Instant Connection

Last night I went through the blogs I follow and came across my friend’s gallery Tiffany Arp-Daleo Artwork. I have showcased her work in both Humoring the Goddess and Sunday Evening Art Gallery. 

 

Tiffany has a unique way of creating abstract paintings — I love them..

This was Tiffany’s post yesterday:

Shadows Within

6/9” Mixed media on paper

Now I don’t spend a lot of time looking closely at contemporary art. I usually love a painting because of the colors or the shapes or a compilation that somehow attracts me.

The first thing I thought when I looked at this pic is: Is that my body? Are those the black spots of hell showing up throughout my torso?

I then wondered if this was a message from Tiffany. Why did she called it Shadows Within? Was this an attempt to tell her readers something?  A Cosmic Message? Or if it was just painting of orange and pink and black?

Even though I love all sorts of Art, I rarely have an emotional connection with them. There are billions of paintings or quilts or ceramics that are worth a second look, but rarely does one shoot out a bolt of connection between human and object.

I’m tickled to pieces.

This is why I keep encouraging you to open up to the Creative Magic that’s everywhere around you. Not every creation is for you — that’s why there’s such diversity in Arts and Crafts. But sooner or later something is going to resonate with you and it will be extraordinary.

Thanks for the unexpected zap, Tiffany!
