The Design Style Guide is a wonderful place that is bringing together thousands of items that are appropriate for Home Decor. Their main purpose is to promote the team and its members to Interior Designers (and like-minded consumers) through various promotions and advertising techniques.   This is part of the move to promote handmade items instead of mass produced things. Their focus is on marketing and branding “Handmade Home Decor” to professional Interior Designers.

This vibrant, colorful painting of Golden Inner Glow seems to come from and speak directly to the Soul.  The richness of the golds and purples feels very spiritual to me …  like a window into the soul.  I also see a goddess who can guide us and help us stay in touch with our highest purpose.  What do you see, feel, experience with this painting?  Thank you for stopping by!!

I hope you are enjoying my playing around and creating different vibrant, colorful paintings! As you may know if you have read my blog before, I ask a painting its name to listen to what it is expressing.  (It is true, sometimes in a series I know what I want the name to be ahead of time – like my Conundrum series.)  For individual images I ask and pay attention to what the energy of the painting is communicating to me.

Tree Goddess, Digital © Diane Clancy

After I finished this digital painting, when I first looked at it, I saw eyes peering out from the other side of space and time … I thought it was going to be about the thinning between the layers of reality. But as I quieted down, she spoke to me very clearly … those eyes belong to the tree, not to the other side.  Her stature very quickly indicated that she is a goddess, a deva of nature.  She was very authoritative in how she spoke her name, with her hands on her hips … so I delightedly conferred it upon her!  Tree Goddess!  Do you name your work? How do you name it?  What do you think of artists’ names on their pieces?

Remember to participate in my FREE giveaway -  you can see mine right here  One World, One HeART GiveAway.  It is free to enter … I would love to hear how you are doing. Thank you for stopping by!
