I had a very spiritual moment and came home, sat outside,with some acrylic paints, which I do not know how to use, and I painted this.
What do you see? How does it make you feel? The bottom right is just a shadow as i was taking the picture.

Beautiful artwork my friend! I see a woman sitting outside, covered in a blanket..This is amazing for someone who doesn’t know how to use acrylic paints 🙂 Hope you had a pleasant Christmas weekend. xx

Lovely work, Bethany! (You do *too* know how to use acrylics. 🙂 ) For me it evokes clouds and wind-tossed seas, but the figure in the center gives it all a sense of stillness and calm … like it’s going to be OK.

I bought them, thought I could teach myself, realized I couldn’t and then threw a bunch of colors together to see what would become. That was the first and last of my painting experiences!

I hope you’ll experiment again sometime, Bethany. Although I’m no art expert, I really did think your first experiment was quite evocative and masterful.

It was an interesting day when I painted this by accident, just throwing together colors. I had come home from sitting with a woman as she passed away. I had never experienced that before. I had been awake all night and was exhausted so I sat in the sun and threw my favorite colors on there and it seemed a face emerged. It actually gave me a great sense of peace and I was surprised at my unintentional painting. I’m glad you shared your true feelings. I was really interested in what feelings it evoked from others.

What I so love about art is that you can love it or you can hate it or you can be indifferent about it and it doesn’t matter. It can just be!

I see a beautiful woman with flowing hair, much like how I picture my protector, or Mother Nature.

Wow, thats awesome…I see someone looking at the waves and letting their mind wander to make the next wave morph into an interesting shape, maybe it will turn into a phoenix rising out of the sea.

She just kind of appeared as I was painting. I didn’t purposely put her there but I love her. I can’t tell if she is an angel watching over or rising from the ashes!

I see a woman, sleeping, waiting for the winter to pass. (This exercise reminds me of Gestalt therapy – what we see is a projection of self.) Good for you for painting this – an art form I would love to attempt.

I am sorry I can not answer. Either because of my own past or for some reason I don’t know. I did like in the HBO show West World they said that hosts couldn’t see what would hurt them. The main Character said he gave them that. Oh goes I wish someone had give that to me , in my dreams at night. Hugs

Peaceful woman, wrapped up, cocooned even. I think it’s a portrait of the woman you sat with. Bless her and you both. You should paint more, you’re good.
