Abstract Art

it was time for a change...

... the old way wasn't working any more.... 
in fact it never did.
So I started to paint...

 

Carmel-123
iNiTiATiON

in the silence 
of a blank canvas
i am schlepped
through the portal
of my heart

cover me in orange
it cries

finally
i close the door
on a way of life
worn obsolete 

... new doors
open
revealing
an entirely new world

who i have become
continues to unravel
... revealing the me
i've meant to be
all along

my iNiTiATiON has begun

...it's time to paint

something happened

that day
my four year old
boarded the big silver bird
that took him
to another country
6,000 miles away

one of life's potent portals
schlepping me
into deeper connection
with the only version of me
i can really be

this and every moment
an iNiTiATiON
back to 
the spontaneous
unwaveringly
stubbornly
sovereign
self

i don't have a vision  

before i start to paint
it's not me
who's painting
it's a compliance
with my source energy
that unfurls
like nature
from the inside out
void
of art-school rules
or any kind of discipline
at all
just a dialogue
with my own source 
pouring out
my inner realms
handing over
of who i think i am
and all that i am not
until the canvas stops talking
and the moment is complete
with a new creation
staring me in the eye
with a story
I've only just now heard

unfurling 

each layer of life
a new path
another emergence
of life's great mystery

frond by frond
like nature

no plan
no vision

just unfurling

dreaming
life
into existence
one breath
one step
from the inside out

i look forward
to sharing this journey
with you

art for interior design

I welcome inquiries from interior designers looking for commissioned pieces of abstract art to adorn their environments. These collaborations between myself as the artist, you as the designer and the client who receives the work in the end, are a profound and multi layered invitation to dream with the muse a new realm into reality. One can only wonder what such a collaboration has in store for us?

for now this corner of reality
is for you to peruse
where perhaps you'll glean
some inspiration 
of your own
while i 
find my way
through the mystery of the muse
i am only just now
realizing
is the me
i've been
all along
when answering
to my own inner authority

Carmel-116

Born and raised Carmel Cathie

I take the name Boone
the name
that I gave to my son
the gift that he is to me
also the gift
that is
this art

rise 1

Rise
like the pheonix
from the ashes
the order 
from the chaos
the new 
from the old

Rise
like the relentless love 
of a parent
the endless tide
of an ocean
the persistent growth
of an old oak tree

Rise
to the top
like the cream
in the cup
of your own
creative life

It matters not
the ashes
the chaos
the old
the confusion
uncertainty
or indirection

What matters most
in this unpredictable world
is that you rise 
to the beat
of your own drum
steeped
in love
singing
the lyrics
of your own song
laughing
at your own stupid jokes
forgiving
each change in the tide
you didn't see coming
knowing
all the way
that the only way
to ride the winds of change
is your own dam way
