sail away

acrylic paint, colored pencils, oil pastels, and matte gel medium on muslin


"... And how did I find you? How strange my journey was! ... Give me your hand, my almost forgotten soul. How warm the joy at seeing you again, you long disavowed soul. Life has led me back to you. Let us thank the life I have lived for all the happy and all the sad hours, for every joy, for every sadness. My soul, my journey should continue with you. I will wander with you..."

Carl Jung, The Red Book

    Yes indeed - soulful is a great word to describe this work. I love the Jung quote, too.

    And that link you put in? The post that is up now is hilarious and macabre at the same time!

    All the best in 2010 for you, Lynne!

    thank you, jude.

    thank you, viv...

    and janine, and b & w, robyn, and renee! love and thanks to you, kind women! joyous, prosperous new year wishes to you!

    k., lol, today's post at 'accidental mysteries' is a trip! i just found this blog a week or so ago and each day is different - and interesting!

    i am having a good time with these layers, and yes, possibly reading jung has influenced me here. it feels so right to be able to combine faces with simple scenes. i love this combination... xo

    thank you jasmine... yes, gentle winds and the boat is being guided by the red star. for me the red star represents my Self, the widest, biggest part of me... xo

    thank you, cat.

    hi delphyne, thank you and i wish you the same!

    This gentle image somehow reminds me if Paul Klee. Lynne, your work always speaks softly and this is a gentle Winter song x
