In search of a place named Peace by liesbeth
When i think of Peace.. i see a bright white light with soft pastels, it feels soft, inviting, not judging and warms my heart. Hope when you look at my painting you can share in my feeling.. Featured in CORE / Featured in True Potential Mercy now Info over Sing Mercy Now by Mary Gauthier / “One day not too long ago I received an e-mail from a wonderful young man in Israel, Shay Guwetta, telling me that he’d recorded my song Mercy Now in Hebrew. When he sent me the MP3, I loved it. I put it up on my web site for everyone to hear, and told people about it at shows. A few weeks later, I played a private party in Manhattan, and I told the story about the wonderful cover of Mercy Now in Hebrew. Well, I had no idea that the Palestinian Ambassador to the US was in the audience. He came up to me after the show, and encouraged me to come to Palestine. He seemed a little put off by my glowing endorsement of the Hebrew version of my song. It dawned on me that I’d love to have an Arabic version of Mercy Now in addition to the Hebrew version. Then it hit me that I’d love to hear a version of Mercy Now translated into in as many languages as possible, especially the languages of places where war and political upheaval cause great pain and suffering. I am inviting musicians from everywhere to send in a version of Mercy Now in their musical own musical style and in their native language to SingMercyNow@gmail.com, and we’ll post them up on the SingMercyNow Myspace page for the world to listen to. Who knows, we might lighten a few loads out there.” / Mary Gauthier / / Mercy now in different languages Encaustic A4 / tools; hotplate,hotairgun / medium; coloured waxblocks

Transition by Mysticmoon
Encaustic (wax painting) on canvas. Tools used are a hot air gun and roller sponge. Medium: coloured wax blocks The inspiration: / The time between Samhain and Yule is the time of the Crone, the Dagda, powerful, dark and wise… imposing and compelling at once. The cycle remains faithful to nature’s laws: to all that lives, comes death. While some threads are long seeming and others cut short, in the end, we all enter the eternal cauldron. Just when the dark seems all powerful, the Goddess begins life anew at Yule, with the rebirth of our Sun, God of light and warmth….
