Before heading to art and soul to study again with Jesse Reno
my goal was loosen up but what I came away with was way more. If you
have never studied with Jesse...(and i call it study because its WAY
more than just taking a class....its a new way of thinking....a magic
that is revealed) he is an amazing story teller.
In the Follow the Leader class, I had a break-through. Jesse was giving us prompts and something just clicked and revealed itself to me. Here is what I wrote on the back of this painting:
Moon Sees and watches
orchestrating magic
she swims, he observes
a deer frolics in the frigid ocean
under the full moon
uninhibited magic
I realized in the midst of painting this that the story revealed to me was the moon and how it affects each of the figures I was painting. About a year ago upon leaving the Oregon coast the group that I was with were all taking photos of the bright full moon and we noticed a deer playing in the ocean......frolicking among the snowflakes and waves.
If you have followed my story.......in the beginning I saw the moon over the sea on the west coast. It was at this very moment that bravery entered my spirit and said out loud i want to paint!
on the last night after dinner we noticed the bright, FULL moon shining over the ocean!

ReplyDeleteMindy,
ReplyDeleteIf Jesse was the cake, you were the icing! I'm sure it was no accident that we found each other, in that amazing workshop of all places (but of course!) I look forward to seeing more of your magical art in the future and hope to have the opportunity to work or play with you soon! Maybe in another Jesse Reno workshop? (I so could be a groupie... Can't get enough of him!)
Keep shining your lovely Light and sharing your amazing talent!
Blessings,
Andrea
