Painting Inner Light
Radiant Vessel, 24 x 36 oil painting by Melody Phaneuf, in private collection
~
As autumn’s light diminishes I find myself in a contemplative and sometimes, vulnerable state of mind. Something has to be done to hinder the enveloping darkness that exhausts my spirit.
I search for combinations of colors that glow. I’m looking for the vibration in color that simulates the radiance of absent sunlight. When the relationship is flawless, color effectuates brilliant inner light.
Experiencing the presence of inner light in a painting is as powerful as repeating a mantra to focus my mind and refine emotion. Surrounding myself with illumination lifts my spirit. It is my remedy for transforming winter darkness.
