One Twenty One

We just completed our painting "One Twenty One" last night. After stepping back to spend some time with our new creation, we realized that it connected for us how we feel about Inauguration Day. It wasn't our intention to make a painting to commemorate the day, but the strong feelings of hope and reconciliation crept up and out of our creative beings. It was as if there was no stopping what is happening in us, our community, our country and the world. We have had many thoughts and prayers from friends around the planet that feel this same sense of newness. So it is fitting for us as we explore our new Genesis+Art. Blessings for a new day.

New Beginnings

It is a new year for creation and new beginnings at the Genesis Art Studio. Changes abound for us and our work. We are beginning a series of seven paintings, one for each day of creation. The seven paintings are more of a continued fascination with the creation story and how it can become part of our own interior story. We have become increasingly more aware of light and have been pondering the first light of the universe and the connection to the light that is continually shining in one's own heart. We hope that the exploration will draw us closer to the continuing creation. 

In the Beginningness, In the time before time begins, In the rest before movement begins, In the space where nothing but Elohim is, was, and will be. It all unfolds and moves like the wings of a bird taking flight, like a spark turning to flame, spreading to fire in all directions. From this center everything travels toward its purpose, somehow moving its own kernel of destiny known only to the Holy One.
