healing painting
These paintings are like active meditations. They take longer and require a meditative engagement and sometimes tedious repetitive movement. They can feel like a trance sometimes. Today is the first time I was aware of information that came in as I was painting. It had to do with envy (and came after the colors had been chosen and the painting begun). The healing is in the painting (doing) as well as in the finished work, and I hesitate to share what comes up for me, because the purpose of the painting for another may be altogether different. I haven't yet figured out which way is up for this painting.

I really like the change in colors and the contrast of the colors as the painting layers. I hope things work out for the best for you..tm
