Serenity
Medium Size Print/Cherry Frame/Off White Matt
Watercolour crayons, watercolour pencils, faber castell pencils, ink, acrylic, wax, gesso acrylic, chalk pastel, pen, charcoal on paper
This began as a drawing while on holiday at an island resort, it’s one of those paintings that seemed to have a mind of it’s own, and wanted to be painted a certain way…even though I had different ideas, this is the end result. LOL
I was originally going to colour her very gently with wax and soft pastels…but she became more and more vibrant as I went along.
Perhaps the colouring says something of how vibrant we become when we are well rested, balanced and relaxed.

Karin – I really love the vibrant colors and motions on this peace. Even though there is so much going on, I love her pose and the ‘serenity’ title. For me it looks like you captured all of the spirituality, chakra, and connections flowing from her to the universe, and vice versa.
