The piece to the left has been a work in progress. It had a painting on it before by another artist. There were three androgynous beings on it. I found it Ironic of my past. So I painted this over them. The Painting sat in my studio for months, with just the tower on it.The mountains are strong and stable. They represent the three supernal spheres of the Kabbalist Etz Ha Chiam. Kether, the crown, Chokmah the father, Binah mother. Etz Ha Chiam means "tree of life," Kabbalah means tradition. So it is the tradition of the tree of life.
The title for the piece is Strength and Honor. The mountains are protecting the valley from perilous times. within the lush valley is the tower. It is the refuge and safety of Spirit. The tributaries are supplying the valley from the great mother. she is the most physical and tangible of the supernals.
the Father is more of an idealist, This energy is primarily concerned with thought. The process of filtering all the noise. The image for this sphere interesting enough is the wheel of the zodiac. When one can traverse through the entire zodiac without being its victim. Then they have found the first light on the journey.
The Painting is a work in progress. I was anxious to share it, part of me wanted to wait until it was finished. But then I realized if I waited I would be creating anxiety. So here it is. when it is finished I'll do another blog entry.
