This is the last of this Gold Leaf series. I had a lot of fun making them. I think they should be rugs or wall hangings. But they look so rich and sumptuous to me – very luxurious.

In the post yesterday, Sue O’Kieffe of Sacred Circles Mandalas said “My art, at its core, is about the Light piercing the darkness. My intent is to find new ways to let the Light shine through !” I love her mandalas and to me her art is about piercing light – the light piercing in many different styles and feelings and outcomes … but all about light and energy.

Even though our work is very different, that is what I want my work to be about too. “Enhance Your Spirit” is my slogan – it is the effect that I want my art to have on people. To me, the uplifting comes from light or love or energy.

Some of my work has specific aspects of light (Conundrum I, the Luminous Angles series) and others I think are more light-filled by the content. Sue’s work is more an emphasis of physical light which then translates into the light of power, love and healing – to me.

Perhaps my work is more about other things shining through – but to me in the same realm of light, power and healing – at least some of my images. One of the Luminous Angles is Heart of Fire if you would like to see that use of light. When I just peeked at the painting again, it does look like Sue’s – light coming through.

Thank you for stopping by and allowing me to share my thoughts ~ I would love to hear what you are thinking about.
