"Ancient Wisdom - Rivers of Fire" "Inner Family Portrait (at the beach)" "Contemplating the Unconscious" "To Dust"
|
1999, oil on canvas - 37x77" This painting for me is about accepting my own mortality and making peace with it. However, it is also about psychological change. Long held ideas and beliefs about God, the world and I are slowly giving way to new ones. "The seed cannot grow until it first falls to the ground and dies." As I am looking at the picture of “To Dust,” the reality of my mortality is much more real today in 2010 than it was in 1999. More than ever before, I am experiencing constant unrelenting and increasing pain throughout my body—I feel what this painting represents, I am turning “To Dust.” On the other hand, even though there are more days when I feel I am on the verge of dying, there are also more days I feel God is about to change everything and bless me with every blessing I have waited for all these years. It is not too late for God; it is never too late for my God to bless me with all the blessings of father Abraham.
