Exploration of the mind....

I was drawn to the sky today and this photo I took captures what I couldn't describe in words. There was a magical summery feeling with a hint of storm creeping in from the side... A strong wind was blowing and the sun was out in force. Todays weather could go anyway!

Stormy day?

Leaving my sun filled flat, I was surprised to step out and see dark storm clouds looming over part of the sky. I move closer to see if I can capture the intense greys and greens that my naked eye can see. It's the sharp constrasting colours that draw me towards the water.

Rough sea and dark clouds greet me at the waters edge...

Then I turn to my left and bright sunny blue skies with sharp vivid contrast.

Phoenix Rising

Phoenix Rising

acrylic on canvas 30 by 60cm

And out of the furious fires of hell...

Rose an elegant and graceful create

She is young and naive 

Full of wonder and curiosity

Her wings have not been clipped

Nor will they

She draws strength from nature

Feels connected to the emotions of others

wants to grow and learn

deepen her beauty and understanding

She seeks knowledge and wisdom

Happiness and peace

Balance and harmony

a constant flow of evolving change

New artwork idea

From pain comes passion. An invisible driving force. As the dragons that I so dearly love become a part of my art... I felt they do represent a male persona and with the introduction of the Phoenix that compliments the dragon as a yin and yang, or balance. 

Phoenix mythology according to WiKI

So a new adventure begins with the Phoenix gracefully rising from the asses, determined to fly free....
