Painting from a poem ...

This next post is about one painting -  which came about as a result of a retreat with fellow OneSpirit minister -  you know who you are .  We were read a poem called ' Meditation for  the fully realised woman '   by Karen Andes,  and asked afterwards to write down key words , or phrases ,that had stood out to us .    I did a drawing .  Which  later ,  back home in the studio , became this painting .  And then i did add a phrase from the poem round the edge of the canvas ...  all is in these photos ..drawing ..  1st stage of painting ,  finished painting ,  and text on the edges
