Sacred Sight – the painting
Infused with community prayers & intentions, this intuitive visionary painting called “Sacred Sight” invites us to shift perceptions to see the true colours of the world and those in it, including ourselves.
It was also inspired by the Vesica Pisces eye design that emerged in a previous painting, “True Love“.
The day before I started painting, I was inspired to ask my FB Friends what they’d like me to focus on while creating a painting that had already given me its name, “Sacred Sight”. They answered
- joy & happiness
- peace, love & healing
- bless my eyes, bless my soul
- compassion & understanding
- empathy & harmony
- raw clarity
- love & health
- acceptance & inclusivity
- safety
- rising radiance
- unattachment, trust & intuition
- ease & serenity
- humanitarian leadership & freedom
For 3 days, I held space for these prayers & intentions as the colours and symbolism emerged.
For these prayers and intentions to manifest in our world, starting with us, we need to open to the paradigm shifts that are possible when we look at things differently.
The eye at the heart of the Vesica Pisces represents true vision, possible when we ask to see through the eyes of our Higher Self in Divine Union.
I knew I had wanted to re-create that eye at the centre of sacred geometry. What surprised me one night as I was about to leave the studio to go to bed was the calling of a butterfly.
I’ll admit, I was hesitant. I had thought the painting might already be finished. But I know better than to doubt that I might ruin a painting by following intuitive guidance.
So the next morning, I created a stencil (see video below) and used special interference paints by Golden to create the birthing of a new way of seeing the world. The wispy butterfly appears transparent white from some angles and iridescent colours from others and in some light.
With this symbol of transformation, I could feel how “Sacred Sight” was becoming an invitation to shift not only our perceptions, but our very inner reality that forms our outer reality.
So again, this painting asks us “How would your vision shift if you were looking through the eyes of Spirit, of Love?” (or whatever other terms feels good to you)
Start with looking at areas in your life where you feel discomfort, dis-ease, pain, etc. Can you shift your perspective to see how challenges are happening for you, not to you? Can you see how you’re being called to grow into a more evolved version of you?
It’s time to let go of our caterpillar life to explore what it means to fly as a butterfly.
Where else are you being asked to look through your heart, not through the limited patterns of your mind?
And be gentle with yourself and others as we all learn to see with new eyes.
Enjoy watching the layers of chaos and life experience become a vibrant radiant harmony of colours & symbolism in “The Making of Sacred Sight” (3-minute video below).
