The Magic of Water
(Continuation of exhibit from previous post.)
“Jupiter”
“Rose Hills, Blue Trees”
“Summer Heat”
“Water in its natural state shows us how it wants to flow, and we must obey its wishes.”
–Viktor Schauberger
Water is the medium. Water is my brush. Using watercolors on wet paper, I allow the water’s capillary action to “suggest” an image from the natural world and then work with it, using a variety of methods. I have sought to capture scenes from nature with dazzling, bleeding color. The paintings are an exercise in “letting go” and allowing the creative energies to flow, after preparing the mind through meditation.
As abstractions, the paintings are personal visions—the impressions of light and color and thus do not always appear as they exist in the natural world. However, since landscapes are my passion, the results most often appear within the realm of that genre.
Finally these paintings, as renditions of nature, are reflections of the magnificence of the shimmering wilderness and thus, in some small measure, are my own awestruck reflections on the majesty of creation.

Hi Ellen,
Hope this finds you well! I have long enjoyed Viktor Schauberger’s writings, and loved finding them here alongside your beautiful work… These are really quite sublime…
Peace

Hello and thank you so much for stopping by with your thoughts, Michael! If you like Viktor Schauberger, you must read: “Water, Pure and Simple: the infinite wisdom of an extraordinary molecule” by Paolo Consigli, MD. That is where I came across the Schauberger quote. It is a wonderful read. Take care and, again, thank you, ellen

Dear Ellen,
I have seen some documentaries about Viktor Schauberger about nature and water – it was really interesting. Yes, thank you very much for your suggestion – to read books are surely more fascinating 🙂
Also for you a great weekend, dear Ellen 🙂
