This recent painting explores the notion that while alive on earth, everything and everyone is infused with light and an essence of love. Earthbound, yet of pure love (heaven). Actually, this not just a concept or a notion, but rather something we can sense and generate, expand upon. To choose to see love more than to see angst, for example, and to celebrate the glow of light in everyone and in ourselves is to be as if in a garden of bliss that we tend to ourselves. Recently this painting was at The Highland Galerie in Columbus, Georgia and one viewer said the area of red clay (mid right side) reminded her of the moment just before God created Adam out of clay (humans being of the earth with all its conditions but created in a divine image of the Creator).
