    JoyRiders-Rassouli

    Joy Riders by Rassouli oil on canvas,  36" x 48"

    A beautiful painting of Soul’s amazing journey back to Source. I see Soul spiraling through inner-space. Passing through all the dimensions back to God-head. Experiencing all Creation along the way. Tasting, seeing, loving, living, flying and being a Holy spark of God. Wonderful!

    Rassouli says, "I believe we are multi-dimensional beings who exist simultaneously beyond time and space in infinite dimensions.  Various dimensions of existence are reflected in my paintings as different cycles in a flowing spiral that represents our soul.

    rassouli Rassouli, born in Isfahan, Iran was inspired by his mystical uncle. As a result he developed an early appreciation for painting and mystical poetry. He studied classical and impressionistic art as well as mysticism. In 1963 he immigrated to the United States where he continued his education in art and architecture. You can view more of his beautiful works at his rassouli.com.

    Aquita Water Fairy by Bonnee Klein Gilligan (2008) Pastel on paper, 9" x 12"

    Aquita is a water fairy or water elemental. A magical creature or Nature Spirit called an Undine. Water is the third basic element; the most primary form in which liquid can exist. It is the origin of everything. Water Fairies draw vitality from the sun are playful and give water energy. They are in charge of the purpose of water. Rhythm, flow and movement is important to their life.

    Expressive of self-control, passion, emotion and reproduction. Water elementals sometimes transform to resemble people like the Selkies in Ireland.

    Aquita says, "I AM Water – I flow, I reflect, I sustain and nourish life…. I AM Water. I AM cold or frozen, warm, hot or steamy. I AM ethereal and tangible. I AM smooth and liquid. I AM hard and wet. I AM emotion and sexual passion. I AM sensuous. I AM reproduction. I AM Water – I flow in, through and around you. I sustain you. I AM androgynous. I AM all of this and more. I AM Water.”

    You can see more of my works at Creative Spiritual Works and purchase prints of Aquita at Spirit Art Gallery. Enjoy!

  • The Blue and the Red

    The blue and the red-Jonathon Earl Bowser

    The Blue and the Red by Jonathon Earl Bowser Oil on Canvas-Panel – 24" x 16"

    This striking painting speaks volumes to me. Creation, movement, life, ensoulment, light… as well Void, stillness, innerspace, non-existence, darkness. The Goddess of Darklight (dark matter, innerspace) – Christenya, the Mother, the womb of Creation. It speaks of energy and matter, light and darkness, duality and Oneness. The infinite nature of ‘All That Is’. Of cycles – birth, life, Jonathon Earl Bowser death. Of time as Present Moment.  Fabulous!  Prints are available.

    Jonathon Earl Bowser was born in Canada in 1962. He began drawing at age 8, painting at age 18, and graduated from the Alberta College of Art in 1984.
