Into the Uknown

Into the Unknown

The way I see the world has a fascinating impact on my life and those I interact with. Yet remembering a dream I had last night I realise more in depth just how much how I see the world reflects my state of consciousness. 🌟🏵⁣
⁣
In my dream I noticed how as I looked at everything in my world in a deep state of appreciation I experienced so much beauty and love. I connected to the world through a sense of aliveness which I recognised around me. Everything was enlivened. ✨💫⁣
⁣
I could literally sense this. For me withdrawing from expectations, limitations, doubts and fears help me to drop the stories I have invested in over time. This is a perpetual burning,🔥  cleansing and purification of the soul that reveals the true nature of the world around me. It is a humbling process that requires infinite honesty. Places where I seem to hide are challenged and reveal negativity which destroy my sense of connection with the world and those I love. 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦⁣
⁣
Through observation, all this serves to bring me home, the challenges transform into a recipe for wholeness. As in every painting I create, I begin to see how life between the brushstrokes is evolving me. Is guiding me, supporting me to open my heart. To trust. To let go and be breathed by the very breath of life. 💨⁣
⁣
Where once I used to be a big ball of tension and resistance, I am so grateful to have so much more trust and gratitude, openness and a sense of wonder. For me this is an essential aspect of creativity. Being willing to step into the unknown and try new things, to explore and welcome in a sense of possibility. To be open to change, even if it shakes up everything within inside and our entire lives. 🌪⚡️🌈⁣

This painting is called Into the Unknown. It is a 5 piece panel that propelled me out of my comfort zone. ⁣

I’d never painted something so large before. Measuring a little over 2 metres wide. I started with 3 paintings and then added a further 3 paintings. I was happy with what I’d created so when I began 3 more it required me to be prepared to loose everything I had created in order to have a painting that worked. This was a journey of trust and perseverance.
