A New Series

Here is my latest baby. Mary Magdalen. I hankered over the idea of making a series of paintings, in a contemporary style, looking at some of the close circle who followed Jesus around. Im not actually religious, more spiritual, probably more aligned to Buddhism than anything else these days, but having grown up with the bible stories and knowing these stories still have an impact on people today it seems like a good idea. Whether or not any Church would entertain displaying them is another matter, but thats so far in the future it isnt worth wondering about right now. 

this is the painting that started my line of thinking. It was never meant to be religious, but the more I looked at it the more I felt it was. Titled "The Improbable Geometry of Creation" and mixed media on canvas. It could be an interpretation of god, and the "son". There are images of other things dotted around the painting, such as a dove, an orb, an eye.........

So its good to know where a series started, because right now I dont know where it will end. Next on the list is the fishermen.

Enjoying the freedom of my private little studio. Am thinking of rearranging things once again. Jetisoning the things I really dont use anymore, making more space and perhaps blocking in the storage spaces so that I can turn it into a small gallery a couple of times a year. But thats only in my minds eye right now. Im not terribly handy really, so lets not hold our breaths, hahaha.

Love all, hurt none, and walk in soft shoes
