"She is Still There"

Tuesday, May 8, 2012
I painted this 28x36" canvas today.
It practically painted itself! (I love it when that happens - and believe me it doesn't always!) I love it more than any other painting I've ever painted, but I always say that. (I'm so fickle!) See the face within the figure? It is from the painting underneath that I painted over. Funny about that old painting, I hadn't yet signed it, wired it or dated/titled it on the back like I always do. So I guess it wasn't finished yet . . . but She is still there (hence the title of the piece).
The rest of the recognizable shapes were "excavated" using the process I teach in my online art journaling workshop on 21 Secrets. You can find more info about the class here. Come join us - it's open through the end of the year!!

OH WOW. wowowowowowow. Damn words getting in the way of what I want to share about this.

Hali said breathtaking - YES. I literally paused in my breathing while scrolling through the pictures.

This speaks to me, so so much. Soul-filling-beautiful.

Lisa is right, words fail to describe the beauty of this painting.
I haven't gotten to your part of the 21 Secrets yet, but I'm already looking forward to it!!
