First Painting of 2015

“This Little Light of Mine” (9″ x 12″)

After weeks of not painting, it was great to get back in the studio yesterday. My friend Lori came over and we painted while catching up on life.

This is a crossover painting – one that I started in 2014 and finished in 2015.  I always find those have special energy.  After doing my best to love it through its awkward teenager phase yesterday (a good reminder about the many layers of the creative process), it eventually evolved into this creation that makes my heart sing.  It encompasses the spirit of meditation, prayer, celebration, connection with Nature, gratitude, sacred fire, and so much more.  In case you didn’t spot her, there’s a woman sitting cross legged with her back to us – with her arms up in the air and a bird in one hand.  See her?

IntroducingThis Little Light of Mine(I’m gonna let it shine…). It’s 9″ x 12″, acrylics on gallery-wrapped canvas (no framing necessary).  I often sing that song and it captures the spirit of this painting well.  NOTE: SOLD.
