"Feelings" ($60.00)

(adjusted price.....$60.00....mounted on a 1.50" depth clayboard)

"Feelings alone will not get you where you want to go." Most of us do things every day that we don't want to do. This is the pearl of truth on the path to wisdom. It involves choosing. In this piece, I chose the image of a sand dollar because of its spiritual symbolism. The four smaller holes are symbolic of the nails used to crucify Christ and the larger hole stands for the spear that pierced His side.

Symbolism is a part of creating artwork. Even when you may not be conscious of any symbolism, the thing that inspired the piece to begin with is symbolic.

The blue in this piece inspired me to make the connection between the seashore and the sand dollar. The vertical lines already in the background guided me in choosing where to place the sand dollar. The black circle in the opposite corner is also symbolic. Even the placement of the lettering was guided by a line created in the first layer. So everything in this piece is about lines and placement. By placing lines randomly in the first layer, you create a spontaneous way of assisting yourself in intuitive design thinking. Just something to think about.
