Completed Oil Painting! "Spiritual Tuning"

 Took quite awhile and I have finally completed the oil painting!

Since the paint is not dry there is quite a bit of sheen to it and taking a good picture with a camera phone is nearly impossible.  Here are a few images at different angles to capture some of the background details.

I have been thinking about different titles and the one that fits is "Spiritual Tuning"

I have been in process on this painting for 2 yrs and during that time there has been a lot of healing spiritually, as a person, and being in tune with the images/colors in my head while listening to music.  The yin/yang implied feel to the background represents a lot of what I have been learning in regards to so many aspects in life.  

There is so much of my emotion on this canvas!

River as inspiration

This painting is titled Flowing

I had been inspired by the flow of a river which also comes up in my stained glass work.  I had two canvases stretched and I thought it would be fun to have one flow into the other and not side by side.  This really ties into the stained glass work I have been doing only in lots of color. I love the movement and color of this piece.  Lft panel measures 48"x32", rt measures 42" x 28".

Trees in painting and glass

The second tree in this particular series after Autumn Tree is Winter Tree. I actually painted this one before the Autumn Tree.  Dimensions: 50 1/2" x 30 1/2"

I wanted to capture some of the dark and harshness of winter and it's beauty.  There is a nice feel of winter calmness in the tree and white ground along with it's harshness with the darker blues and flowing movement in the background.  The tree is surviving even with the cold all around.
