Sky of Grace

Spiritual Awakening of Humanity

I later learned that he chose my art piece, Sky of Grace, because of the order of colors. The foreground of this original painting is focused on the color green, represented in the lush grasses. In Chinese cultural beliefs, green represents Life. Moving further into the art, you see various shades of blue water, which means Abundance and Fortune. Beyond the water are sienna-colored mountains depicting the solid, grounding Support of the Earth. The blue sky is the Presence of the Universe, and finally, the bright yellow sun and its reflection in the water represent the Buddha Light – the Spiritual Awakening of Humanity. Who knew?

Day Dreaming

This time the title of this contemporary landscape Sky of Grace, came to me in a daydream. Other times I delight in asking my sweetheart what she would name it and when that doesn’t work, I meditate on it. When bringing landscape wall art to Life, I often marvel at how easy it is for me to let my energy flow, and flow it did! That’s when  I decided to use oil rather than acrylic. Emotion and movement in an upward fashion were what I was thinking when creating this wall art decor. I believe the reflection shows that.

Willow Lake

The reference I used for Sky of Grace is “Willow Lake” in Prescott, AZ, home to the World’s oldest rodeo. July 4, 1888, became the birthday of professional rodeo when Prescott, Arizona, merchants and professional businessmen organized the first formalized “cowboy tournament” and offered cash prizes. In this crazy World, a cowboy named Juan Leivas walked off with rodeo’s first professional title and documented in the subsequent edition of the Arizona Journal-Miner. These “Cowboy Contests” continued and were planned, promoted, and carried out by a committee of local merchants.
