This is my painting of Spero and her plant ally Aya for the @visionarymusecollective show. I’m happy to have been selected to paint her and her plant ally .. as it is also my plant ally very dear to my heart. I enjoyed tuning into her energy and welcomed the opportunity to paint in full spectrum color! 😁

Spending time out of my regular studio setting at ceremony weekend to create my painting for the upcoming Visionary Muses show. This is a little peek at my work in progress and my traveling oil painting set up. So stoked to be a part of my first group show! Our theme is plant allies so it feels good to super charge the painting with ceremony energy! by @natka01

A portrait of G.I. Gurdjieff
Oil on panel
8”x10”

A friend asked me to paint this commissioned portrait of Gurdjieff, a philosopher, mystic and spiritual teacher who traveled through western Russia, Europe and America in the early 1900’s. His teachings are known as the Fourth Way and are based on the premise that man is asleep even when he is awake, and our purpose as human beings is to awaken out of the horror of the situation into to a higher consciousness and self-awareness by developing our focus, attention and energy, thus giving ourselves the opportunity to fulfill our higher potential.

I am particularly proud of this piece because the reference was a black and white photograph and I invented the skin tones. I had fun experimenting with Old Holland colors caput mortum violet and golden green, which are colors I normally would not use in a portrait, but the b&w reference opened up the freedom to do whatever I want.
