Mixed media on canvas with acrylic 30"x24" (No longer in inventory)
Somehow, this painting became about the elements: fire, water, earth, air. I saw the potential of conflict between two beings engulfed in and separated by these elements. Somehow, a spirit guide emerged, possibly the one who could grant the requested peace. And somehow, after much, much grappling with truth and spontaneity and their consequences, this painting finished itself. The only thing I intended when I began was to have that block in the lower left represent ancient text (a created element that I've since learned is called asemic writing). Somehow, in some abstract way, that block of text explains the ancient conversation. But we know that conversation if we just listen--throughout the ages, it's been churning below and sometimes above, an ultimate yearning to be granted peace...
