"The Healing Garden" is very special to me. What started out to be a plein air painting session with my painting buddy, Debbie, on the beautiful sacred grounds of Christ The King Spiritual Life Center in Greenwich, NY turned out to be a totally unexpected painting. 

Debbie and I decided to set up our easels on the helicopter pad which is walking  distance from the chapel and paint the beautiful vista from that perspective. When I set up my painting gear and was deciding what I wanted to paint, I realized I was having a very difficult time focusing on the landscape in front of me. It seemed to require more energy and focus than I could muster up that day. 

I was being urged from within to simply start painting...anything...and just keep painting. So, as I usually do when I am not sure what I want to express, I dipped my brush in light red, toned the entire canvas, and then continued to paint with the colors I was most attracted to...and The Healing Garden is the resulting painting. I feel it is imbued with the healing presence that permeates these grounds.

"Moonrise" was created from my imagination intuitively. I wasn't sure what I wanted to paint, being a bit scattered lately. So, I just began to paint, choosing to paint the darker colors at the top and bottom first. After a short time, I got an impression of a sunset or moonscape and this is the resulting painting.

"Hearts" is the 28th painting in the series of 29 from "The Zone" I don't usually have serpents/snakes on my mind but they seem to appear in almost every one of these paintings. Once they appear, I really love painting the designs on their bodies...very relaxing and exciting at the same time. 

After seeing a good amount of my "From The Zone" paintings thus far, have you ever wondered what would be revealed in a painting if you were to explore your zone?

"Undersea Adventure" is the 20th painting in the series of 29 paintings from "The Zone." Do you believe that when I look at the original paintings, I almost question "Who painted that???!!!" I know I did but they continue to fascinate me, considering the fact that when I begin each one I have no preconceived idea of what will be expressed on canvas when I begin to paint. Always an adventure...I love this process!!!

16" x 20"
Original oil painting on canvas


6x12 inches
Acrylic painting on board-notched on the back and does not need a frame.
This piece can be hung vertically or horizontally.


Oil paint is what I primarily use and am most comfortable with...the way it blends, the smooth and sensual quality when applying paint to canvas, and the fact that it doesn't dry quickly. I like to diverge from time to time and experiment with acrylic and other paints. This was one of these experiments.

I am VERY happy with this painting. This piece is painted on a smooth canvas panel which made it easier for my brush to flow smoothly and sensuously across the canvas. 

Once again, I let go and let the 'spirit' move me and my brush as I attempted to keep my over active brain out of the process. What I mean by this is...  I am aware of my  "Inner Critic" which is almost a constant companion, and if allowed, it will interfere and try stop my process of spontaneity.  I am often aware of my struggle between control and freedom, especially when I am painting...Are you surprised?

If I had a huge space and lived in a large city with a lot of traffic I would probably be painting these celestial pieces much much larger. I am open, though, to considering commissioned pieces in larger formats. Just this moment, as I was writing this, I thought of painting a few larger ones without stretching them on stretcher strips so they could be stored easily and shipped in a tube to keep shipping costs down when sold...hhmmm...good idea, Marina....You might see a few of these at some point soon...hhmmm....

Midway through this painting, I almost wiped the whole thing off after an 'ugh' experience while trying to get the lemons and limes looking satisfactory. Glad I didn't. I decided to stop where I was, let the painting dry overnight and go back to it. I am very happy with the resulting piece...

Its quite difficult to appreciate the actual artwork which is 22 x 28 inches from this tiny image. This is another painting that began with me just dipping my brush into the first color that attracted me and going from there...one color following the next until I felt the painting was complete.  You ought to try it sometime...

A few days ago I posted  "Red Barns in Early Spring" which was painted on the grounds of "Christ The King Healing Center"  in Greenwich NY which consider 'sacred ground.' I was with my painting buddy, Debbie,  the second day of painting when I completed Red Barns before she finished her painting. I'd took out a new canvas with the intention of painting another view of the landscape. As I began to tone the canvas with light red, I felt compelled to ignore the landscape and simply paint from my spirit...."Healing Light" is the result. Once again, I feel this piece is imbued with the healing presence that permeates the grounds of this church.

I am going back there tomorrow to paint again...Not sure what will happen this time!!!...always a new adventure....

"Raven's Masquerade" is the 5th in the series of 29 in my Painting From "The Zone" Series and one of my favorites.  None of these can be truly appreciated from images here online. 

It was originally painted with liquid tempera paint on a 22" x 28" sheet of paper and is currently stashed away with it's other friends which were also painted on paper in my studio storage space upstairs. 

This totally intuitive form of painting is probably the most exciting, stimulating and surprising experience in painting that I have had. Each work is so totally different. When I complete one, I sit back and ask 'Who did that???!!!'  "Where did this come from???!!!

Today's Quotation: "Often the most unique, compelling work comes not from a concept or an idea but from a deep, wordless place inside the artist."

Notice how this painting affects you. Take a moment and 'get into' the painting. What was your first reaction when you opened this email? The colors in this piece are bright, cheerful, energizing but also contain the primary colors that are considered 'healing colors.' Very briefly, green represents healing and prosperity, yellow for awakening the intellect and energy, blue for spirituality and serenity, red and orange for energy and stimulation. 

It affects me by immediately lifting my spirit and bringing a feeling of joy and anticipation...I do love this painting.
