Open Mind

I created this painting after reading a book called, ‘Letting Go’ by David Hawkins.  The book was about learning how to let go of all negative emotions that plague our mind.  By releasing the negative emotions, they could be replaced by positive emotions (LOVE).  I really liked the idea of this since my mind tends to be a very busy place and honestly, many of those thoughts are negative.  When I began to practice the techniques of this book, I immediately felt lighter as the negative thoughts left me.  The more I became aware of these thoughts and let them go, more and more seemed to arise to the surface.  I was surprise at the amount of fear driven thoughts I had, carrying around with me.  As I felt them leave me, I felt more and more filled with light and joy,  and simply happy.  It felt like the negative thoughts had no where left to hide and ran and hid away from the light.  It reminded me of lifting up big rocks as a child, and watching all the creatures living under there, run and scurry to escape back into the darkness.  I saw this image clearly of a while light, presence lifting up my mind, uncovering what dark creatures lay there and witnessing them leaving me.  The painting arose in my mind perfectly clear, and I was then inspired to to paint it.

Every year, since 2013, I hand carve a unique stamp to represent that year of art.  I use this stamp on all original paintings, limited edition prints, and all print packages.
