Wisdom Painting

"When a viewer enters an artist's work the viewer is enveloped, as if having landed in a strange but familiar dimension, both idiosyncratic and universal. By submitting to what is peculiar to themselves, artists attain originality and, paradoxically, express the uniquely universal. ... "Whether art imagery purges pain and suffering or points to an ideal yet to be realized, almost any imagery can support the flow of healing energy and is of benefit." -- Alex Grey, The Mission of Art PRESS RELEASE: Read it here on the web at demingheadlight.com I will be showing my abstract paintings in Deming, New Mexico during Feb. 2009. The artist reception is on Feb. 8 from 1-3 pm. Please join in the celebration. The abstract works are from my Triangle series, Number series, and misc. acrylic encaustic works.

I've watched a fantastic video by Eckhart Tolle, The Flowering of Consciousness, a two disc series. I'm reading his book right now too--A New Earth, Awakening to Your Life's Purpose. The point that sticks out to me is the idea of the pain-body. That is intriguing. I'm looking at how my pain-body reacts with other pain-bodies around me. Yikes, I think that it is acting out in some ways. Being aware is the first step in healing and dissolving the pain-body. This is really important work by Eckhart Tolle and I recommend both the DVD/video and the book
