I dont know for sure if praying works or not, I think that it does effect events, but I am not sure. I do know that when things get really bad, praying makes me feel a bit better.

A soft, sad, but hopeful woman with a peace dove over her third eye.  Enough said.  I dont want to start ranting about the stupidity of Earthlings continually killing each other.

TO THE MOON AND BACK

 

                                               TO THE MOON AND BACK, I love you!  

This picture started when I wanted to create a bird with bright colors and flowing lines.  The lines indicate the flying motion of the bird as it ascends in the sky.  I created the bird, then played around searching for the right background.  I liked the moon and circles for the context of ascension.  Then I realized that the title of the picture should be TO THE MOON AND BACK.  What a fun concept.  

The colors are rich and harmonious. I made the sky a deep, deep blue, one of my favorite colors.  Purple and medium blue light circles appeared as I played with shape and color.  Then green trees were added to indicate elevation from solid ground, ascension to heaven via feelings of love.  

Created April,2022.  Digital, archival prints available from Saatchi.  Similar acrylic painting may be commissioned, message me. lunazure101@gmail.com

This is an inspiring picture that will spark a bit of delight when you hang it on a wall.  Or it would make a great gift for a loved one.

HIBISCUS MOON

digital image for archival prints

perhaps a study for an acrylic painting

 Two digital paintings here.  The moon picture is very serene and the skull picture is exciting.  Sympathetic vs parasympathetic nervous and hormone systems, for any anatomy and physiology nerds out there. 

I want to go on a moon light sail on gently waving waters.  Lull me off to dream land.  Escape the bull shit storms coming from our media fear tubes.  

But, reality beacons, the skull reminds us that life is short.  

The painterly style of the skull is a newish style of painting for me.  I follow my muse.  That bitch, she says, "You like sinuous lines, like art nouveau, paint gently curving lines."  Then she gets bored and wants something new.  "Paint jaggedly lines, jutting about, exciting energy lines."  OK, that sounds like fun.  Call it Jitterbug style.  So I paint,  mostly doing photoshop, I paint pictures with a variety of brush styles.  A bit of art nouveau, some impressionism, some flat planes, realism, surrealism, what ever, all mixed  together in the same picture.    THEY, you know who they are,  the "experts" who say "find your style and stick to it".  How boring is that?  

OK, that is enough rattling about for me, I will sign off now.  

Have a wonderful day.  I think that I will meditate on this hibiscus moon light sail.  Do some gardening, the weather is sunny. Take a break from distressing reality.

VAN GOGH EYE

 

VAN GOGH EYE

VAN GOGH EYE. Ya gotta love Van Gogh. He has been famous since several years after he died. He is having a media storm at this time. There is an immersive experience of his work traveling the world of museums. And, he is all over the web.

When I saw his work in the Louvre, I was stunned by the beauty and layers of meaning of his pictures.

The picture here, is related to a recent work that I did called, "Triple Skull". I tossed the idea of merged heads around in my skull. I wanted to do Van Gogh.

"Starry Starry Night", is in the back ground and a selfie that he painted has morphed into conjoined heads. Sorry, Vincent, my muse made me do it.

What does it mean? Maybe, it is whimsical nonsense. Or, maybe, that penetrating third eye symbolizes that his third eye chakra was open and he saw energies. So he painted energies.
