Painting The Feminine :: Cycle Of Life & Death

Published on November 3, 2013

I’m not planning these journal entries in any way. I’ve been simply starting by scribbling some paint around and listening to where I should make my next mark–or where I should lay down my next shape.

Then, from there, the painting starts to talk to me.

This painting felt even more like listening to a story.

On the bottom left lays a woman in a purple shroud. On the right is a woman pregnant with life.

When I was drawing all those little circles, it kept coming to me that they represented the eggs that we as women possess and which cycle through our bodies each month.

Like I said, I didn’t plan this painting in any way–but what I love the most is how it reflects back to me so perfectly what is happening in my own life.

Wild stuff!
