pro.
I took this as a good sign, a positive message
that life transforms in the most mundane of settings.
New Life Emerging
This photo is the negative image of a detail from
a painting I have been working on all week.
I am grateful that I can use the computer as a tool, as a mirror,
as a resource to help me to see what I cannot
when frustration and exhaustion paint me into a corner.
The "fetal" form is there for discovery, it awaits life, emergence.
