"The Gate", acrylics on board
Oh soul,
you worry too much.
You have seen your own strength.
You have seen your own beauty.
You have seen your golden wings.
Of anything less,
why do you worry?
You are in truth
the soul, of the soul, of the soul.
-- Rumi

Starting the week with a coffee and a masterpiece from you. Couldn't get better ^_^
Thanks again @trumpman for your support!
That is amazing! Such good detail
Thanks!
Another masterpiece!
The details, the light right in the middle...
To me, this tornado is like the passage of death, but for some reason it does not make me feel sad or scared. It's a weird feeling, like this is a Gate to the Underworld, only that the Underworld is not a place of sorrow and torture, it's a place of existence. Neutral existence, neither happiness nor sadness.
Thank you Ruth for exploring my painting!
Excellent! I like the recurring themes in your paintings, the small patches of greenery in an seemingly barren environment and the female figures blended in the architectural formations (same as in Fosil III)! Framing in my opinion is very important, as the proper one will add to the viewing pleasure, while the wrong one will obscure aspects of the painting from the viewer.
Interestingly enough, I was just thinking of posting about The 9th Gate by Polanski, and voila! there is a post named "The Gate" in my feed...
Thank you! :-)
