New Writing/Art Project - "Eternal Life" and "Lava Flow"

 

~ Lava Flow ~

3"x4" acrylic on canvas

"Eternal Life" 

I am writing a page a day that, so far, is titled, Eternal Life. I will continue writing every day and paint when moved by Spirit. 

I started a new writing and art project 4 days ago writing a page a day and painting mini-paintings. This is the first one. I have thinking to do how to present both writing and art but know it will become what it is meant to be. I let this painting evolve how Spirit moved me and then saw what it was in the end. Art doesn't always have to look like something nor make sense to those who see it. Some will "get it." 

I'll post as I paint.

Painters Understand Nature

 

Color is a Power

 

Don't Stop Painting

 

I need to read this every day...

The Star of the Fireworks

 "The Star of the Fireworks"

8 x 10 in acrylics on art board canvas

I played with the freedom of color and palette knife yesterday. :)

It took me a while to give it a title, but then I saw the little yellow star and so its name. 

This is how I started painting my "Spirit Art" paintings years ago - just whatever colors caught my attention and how I let my brush take over. I would look at the finished work and when I saw the spirit of its essence I gave it a title. It may be how I want to paint again - no pressure...no worries about pleasing anyone...and it's fun! :) 

"Sunshine Wind"

 I have been writing and painting most of my life. I have had this idea for a long time and finally started yesterday painting using symbols from my poetry, lyrics, journal writings, etc. I used symbols from, "Sunshine Wind," a few lines here:

"My heart lies on a rainbow

Above a river of gold,

Leading to a place behind the sun

Where young never turns old."

(copyright by Nancy Shewchuk)

"Sunshine Wind"

The entire poem can be read on my website:

Click on the "Automatic Writing" category and then on the "Misc." link.

My plan is to keep painting using symbols from my writings and turn them into a book.

This is an 8x10 in acrylics done with palette knife.
