Emergence Painting

I think of this painting as an "interior landscape". It depicts a landscape of healthy thought and emotion. On the surface, things are orderly and familiar. A cool river flows by a forest of green trees, like the smooth and deliberate thinking of our rational selves. Below this calm scene are turbulent reds, oranges, and yellows, like the feelings that are the source of our passion and energy. These feelings are rising to the surface, where they can nurture thinking and promote growth.
