The Choice
The Choice
Love should never be a choice. While man attempts to recreate his universe through science, emulating God, or the First creation; at the core, each of us struggles with daily choices that seem to eclipse the math and science pulsing through a network of logic.
Are choices of the heart logical or divinely inspired, impetuous or practical, or do these rather define constraints of the mind? Should the heart always win over the thought process, or does one inform the other?
By our divine nature, women have a choice, to follow our heart, head, will, or spirit. Wrong or right, we exercise it. I’m listening… listening to the dreams.

2009-09-23 The Choice in The Divine Feminine
Suggestions: great notecard to a lover
At some point, I will paint this; and the description will be separated from the piece. It would please me, then, if when men viewed this, they though the “Choice” was theirs! Wouldn’t this be typical of human nature and especially (saying this from the woman’s perspective) typical of men.
But for now, the description stays, definitive as it is, of my thoroughly female viewpoint.

Love the background detail..

Thank you Rhino. I think the background might be more easily seen in this dark version, over the lighter (The Choice-II), more favorited version. Appreciate it!

lovely work,I really enjoyed the close ups of this work, it adds a whole new dimension to viewing the art.
F.A. Moore replied
It is very different when viewed close up at 100% scale. It’s the only way I know to share what I see on the computer with you. Then again, I love to touch paintings too. Well, I WANT to touch paintings. lol. Thank you, Maria!

I looked at The Choice ll first and after looking at both, I felt drawn to the darker mood. I love them both however and I love your thoroughly female viewpoint. I would agree that a man viewing this with out the description would think it was all about him and the male making the choice. Wonderful viewpoint and a beautiful piece.
F.A. Moore replied 28 days ago
So glad you appreciate the perspective and my comment on how men might see it, once it’s taken out of its context, here.
I had created this on my older Mac. Different monitor, lower density of pixels per inch, different color management. Perhaps all of these contributed to the difference that I see here and how the dark version appeared in PSE on the original machine. It was much softer and the colors were not so dense. Now that I have PSE on this machine, I’ve considered going back into this and adjusting it to the intended tones of the original. Time will tell if I do that. :))

Frannie, I’m intrigued by your work. Thank you for the detail enlargements. Your work is so dense with symbolism I don’t want to miss it. I wish we had the enlargement capability of blogspot. that little figure at her shoulder left facing almost looks medieval, I’m facinated. :-) Beautiful work.
