The painting is born. 24″ x 48″
In Color of Woman, we have embarked on the journey to create and meet our Talisman starting on May 1, 2017. The container is deliberate and alive, created by the participants and the leadership–it is a collective container and an individual one simultaneously. We are on a journey to make our own deliberate archetype. We begin with our intention, journeying into ourselves to bring back the words to be inscribed on the canvas after we bless it with water, after we fill our hearts with the feeling of our intent. And then to journey into the colors that will help bring forth what yearns to be expressed.
Color of Woman method is a constant criss-crossing between the worlds, between ordinary reality and our deep consciousness, between the left and right brain, all expressed on the canvas itself. Intent, emotion fused into the paint and water made manifest, and documented via a journal. My journal captures thoughts and reflections as I go through the process.
On a technical note, my beautiful Escoba brushes showed up just as I started the doorway. Tools make a difference, and these brushes truly are wonderful to lay paint down in a way that is gentle and easy. If you do acrylic painting, I really recommend them if you are looking for better brush experience. I got mine through someone in CoW recommending MerriArtist.com.
