ACRYLIC ABSTRACT ORIGINAL

On this beautiful planet called Earth, we are limited by many laws.  Some are man-made and others are physical constraints that we are all subject to. Every person has to deal with gravity and so far no one has come up with a way to completely halt the aging process.  Those are just two examples. However, there is one place where our visions, actions and abilities are boundless. Imagination is the key to a limitless life.  And it’s also been scientifically proven to keep you healthy.  The more you use it, the better you will fare.

You might think of imagination as something that is “not real”.  But studies have shown that what we think in our minds can have a profound physiological response in our bodies.  Your brain often cannot distinguish whether you are imagining something or actually experiencing it. I have been using visualization techniques in my life…

I went outside today to see if there were any flowers left blooming.  In Florida we have a short Winter and then a handful of nice Spring days with bursts of color everywhere.  The azaleas…….the bromeliads……and then it all dies………….9 months of HEAT. Not much grows in Summer except the grass and weeds.  All of my irises are brown and crispy looking.  The lilies look like beef jerky.  But this little group of tiny dancers was still celebrating, so I snapped them quickly before the sun was full in the sky.

I will be in my studio painting now for a good long while……..expect some new acrylic work very soon!

There is no fear in love. Perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment.  Love has to do with acceptance and protection.  This is not something I understood growing up…..I had to learn what healthy love meant. Once I did…..my whole world just opened up.

This piece of art started as an acrylic abstract on Yupo.  Many months later I saw a cliff in the painting and the idea of a tree came to me which then evolved into a symbol for true love.  It is a mixed media piece that combines three elements (background, tree and heart) created separately and then beautifully married on the computer.  The results are very satisfying to me.
