Description

FACE MASK ART: https://pixels.com/profiles/laurel-adams/shop/face+masks
This original colour pencil rendering was painted to celebrate My soon-to-be, Rite of Passage, Landmark Birthday. And so...I was born in the fourth month at 4:44 a.m. and this surrealistic moon gardenscape took four days to birth from Inspiration thru upload. There were Grand Plans for this year’s birthday...Mary’s Birthday Tea Of my chosen “Rainbow theme” for six of us With an elegant coursed menu which Rick graciously agreed to butler. There were decorations and multicolored iced confections in the planning...and so...Social Distancing and restaurant closures and, and...spurred a re-imagined moment...of childlike fantasy, soulful gaze and Conscious Awareness. This is a MEMORIAL PAINTING...for each element is symbolic. The flowers are positioned from left to right in linear rows of flora in colours of the Light Spectrum, or rainbow.
Each flower was chosen for representational purposes because each flower is a favorite of a select Friend or family member in my “Life Bouquet”, along with several of my personal favorites.
Look closely...DO YOU SEE YOUR FLOWER? There are also spectral butterflies in each Colour hidden in the Rainbowed ethers of twilight and the ageless Spirit readies within the aging body of the central butterfly woman who eagerly uplifts her arms to soul flight back into the Light from whence she came...leaving in her wake, the colours of her prismatic floral Beauty.
As one ages, the spaciousness of life’s memories becomes so important in the shadows of one’s diminishing world. Several people who knew of my previous plans were surprised to see how easily gears were switched to reinvent the day, despite COVID. There is no resentment against the illusion of recent world constraints which are not substantially affecting my life as Life has already gifted me with Changes beyond my control. This painting will become my thank you cards and/or email notes. I trimmed Mary’s and My Coiffures while they still had shape...we made a pre-tea Tea Table and Rick turned Butler to Photographer,...we laughed and had a great time anticipating what will be some sort of virtual Phone Tea or virtual Meeting Tea until the after-birthday Tea celebration. Yes, the gift of Twilight Years is suspending convention and have-tos long enough to PLAY and Tread Lightly Into the endless realm of possibility...join me? YAY!
...and check out the Product Art!...IT IS SUCH FUN!...enjoy!
NOTE: Within the controversial distinction of CP “drawing” or “painting” lies artist definition. My definition: when the surface is ENTIRELY burnished, I classify as a Painting; when any exposed Paper Is part of the composition or background, I classify as a drawing. I render both.
A HAIKU:
“My joy?…Flowers ALL.
My friends live here, in spectra.
I am richly blessed.”
