This study began with very light watercolor veils of quinacridone magenta, vermillion and indigo. Before I began painting I had no idea what was going to come forth from the painting. In other words I had no image or motif in mind. As the layers developed, they began overlapping one another. When veils of paint overlap they begin to form edges.... in studying the edges and the spaces a motif began to emerge as if I were having a dialogue with the color.
A story began to appear... not right away, of course, but each veil of color brought another possibility and another question. Here, in this painting, a young man with strong will forces gently releases a butterfly to the light.
I think it would be appropriate to ask: What fears need to be released for inner transformation to occur? My choices and how I connect them with my will forces can be a powerful catalyst for change and growth. What choices can I make this week that can bring beauty and transformation in a humble and light filled manner?
