Just reach out. “It always seems impossible until it’s done.” Nelson Mandela Impossible was so titled for that reason. She came from a well of seemingly impossible circumstances that brought me to my knees the last few weeks. There are so many bits inspiring her - the revelation of difficult truths, the rending and destruction of things held precious, the healing power of a hug, uncertain diagnoses… all just a snippet of what was on my mind as I painted. I envisioned this painting as a pile of birds inside a pile of blooms, a metaphor of mother-daughter relationships borne of a vision that arrived while at a memorial surrounded by the ancillary moms who helped raise my own now adult kids. That idea, though, apparently is for another painting - this piece started out in that direction but took a left hand turn shortly in. So who is that bird and what does she represent? she seems rather committed to that precarious perch. what is happening to this branch floating in space with alien, mismatched blooms - how can it be rootless, twisted and broken, yet still bloom? is the blue sky actually rent in two - and is it pushing through that veil or being wrapped and stuffed away? I don’t need the answers to the questions. I just need to ask them, then spend time pondering possibilities. Living in the possibility is how I find the ending to this painting and how I invite the next one in. You can get a good look at Impossible over on my website.
