In search of tranquility - The journey of a painting 

I dig into my imagination to find the image, not an impression of a particular photo or an experience. I take a journey and peel back layers of my subconscious imagination. Each stage of the painting below is a layer in search of the image from my imagination. Some layers are easier than others. But mostly it is a challenge.

I have taken pictures of each stage to show you how many layers of images  I had to paint, before the final painting emerged. Its a beautiful journey, at times mind wrecking, but greatly rewarding.

Painting from imagination shows the individuality of the artist and the power of the subconscious mind. 

"Imagination 
You are deathless, birthless,  
You are the infinite spirit."
