The Soul Reflected

Some mornings I wake up with my central line channelling directly from the source.  This was one of those mornings!

I penned this poem in the early hours of this morning.  It’s essentially about the relationship between me and my creative self [but not in the egoistic sense]  Rather… it is an acknowledgment of the creative source within… and the eternal search for my own quintessential truth. Yes… kinda deep I know. But you know artists… [grin]

THE MUSE

You are my heart

And my heart is yours

You know my love

And my love is true

You are my soul

And we are divine

I am who I am because of you

For you are my soul reflected

Yesterday I completed the third in a series of nudes that represent a distinct shift in my watercolour process.  I am very excited about what I have managed to achieve in these three artworks.  Above is a sample… [just a peek for now] as I have some plans for these works.

A friend of mine… a gifted musician… has agreed to allow me the use of a beautiful piece of music he conceived just before Christmas to use in a clip of my paintings.  The paintings were actually painted while I was listening to the music on you tube! LOL  So in many ways the images became the music… and the music became the images. It was a joyful process.  And I am so very pleased he has agreed [very generously] to allow me to do this.

But just for now… you will need to watch this space!  :-)
