I try to seek Solitude daily so that I can continue to expand my self-awareness, compassion and
forgiveness.
The Solitude series was painted in July 2018, on the days preceding my 50th birthday and several days
after. I started thinking about the many tasks and errands I do daily and decided I wanted to pare it back
for a month, only doing things outside my environment that are absolutely necessary, spending extra
time painting, keeping a journal, healing and meditating.
A limited color palette reduces the amount of decisions I need to make during a painting. When you
become lighter in mind, body and spirit things look different.
The emergence of true self lets ego go and expands awareness. Lao Tzu -Tao te Ching
