Solstice

 Triptic , 3 suns representing the never ending days during summer solstice in Iceland. The woman represents the light celebratory part of the holidays for no real reason. Dress up party time. This year was hard. It didn’t feel light for me. It feels like a big year of transition. I couldn’t fit the 3rd sun in behind her so now it’s part of her.  Gives it a kind of sparkle. Sun, Cocktail, Star. Tree. Not sure why but its too late to change now.

Rough Sketch based on morning pages which included Elegant gowned women, John Lennon, Solstice sun stream across the skies of Iceland, Berries that adorn the scapulas, and something about the song the 12 days of Christmas which turns out to be all about birds. I’ve been and listening to podcasts about existentialism and along with this I’ve been attending the Unitarian church these last few sundays. I never really knew much about them but have felt really inspired by their inclusiveness to pretty much anyone. It’s my kind of spirituality. I just started the painting today on canvas. Not sure where it will go from the initial drawing or what Ill discover from it.
