An Oceanic Trio of Paintings

Does the ocean call you? Are you, like me, a water person?

Then you’ll enjoy this oceanic trio of paintings, the results of my first experimentation with a new professional pouring medium that gives added dimension to the watery effects of fluid acrylics.

I thought it’d be easy since I’ve been playing with acrylic washes since the 80s … but if you keep scrolling, I’ll let you in on my humbling creative process.

First though – enjoy the results. These paintings looks great side by side as they’re all 12″ tall.

Is this magical creature being given a glimpse into the very core of Mother Earth – the fires of its origins, of the past? Or has it been shown an opening to a new path illumined by the celestial sun?

There’s an energy of curiosity in Aperçu (the Glimpse). It’s that fear mixed with excitement that comes from moving into the unknown. It’s an invitation to embrace the mystery & grow. 

The sea horse is also a symbol of patience, protection, perspective, persistence, friendliness, contentment, high-perception, and generosity.

What other meanings are you feeling here?

This majestic humpback whale invites you to dive deep into the depths of your Self to rediscover your flow – your magnificent essence. It beckons you into a journey of ease & grace as you say YES! to the self-discovery that connects you to the Oneness of all that is.

The whale is also symbolic of:

• deeper awareness
• cosmic consciousness

• appreciation for beauty
• balance

“Into the Depths” -SOLD

Jellyfish don’t move by themselves. Their momentum is influenced by a greater presence with which they are at one – the winds of the seas. They’re guided by Mother Nature to survive and thrive.

This jellyfish is a reminder that for you to thrive, you need to live in harmony with Nature, knowing that you don’t have to do anything on your own. You too can connect to Source Energy to be guided to move with ease & grace.

Jellyfish are also a symbol of love, intuition, faith, balance, sensitivity, and flexibility through challenges.

The painting studio is my sanctuary – where I go to connect with Spirit and play.  But it’s also a science lab – where I experiment with new materials and techniques to achieve desired effects.

The trick is to stay in sanctuary mode when the science experiments fail.

You see, I was excited when I found out that my professional acrylic paint companies had developed pouring mediums that would enhance the effects I was already achieving with fluid acrylics.

I expected instant success.

My growth challenge was to remain in a state of inner peace even when hundreds of dollars of supplies seemed to be going to waste.

Plus the sticky messes that covered my studio needed days to dry before I could use the space to try again.

My desire to dive deep into the creative flow was stumped by delays, frustration, and scarcity mentality.

Can you relate to the humbling feelings of becoming a beginner again?

It’s all part of the growing process. You stretch through trial & error. There are no failures – just learning.

Having an open heart and positive mindset are key to the creative process.

The trick is to invite your Higher Self and Spirit in and to keep the ego and fear out of it.

Once I’d accepted that my investment in these expensive art supplies were an investment in play & learning, it all flowed so much easier.

The backgrounds you can see now in this oceanic trio are the 3rd thick layer of  pouring medium mixed with fluid acrylic colours. Each colour has a different density or weight, affecting how they interact when they’re poured together and slowly shift over time. You have some control, but there’s lots of room for surprise.

Once I’d co-created a look that pleased me, the creatures appeared in my mind’s eye – leading to days of that meditative painting and dot-making bliss that nourishes my soul.

Know that your purchases make it possible for me to continue exploring and expressing my love of beauty and the beauty of love. Thanks for supporting the arts.
