crystal ocean rose

I completed ‘Crystal Ocean Rose’ 12th December 24, it took me 4 months.  Daily life, the weeks, time, morphed into a field of interactive, creative expression. My whole reality shifted. I let go into a space of finding my essence within the process of making something with my hands. Painted in the early hours, peaceful and silent, an act of self love and enquiry into the moment. 

I set my intentions to paint a rose, on canvas, in oil. The painting is large at 120cm square and has been such a wonderful, elaborate journey. 

These past few months have been some of the most challenging times of my life but painting helped me integrate and lift layers and layers of misty detritus., like a golden thread, guiding light flowing towards source. I choose for now, the flowers and rose as guide, powerful and reflective of love, fire passion, connection with the elements raw open to our solar rays, life force creative centre. 

As I painted, very often the space opened to liquidity where the flow was crystalline, like an ocean of sound, music. In each moment, potential, the more I let go the freer the flow. My daily life responded in a way that the days became immersive and full, veils released, lifted 3d reality to reveal the same crystal ocean. I let go of my pea brain mind in working things out, trying to control the outcome, desperately trying to make sense of the external madness, chaos. stories and dramas. 

Letting go and trusting as it all unfolds, the journey has indeed begun to reflect my choice to be as a flower unfolding within the Waters of Eternal Life forever outward flowing.

The painting, the rose, become inner temple space, foundation pillars of light and sound. At the same time I felt the process like a continuous birthing or seeding Eden within. Paradise entered through just allowing myself to create, to find the space and give to myself this gift, outside time.

I have found creativity to be invaluable in grounding and coming to centre in body, there’s peace there, healing and connection, the thread is golden, weaving magic, a way in and out. Freedom to choose to create.

One Ocean, One flower, One Love
