Watercolor, 7" x 6" and 7" x 9"

About these Paintings:

These two paintings were painted a day apart while on an 8-day silent retreat.

Incubating.

This painting really is about layers of experience. The feminine figure is Mother Earth, whose back is curved and whose head is bent, enclosed by the womb of the universe. The work is dark and hard and she is feeling cramped and longing to be set free. The universe groans and trembles with the effort. It is time and it was not time before this time, and it is happening perpetually. It is also the experience of each of us giving birth to parts of ourselves that we haven't yet known. Again, this is very hard work and the labor is not easy. 

 

Birthing.

Earth finally emerges after a long, dark night. No longer in darkness, she is a rich brown color - full, ripe, fertile, delighted to be, free, generous, ripe,ready, open. Her smile permeates the molecules of her being and the universe, gazing back, smiles in return. All is well.
