As an art therapist, I know this well; however, you've stated it far more beautifully and accurately than I.

I have received several comments on how "powerful" the painting is etc, on Facebook<br />(http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2045720&id=1589844348)<br />I started out with an idea and lost that in the work, and went off in an unpredictable direction, new to me. I felt spiritual energy at work directing me, or, to use the word Nancy uses--stillness. In my disconnection or stillness in my studio work space in a rural location I was able to connect with my materials via an energy that I do not command.<br />Daily I do light a votive candle before an image of an ancient goddess, and sometimes burn incense...<br />I am unembarrassed by this, after living as an expatriate in a few Asian countries and seeing this<br />done before a variety of gods and goddesses by many...<br />Nancy, did you move from NYC to New Mexico? If so, it seems like a good move color-wise in relation to your work. Good luck& best wishes in your new home!Marie Kazaliahttp://MarieKazalia.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4942288397863667142.post-16825180556260986292010-05-29T04:09:36.087-07:002010-05-29T04:09:36.087-07:00Hi,Nancy,

My website is: http://www.oilpaintingcentre.com I started to learn painting at the age of fifteen. From then on, I keep on improving my painting skill day by day.
