Embrace

Lost In ... an "Embrace"

This one just flowed... No pencil, models, pictures to inspire... Picked up the paints and brush and three hours later this is what emerged. ♥

This one is my experience of a Divine embrace... has a feel of Krishna but not definite... there was no peacock intended... but many see a peacock in the painting.

This is my second oil painting using the same technique as Emergence. It was my homework :-D

Emergence

Emergence

My first oil painting. The feel I have of this painting is like Ma Ganga emerging from Lord Shiva.

Emergence 

I had a great time using this technique to create the painting. It's beautiful to watch the painting emerge. Below is a progression of how this painting came about . In this technique you allow the painting to emerge.

Surrender to the mysteries of each moment

This is to all my friends (ones I know, ones I don't know yet and the ones I may never know)...._/\_

Someone asked me "do you love yourself?"
I thought about it and realized I really don't know what "love" is? Anything that came up, love was beyond that... 
Over the past few days, every time I said "love you!" to someone ... the question arose... Who is it I love? What is love? Who is the "I" who loves the "you"?
The lines below arose spontaneously....

-------------------------------------------------------------------


Surrender to the mysteries of each moment

When I say I love you...
How often do I know what it means?
Do I really love "you"?

When I say I love you...
Who are "you"?
Do I really know "you"?
or
Do I love a story I have of "you"?

When I say I love you...
Who is the "I" that loves you?
Do I really know who "I" am?
or
Do I identify myself based on a bundle of conditioning I call "me"?

Do I know what "love" is?

All I know is than "you" and "I" are constantly changing.
You and I are only what we are in this moment.
We are growing and so is love.

If we ever fall out of love, it's because we are not moving with the now.
If we ever fall out of love it's because we are in love with an image of the past.

See me and love me for who I am today
And I will see you and love you for who you are today.
Then...
We are love...

....loving and surrendering to the mysteries of each moment!

For Him...

For Him

The "shingaar" (adorning), the dance , the surrender, the devotion, the laughs, the smiles, the joy, the wait... it's all for "Him".
