HI-
ReplyDeleteOh my - powerful image. Thinking of you and sending you light...
Love Gail
peace.....
Wow. Very hard image to see. Can you say how you made it???
ReplyDeleteThe face is hand drawn. It's what came out when I looked inside. I did it with chalk pastels. Then I scanned it. I wanted to add the veiled feeling that I have had for days - this sense that I am under a dark cloak that mutes everything and keeps me separate from the world. I found a cloth image I liked and overlayed that in photoshop. I used hands I had drawn before, and added them, as well. It took a while to place them where it seemed right.
ReplyDeleteOnce I had done that, I brought all the color down until there was almost none (I love photoshop for this kind of thing). The original drawing had a lot of color but there is not color inside me right now.
Shen, deep and dark.
ReplyDelete"It is really sinking in, lately, that there's nothing wrong with me. There has never been anything wrong with me." this took me sooo long to get but there was so much freedom in it when I finally did. Sarah
ReplyDeleteShen this is amazing and so very powerful. I understand the title with the image. I am so glad that you answered Paul your gift is astounding and I am so grateful that you shared it with me.
ReplyDeleteyou know this reminds me, shen. i was just listening to clarissa pinkola estes yesterday, one of my favorite writers. and she is always talking about the life-death-life cycle. how it exists all throughout nature and we can learn from it. how in our lives we may go through a series of "death" experiences. which may feel scary or like things are ending and we may feel dismal or empty. but that what is often going on is that we are transforming, or our energy is just going through a cycle. following the hibernation, the emptiness, or the time when it feels like all the leaves are falling off our trees, will come a time of rebirth, new energy. maybe that is what is happening now with you.
ReplyDeletesending warm thoughts to you~
