New Painting: (Deva Series) - Night Bloom

 

Painting No.4 - Night Bloom

20"x16", watercolour on watercolour board, 2012
 

From sea to night, this week's painting 'Night Bloom' was inspired by a flowering garden with buds opening to moonlight and velvet sky. Night has its own magic, a sumptuous mystery and light especially when the moon is shining.

This series of paintings is almost complete with one more painting left for me to post, from there it will be on to some new portrait pieces which I'm already so excited about. I've had the sketches in my journals for a little while now so as always, it will be fascinating to see how they take form. As you know my ideas and paintings have their own ideas of how they wish to be and exists in form!

New Painting: (Deva Series) - Heart Of Pearl

 

Painting No.3 - Heart Of Pearl

20"x16", watercolour on watercolour board, 2012

 

A slight digression in my new series of paintings today. 'Heart Of Pearl' was created on one panel and is displayed as one piece instead of two like 'River' and 'Ocean Flower'.

These days I feel very drawn to the beautiful energies of Spirit in the ocean - perhaps I'm missing the beaches of home during these last weeks of winter. In this painting I imagined the essence of a pearl, floating in its cozy shell-bed and oyster home - luminous sphere-light amidst softness and outer colour.

New Painting: (Deva Series) - Ocean Flower

 

 

Painting No.2 - Ocean Flower

2 panels each 20"x16", watercolour on watercolour board, 2012

 

'Ocean Flower' is the second painting in my Deva series. I started the painting with a soft knowing of the colours I wanted to use in the composition and how I wanted the colours to be expressed as the subject.

The process of creating these new paintings is both similiar and different to creating the pieces prior. In both cases I feel inspired to use lively, colours that vibrate. There's also that gentle sensation of allowing and giving the painting room to become as it should.

Although I am painting Divine Mascueline and Divine Feminine aspects of an essence of something in nature as I experience it, this process feels pre-dominantly feminine - more fluid and flowing compared to the more focused energy of the paintings before.

New Painting: (Deva Series) - River

Painting No.1 - River

2 panels each 20"x16", watercolour on watercolour board, 2012

'River' is the first pair of paintings in my new Deva series.

Each expresses the Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine energy of an element of nature.

I find my vision and inner landscape sewing together my deep love of nature and also my experience of Divine Love therein. This sewing together is the inspiration behind the new paintings - a deepening desire to nurture emotion in each piece as I embrace the new space of 'home' within.
