AWK02 Stepping Into The Fire
Stepping Into The Fire was a very unusual painting for me,I normally have no problem starting and finishing a piece of art, but experienced times that I needed to start at special times and then other times felt directed to step away from my art until moved to continue, I had started this painting around the time of a significant eclipse of Moon moving across the Sun in 2012. As usual at these times all kinds of outside interferences were trying to distract me from working and then my connection to the painting stopped, turmoil stopped and felt I needed to start on a new piece called Phoenix Rising. After a few days of drafting out the new art the energy switched again and was reconnected to Stepping Into The Fire again and its guidance. I felt the painting as a fiery portal that stepping through would release attachments to the past and the future and simply residing in the now, like the still centre of the painting while everything revolved around.
