Divine Mother Earth

Divine Mother Earth' began as an abstract; just for fun.  I needed a break from my normal process, of imagining a picture first, then getting it out of my head to canvas. This time, I had no preconceived idea of what I would be painting; just that I would be playing around in paint.  I started with blues, and yellows, with some red and purple, with the canvas laid flat, and let whatever would happen; happen.  I started to see something like a castle, or a forest, and also shapes like figures began to appear.  I let it dry, and put it vertically on the easel, and switched to oils.  I then started making apparent the figures that I saw and forest.  I sensed a great feminine energy at this point.  In those feminine figures, I gave some of them faces.  I called it divine, because every inch of this piece feels magical to me.  All the colors are connected to one another.  There are no limits or boundaries.  To some up what I see in the finished piece is Earth in it's divinity; The cycle of life, and how it never ends.  The center of the painting is middle ground, where we exist with nature and the Divine Mother who watches over us and is nurturing.  The top of the painting is universal flow, and the bottom, is the dirt and earth, which we die into, but transform into new life.  Wow this was a deep one for me!!
