Petroglyph

I shaped this painting of The Petroglyph by allowing it to evolve from the place where mental images are observed.  In Quantum Physics there is what is called “The Observer Effect” where the Observer and the Observed are one and the same.  Perhaps this painting exemplifies the observer effect.  The Artist and the Art are one.  The emotional effect is palpable and perhaps speaks to the artist’s innate ability to reach back millions of years to when petroglyphs were etched into cave walls.
When in Limoux, Southern France doing a workshop I visited a cave where the petroglyphs were estimated to be some 20,000 years old. They were breathtaking. I became silent in their presence. Like the cave paintings, could my painting be a deep recollection from my subconscious mind reminding me of where we all have come from - that time is an illusion?
Questions like these have some scientific backing but they also have something more: they have a resonance. They carry an ancient vibration – a wisdom that knows that certain truths are eternal. 
While I may not have the answers to such deep questions, I do know this work named The Petroglyph is like a fingerprint or a snowflake, it can never be repeated.  It is one of a kind.

    Like painting, writing is equally engaging. Using both to express myself I decided to create this blog. The combination of writing and painting is a type of junction in my creative ventures.  These junctions with their rules or lack of them are discoveries that happen in my work as a result.   Rules can be necessary guidelines but there are also places where I have followed my inner self to see what will happen.  This blog is about sharing my discoveries.
