Whispering

Whispering • Acrylic and Gold on Panel

 

It is not the noise that tangles us in anxiety , it is the whispering.

“Is that what she really said?”

“Does he really mean…”

It is very difficult to find clarity when one can only hear whispering.

There can be beauty in whispering if one does not take it personally.

The whispering of trees, of rivers, of playing children. These have nothing and everything to do with us.

The Only Way Out • 36×48 • Mixed Medium on Canvas

A net work of people is so much stronger than any individual.

Only through cooperation and unification can we rise out of complacency and shake the illusions, the skeletons of rat-like entities from our present net of society.

Bound to Earth by Wings • 36×36 • Acrylic on Canvas

 

Inspired by the original  movie, Wings of Desire.

The wings of an angel represents the armor that protects that angel from human suffering. 

To experience human suffering, passion, and feelings is also to experience love and life.

When an angel desires to experience human love, the armor falls to earth after him.

The wings of idealism are exchanged for the wings of love.

Approaching Avalon • 36×24 Acrylic on Canvas

Our dreams and aspirations reside in the mists, much like those surrounding the romantic Isle of Avalon. Upon approaching our dreams we come out of the mists to view what we have built. Once viewed, the dream becomes real.

Neptune

Neptune • 30×39 • Acrylic on Canvas

In the upheaval of emotional waters, there is an underlying Neptunian current of blue and gray pulling us under to spew us back to the surface for a brief breath of white clarity before submerging us into the unfathomed ocean of our own feelings.

Poseidon can be cruel with his trident when we are in emotionally unstable waters.

Last Memory of Earth

Last Memory of Earth • 48×36 • Acrylic on Canvas

A perspective from standing on the Earth while simultaneously disassociating ourselves from the Earth, projecting it as an image in the distance. We are distant and detached from the very place we live.

The canvas is scratched and scarred much like we continue to scar the Earth.

The green represents fruition, harmony, and potential abundance but through the subtle yellow of creativity is etched layers of ignorance and indulgence as the Earth we stand upon recedes into a dream like memory.

There is hope in the lavender and an appeal for mercy in the blue of the scars.

Self Actualization may come in steps, but is there really an hierarchy?

Maybe we experience elements of “Self” Actualization intermittently, even if we are hungry or we feel alone.

Land of Fallen Railings

Land of Fallen Railings • 48×36 • Acrylic, raw pigment, and Gold on Canvas

In a dream I met seven women who pushed over a solid railing to reveal a meadow to me. I was confused as I stood next to them on a high platform with nothing to prevent us from falling. My confusion turned to awe as I looked out into the meadow to see the spirit of all living things, not hiding behind a railing.
