Big Self is painting about our highest selves. That little voice, that gut feeling, those words we don’t say, the words we use to talk about ourselves, the beliefs that raise and lower us and those ancient wounds. We all have them, like ghosts floating in the backwaters of our lives. I wanted to talk about them. I think they are holding us back in so many ways. I painted the figure at the gates, the first gate, the inner gateway we all have to our learning our purpose and meaning in this world. This is a chunky, thick painting. The paint is piled up and scraped away, kind of like the work our souls go through to become. Transcendence of the little self to become all of the bigger possibilities, what’s better than that? I hope you enjoy.
