Attunement
I'd been feeling restless with my painting but with "Attunement" I achieved exactly what I wanted which was to express the inner peace, strength and harmony I was feeling in that moment. I captured that feeling by taking the imagery down to it's simplest elements. I have always said that simplicity is THE HARDEST thing to achieve in creative work; it's so tempting to keep adding more and more and more to the painting rather than to just leave it alone when it's done.

Luv Is
Before “Attunement” I got messy and invited my inner child to have some fun!  This is what came out.

Spell Kitty
I was really feeling like painting on something solid so I pulled out my reclaimed pine board which is quite thick (3/4 inches) and I intuitively chose a passage from the Motherpeace Tarot Book which turned into a spell for this Kitty Painting to help your "journey to the cool realms of intellect, a time out from the emotions in favor of a thoughtful, introspective period." (Motherpeace, p. 211, Priestess of Cups Card).
