This piece is almost three-dimesional in the way the regions of paint play against each other. Another favorite!

There is a distant sound of a drum that can be heard Joe! The colours, the lines and the vibration react to every beat! The Spirit has struggled and survived! Very perceptive Joe! Thank you for all your wonderful comments! I really do appreciate them!Sx

My Dear John, thank you so much for yet another display – enabling us to see this in larger format! The painting has a willingness to support the failings we may experience and accept our criticisms.Sx

Lu I’m so glad you like this painting, it stimulates thought and helps us to see that sometimes we can be too dogmatic. There is freedom here, a place to go and be happy, joyous and free!Sx

This painting helps to clear the view and stimulate the individual’s conscience. I have put the painting here, before you; you are the judges , not I. Sx

Margaret, these paintings are really about what you see! I am very happy that you see an Native Indian in a Warbonnet because it is a symbol of happiness and strength! Showing us that there will be healing on a Spiritual, physical, mental and emotional level! That past endevours will be rewarded!Sx

Sophie Shapiro in reply to aglaia b’s comment, 9 days ago

Aglaia, it’s good to see you! I hope you are well? It is important to face certain aspects of ourselves or our pasts! The effort we make can help to release us from a prison we have made for ourselves! To awaken to a new vision or understanding is invigorating and powerful! We are mixed characters and we learn by taking little steps!Sx

Sophie, I am speechless. Your paintings are brilliant in form, color and a dreamlike condensation of imagery that is truly inspirational. This painting brings to mind a quote by T.S. Eliot when he wrote about healing, a process incorporated in your extraordinary work. He said that”to me is is the place of, the intersection of the timeless with time. This rapproachement is more than poetic awareness.” Your work is like an alchemy within our cells. You lead us to an understanding of the universal process of incarnation with your multi-faced paintings that vibrate with a larger and energetic connectedness to life. The mystery of wholeness becomes more tangible when I view the layers of your masterful artistry.

Sophie Shapiro in reply to Julie Marks’s comment, 5 days ago

Julie you understand so much about the work presented here and the importance of Spiritual Virtues. You speak so eloquently about the qualities within the paintings and the beauty that manifests themselves within their layers and colours revealing images that wish to be known and understood. You can decipher their meanings and understandSpirits need to communicate! Thank you for all your wonderful commentary, I really don’t have the words to express my gratitude to you Julie!Sx
