Animal Series, Spider Monkey
This is a painting of a spider Monkey. I photographed it in Belize; however I’m told they are not native to that area but were brought in by some property owners living along the river we were traveling on. We were on our way to Laminai.
The Work of the Hand
I am doing a new series of paintings based on the hand – the symbolism, the ritual, the meditative function. I’m exploring how the placement of our hands effect our emotions and spiritual perception. Here are the first paintings in that series:
“Ask” mm/paper 14″ x 20″
“Receive” mm/paper 14″ x 20″
“Only the Hand that Erases Can Write the True Thing” – Eckhart
mm/paper 10″ x 12″
“What We Plant in the Soil of Contemplation We Shall Reap in the Harvest of Action” – Rumi
mm/paper 10″ x 10″
“Your Deepest Need and Desire is Satisfied by the Moment’s Energy Here in Your Hand” – Rumi
mm/paper 7.5″ x 8″
“Open Your Hands if you Want to be Held” – Rumi
mm/paper 9″ x 9″
