The Illusions of the Ego

This is another painting inspired by my favorite book, The Course In Miracles.   The title comes from Chapter 4. It says, You can change your mind. When your mood tells you that you have chosen wrongly, and this is so whenever you are not joyous, then know this not to be.

I have experienced this myself many times. I can be very angry at something that happened to me that day. I stop for a moment and remember that I create my own reality and I don't have to be upset. I simply change the way I think about the situation. In other words I change my mind and turn anger into peace.

Carrie's Flower

This is a good example of what I call "broken borders".  Once this painting is framed the rounded shapes breaking into the colored center will be more prominent. It is like painting a puzzle and I just love the process.
