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″
New Work
Here is some of my new work. I’m having a lot of fun with mixed media and paper. I’m thinking of embedding these in Envirotec . I haven’t decided yet.
Check out Eleanor Clarkson’s work on our other site http://www.thedigitalfolklife.org. It’s on the Peace page – a show in Stroudsburg, PA just before the war started. Eleanor is a master of Envirotec

Check Out Upstream People Gallery
Check out http://www.upstreampeoplegallery.com/. They are out of Omaha, Nebraska and run by some people from University of Nebraska and others. ( http://www.upstreampeoplegallery.com/about/default.asp) In the Native American Language of the area “Omaha” means “Upstream.” They have been hosting revolving, on-line shows since the late ’90’s. The current show is digital art, but there are other simultaneous shows running. I have work in the digital show and the Judeo-Christian Art show. There are links to my work in the blog roll to the right. (1976, Living Among the Boulder Fields and May Apples, Orchids and Callow Lily, and several in the Meister Eckhart series) Above is a detail of “Living Among the Boulder Fields and May Apples”.
