Where pain subsides
Enc. A3
Hotplate.
I put this one up for a contest in the ‘Bits and Pieces” where artists are challenged to collaborate. Margpie
wrote this beautifull poem to it.
It is a place we all have entered,
so many times,
A testimony to artists,
who gather in this shrine.
A door beckons “Enter”,
and mark your place in time,
A place to come together,
a place,
we call,
Divine.
A snapshot of our lives,
One kiss,
One wish,
the hunt for art sublime.
So come on
step forward
into the place
where pain subsides.
Where pain subsides belongs to the following groups:
Complex Simplicity of Art, Bits and Pieces , Compassion, Courage & Friendship, Live, Love, Dream, Remodernist Painters, Spiritual Art and The Healing JourneyAvailable for sale as Cards and Matted Prints

this is intense..i enlarged this, recommend you all do..there is a window (at least for me) the title is perfect. there are many thoughts that go thru my head when i look into this …when i was young,very young.. i would always draw stairs..finding a way out..a way out of my thoughts or of my stuff…..pain when shoved deep..swallowed…hidden…or abanded has to go thru so many channels to find the window ..pain when alllowed to breathe in the air of light subsides..
your work brings up thought..that is something i just really love about it…some so deep it could be talked about for days and some is just a beautiful thought that brings a calm happiness..
this is one that will bring some real good writing out.. terri

The perfect entry, too. I can’t wait to see Margpie’s words to go with it!
Follwed aspectsoftmk’s advice and enlarged it, and I’m glad I did. The details reveal new meaning. I agree, your art allows people to think and elve and try to understand. I can see it in some future museum or private collection next to Van Gogh and Da Vinci.

Awesome painting! It has a familiarity about it, like I have been there before….but where? A crystal cave perhaps hidden in our mother’s bossom?

Maya, i think it is just great that this has a familiar feeling for you, maybe we have been here in another time…
