Moon Lilies Painting

This is about my hope for a brighter world. It represents the duality between the reality of our very troubled world and the one that I know is not only possible, but here with us now. When we choose to see it, we create it. Sometimes the creative process is a struggle, and this was one of those. I hadn't been painting in oils for over a decade, and this started out as an effort to portray a big spiritual idea. That concept just wasn’t materializing. In fact, it turned into an embarrassing, agonizing mess! I decided to give up, thinking I should just quit painting altogether, and throw it out. But I have this deeply held aversion to waste. Finally, a swan with fully engaged wings emerged, but the neck was too short and it looked more like a duck. Now I love ducks, but that wasn't exactly the transcendent image I was going for! So finally, the wings were transformed into clouds and a bright, full moon emerged out of the head. Light was cast upon the water and fanciful flowers that are reminiscent of the white pond lilies at our beloved lake house. The big idea? Maybe it will come out in another piece further along. Meanwhile, this is on a cradleboard with painted edges, no frame and picture wire ready to hang.
