Tm20, thankyou for sharing, and I'm glad that they are relaxing, must admit its quite relaxing to paint them, and yeah Pandora colours, seem to be my favorite to work with, exactly because I they are so soothing!

Thank you Pa'li M, I think that's what i hoped and feel as well that the energy that I'm working with does come through the paintings! Albeit I have to admit for this one, that the photo did it more justice than the real painting might be! (the photo seemed to have brought out more of the colors)

I actually would prefer to do this, using a paintbrush isn't as accurate and you wouldn't get the same "I did this" feeling when you finish, it's like you've left a part of yourself on the canvass.
Definitely, and because you're using your hands, it just seems to be provide a whole differnent experience because of the sensory feel to it. I encourage you to try it, you'll find that its just amazing and so freeing.

Thank you Elyannia, and well because of your (and everyone) encouragement, I have rented a craft table coming up in a week or so to see what happens. (crosses fingers) Unfortantely I'm not so savy as to try selling on the internet yet, but we will see how it goes!

These are so beautiful! You can really see all the emotion that went into painting them. I agree, these need to be hung in a gallery. ^^

Thank you to you as well LOVEavatar, I am very grateful and humbled by your's and everyone comments!

And as for the red ones *sighs* well if you notice on the main wall there is two blue/green/purple ones that tare what I call mirror or reflection paintings, it was my first sort of exploration into doing two paintings at once, and they naturally although different are harmonious. So afterwards, I decided to ummm ask my intuition to guide me to show me kind of where the state of my marriage was .... using the same process .. and well .. I ended up with those .. flames and ashes one.

Also the three to the far right in a sence are intuitive self portraits of my chakras .. waterfall at the crown chakra, the second is the third eye, and the third is the voice chakra .. which although is hard to tell in the picture looks like a head of hair with stream of water running down (probably tears .. but also voice as well as the carrier of emotion). The heart chakra is actually the one 2nd from the top in the very middle!

Impressive... I don't pretend to know what any of that means but I can see you put a lot of expression into them

I tried to find some adequate words to express what I thought about these paintings... and I failed. They're just so amazingly beautiful... Great job, really great job

Close up of third self-portarit chakra painting on far right in the previous above art gallery photos



This is my new grandson's footprints.
My daughters idea and colors, we first tried to do with a rainbow stamp, and then blue, eventually she decided on the green and purples. And ever try to get a newborn to make baby steps, hence the funny walking prints!

Baby steps into the unknown!



This one I just painted this afternoon, its actually more concrete imagery than the rest, but it still was an intuitive painting! The title is from one of the songs often quoted on Skype ..

Look how the stars shine for you!
