NEW PAINTING Fortitude

 

Fortitude, acrylic on 24" cradled round panel, 1" profile, image painted around the sides (so no need to frame), $1800 plus s&h to the first asking nicely. Questions can always come to me. Life has been pretty challenging lately.  I know I'm not alone. War, earthquakes, political unrest, human rights inequalities, persecutions, mass shootings, terrifying severe weather - and that's just part of it, right? there is also the day to day stuff, the family things, job/household responsibilities, staying healthy, tending to our own emotional balance. Like I said, it's grueling. I've had some very lucid dreams lately. And a recurring character threaded through them. A fiery black horse. So I invited her to the easel. I expected to get her blocked in (what I call the first pass on a painting) and begin to decipher her message over a period of time. But Fortitude was having none of that quiet, slow entry sort of thing. She was all in. She was on a mission to remind me of my own strength. And that she's got my back when I'm not feeling strong enough myself. That many things are not about toil or toughing them out, but simply breathing through, honoring all of the demands, and trusting that answers will come when I am ready to hear them. And in the process of showing up and telling me all this, Fortitude also revealed some key answers to a few problems I had been exploring with my paints. It's pretty remarkable when that happens. Like I was humbled enough with her message, and then she spins around and says, by the way, take a look at this.....
