Indigo. Teal. Purple. Silver. blue. Orange. red.
Effervescent. Ethereal. Ever changing. They swoop and swirl like eagles in flight. They rise and fall like the waves of the ocean.
The colours start their journey in my mind. Their birth small explosions, tiny fireworks full of promise and potential. As they travel down my arm they evolve into thought. My hand eloquently expressing these thoughts onto the canvas through my brush.
the thoughts evolve like the caterpillar into a butterfly. Metamorphosizing into an image.
The image cannot be seen yet by others, but in my mind it is complete. My hand moves gracefully over the canvas expressing emotions too deep for words with lines, curves, shapes and my beloved colours.
Tears roll down my cheeks but my lips form a smile. Anger, pain, betrayal hard strong brush strokes. Love, laughter and faith smooth sweeping strokes. Memories turn into patterns. Emotions solidifying. Manifesting my hopes and dreams onto canvas. Releasing my torment and pain with each stroke.
I work as if in trance, fixated on creation. Time passes as if in a dream world. The light outside changing but the light inside me still burning bright
Finally, the piece is complete and I rest my hand and view my work. This memory, this moment, immortalised in acrylic. The writhing colour in my mind becomes placid. From a stormy sea to a calm lake..... Until the next time they are awoken
