This
elegant Sumi-e is called Spirit Standing. This image was inspired by
the spirit that resides in all of nature. A spirit that is ever present
and all encompassing.
When I painted this Sumi-e, I was experiencing a
little turmoil in my life. We all experience bumpy roads along our life
journey. As I was painting in my mind during my pre-meditation, I was
thinking how we can choose to have our spirits stand tall in the face
of uncertainty and upset. My brush than flowed into this creation of
'Spirit Standing'.
The original Sumi-e painting is currently on exhibit at:
The Napa Valley Art Museum,
which is located in Yountville, CA. The address is: 55 Presidents
Circle.
My artwork will be on display until January 10, 2009.
Artist's Reception: November 28, 2009 at 7PM.
The
original sumi-e painting 'Spirit Standing' is for sale at the Art
Museum. The proceeds from the sale of this work will be donated to the
museum for their enrichment.
