Think Outside the Canvas

Energy

copyright 2012 by Sandra Duran Wilson

I have been working on book three and we are in OH for the photo shoot. You are going to love this next book. It is so full of ideas and inspiration. One of the things I have been doing a lot lately is incorporating papers, transfers, collage elements and anything else I find in the studio into my art. I am trying to reuse and repurpose things I come across. This painting, Energy, has so many different layers and leftovers. I just love the depth that it gives the work. You may only see a bit of what lies below.  

Happy Solstice

Dancing With Creation

Sandra Duran Wilson

The Solstice is one of the happiest times of year for me because, here in the northern hemisphere, we experience the return of the light. The days begin to get longer and soon the plants that are frozen and sleeping deep in the earth will feel a pull to stretch and rise up to the sun once again. This is similar to our creative cycles. We must return to our core to replenish the creative seed. The long nights are a good time to take stock and set new goals that will grow and flourish with the increasing light. May your solstice be joyful and peaceful.
