Description
An expression of joy using originally watercolours and then adding digital effects some years later.
This artwork was initially inspired by an experience I had while sitting on Strathfield train station in Sydney Australia many years ago. It was a beautiful day with blue skies and perfect temps. I sat waiting in a relaxed and inwardly quiet manner and as I relaxed I became increasingly aware of the beauty of the day. Then a spontaneous feeling of joy welled up inside me that felt too beautiful to describe in words and I became very conscious of how special this feeling I was experiencing was. Then I thought.....how can I hold onto this feeling or keep it in my memory, since I knew how easy it is to lose a feeling or memory. So I pulled out my train timetable and found a blank page and began to draw what I felt, with the foreknowledge that I would go home and try and paint this in honour of the gift and blessing I felt I was being given through this experience. This watercolour painting was the end result.
Now after so many years I am able to remember that joy as I look at this image......and am reminded of the many gifts and blessings that I have been given through the gift of Divine Grace! Also wonderful to have the gift of creative expression, what ever that may be! :-)
The digital effects added later by the way was to enhance the feeling of fluidity and aliveness of this image.
