| 'Pay as you Go' 24" X 36" (large wall art) Oil Painting back stapled canvas with finished sides ready to hang $375.00 |
| ‘Pay as you go′ finished sides (painted black) needs no frame ready to hang Original X-Large Oil Painting Here is the quote for this work: " In these instances, when you are experiencing the pressure of your job, (work of any kind, stress in general, illness, spiritual crisis, grief, loss, love, friendships, trust...these are my own words added to this quote) you also have the opportunity to experience Right Mindfulness. Ironically, it is our insecurities, tribulations, and uncomfortable moments that offer us the best workable material. When we directly face our fears and frustrations, we are weaving the rare and intricate fabric used to design the rich tapestry of our authentic selves. By training the mind and embracing challenges as opportunities to wake up, we develop the skillfulness to hold to our view. We remove the laminate that temporarily shields us from the discomfort of the moment. Strengthening our ability to fully experience each moment forms a keyhole for the world to shine directly into our tender heart." ~Nancy Spears *** This is my birthday present to myself. Today I turn 39, (9/27/08) for the first time. I finished this work today, and I thought of about 4 zillion names to call it…but pay as you go seemed to be the one that was right for me. It’s not perfect, it’s all slightly leaning, tilted, like my mind, my eye, my soul. I like that about myself now. The bold brush strokes are done in layers of yellow, warm orange, deep red, violets, darker purples and burgundy reds. Inside the key hole there are all the same colors just not as muted or blended, they are starker, more vibrant. The figure is done in light see-through glazes, so that the brush strokes done in random underneath her body can be seen and become the defining details of her body. You can see that in the close ups much better. She is leaning, grabbing and protecting the keyhole, to which as a friend remarked recently, that she herself is the key to. Her transparency reveals the inner knowledge that there are no more secrets worth protecting, that she is an authentic whole person, reaching to hold onto, stand in tip-toes her demons and devils she knows...now she is becoming ready to turn and face the unknown, without the fear of her past polluting her fertile future. She is hope. She is faith. She is personal power. She is responsible for her happiness. She is less afraid of the world. She is sometimes still inviable to those she most wants to see her. She is a reflection. She is substance. This is my way of letting go, and getting on down my path. Happy Birthday to me, I'm growing into a fine human being after all, and because of it all. I hope your day is wonderful and that you are in a place where you can love yourself first, so that the rest of the world can either not matter, or see you for who you really are, a creature full of love and magick.
