speaking about the painting process and encountering spirit forms
There are three lions in this piece. I have come to view lions as a type of dragon called a bhendi. They come of their own accord to lend support. It appears in this piece, I am getting freer from the four year court battle with my sisters, the elephant as the remover of obstacles, the pig as my lawyers rooting out the details of the case. All in all, I say “release” to the sisters.
The images came on their own I consider them nature spirits with their own real kind of energies. I do not own them, nor would I copyright them. Instead, I use the images as material to redraw and paint on my pots, my pottery practice.
In today’s thirty minute Open the Heart meditation with Cory Muscara, we focus on the phrase “may I be free.” I was surprised to see I can release the idea of making prints to sell or getting a new printer and even working on the acrylic canvases. So, relief then in being able to work on the pieces for material without having to get them print ready. It is enough to see them, the images.
Also, new to my scene is possibility of painting on my teacher, Jenny Graf’s greenware. Phoebe, my Boston Terrier and I are planning to drive the three miles down to Purple Sage Pottery to pick up one of her vases. She had told me yesterday it had been asking for something for its exterior.
I got them, they are the two taller vases: please turn your head, the image will not rotate –
