The Awakening

by Paula Peacock
24" x 30"
Oil on Canvas

Rebirth, spiritual awakening. 

In a sea of the unknown, 

of what lays beyond, 

and of what lays beneath 

a woman is reborn, 

emerging from the lotus flower to a deeper understanding 

of spirit, 

of unconditional love, 

to experience a deep connection with All That Is. 

She has released the fear of death and stands her truth. 

She knows the meaning and purpose of her life,

understands the suffering of humanity, 

she has an awareness, 

the ability to stay balanced and centered amid the storms of life. 

She is Love, Gratitude, Light, Compassion, Healer, Teacher, 

and sees the Divine in 

every   

single   

one   

of   

us.

The Past does not exist.

Tear catchers have been set asea.  

She has awakened 

and shares her Inner Freedom 

with those who are waiting, wanting,

anticipating the re-birth of their Awareness, their Truth, their Inner Freedom.

Lilies with Critters 18" x 24" Oil on Canvas

White isn't just white. I love the challenge of painting white and the search for the subtle colors that hide so well. For me, it's like being on a treasure hunt and having that "ah-ha!" moment of discovery when I find the soft colors hidden within.

Looking closely at this painting you will find the 'critters'; a hummingbird, ladybug, butterfly, and snail who I fondly refer to as Harvey. Harvey was a bit slow in his arrival at the feast. Being fashionably late isn't always popular.

May all that is happy be known to your heart.

Love and Light to you and yours,

Paula

'Pandora's Box', Narrative Still-Life Realism Oil Paintings by Paula Peacock

  

 'Pandora's Box' by Paula Peacock
Oil on Canvas, 16" x 20"

Love, love, love how this one turned out! This painting was years in the planning stages. Planning of the composition, the subject matter, do I include Pandora or not? How to depict the evils of the world? How to depict 'Hope'? In the end, I decided Pandora was overdone and in other paintings I found, Pandora always seemed to be depicted as an overly sexy sex object and a bit on the 'witchy' side. So, I decided to save Pandora the humiliation and let her take a rest from this rendition by painting only the 'box'. All the other elements fell into place after I found the perfect vessel. The apple is representative of Eve, another woman blamed for the woes of the world. But, that will be another story in another painting.

Here's a bit of what I call 'useless information that stuck in my brain for no apparent reason'. It really was NOT a box but a bowl. I guess they didn't do the box thing way back then. There was a misinterpretation of the word bowl to box in the 15th century and it has stuck for the last 500 years.

Vivication, rebirth, spiritual awakening is what this painting represents.

She has released the fear of death and stands her truth. She knows the meaning and purpose of her life here and understands the suffering of humanity, she has an awareness and the ability to stay balanced and centered amid the storms of life.

She has awakened and shares her Inner Freedom with those who are waiting and anticipating their awareness.

I am also a Reiki Master Practitioner. Reiki is a wonderful treatment that alleviates anxiety, stress, balances your chakras and facilitates energetic healing which in turn helps the body stay healthy and happy. Reiki does not cure but is a complementary treatment to Western medicine. I do not give medical advice.
