Evolution of creation - Part two

So, as promised, I have returned to the Elephant creation and thankfully I am no longer precious over this. I have been playing with 3D paints and felt that this painting needed it. So with that said and continuing with the lotus flower replication in various forms, it was time to break out the 3D paints for another exploration of the Lotus flowers.

Interestingly enough, one of my friends, who has been watching this painting unfold has reminded me that the colour and lotus is representative of the sacral chakra - swadhistana chakra, although it hadn't fully evolved at that stage. I have since added 6 further lotus petals. Though often you will see the lotus flower evolved on many levels, so the sacral chakra could still apply to this creation.

The energy and feeling of the creation certainly rises from the root chakra towards the sacral, so there is definitely an evolution being replicated in the painting. There is still more to be done with this painting, so this blog too will evolve into a 3rd part, to show its completion.

Here, is the next part of the journey -

Using 3D paint to evolve the Lotus petals

As you can see the 6th petal has not yet been finalised, sadly I ran out of Gold 3D paint, so this will have to wait to be finished. Each outer Lotus Petals has a different pattern inside, the idea shown to me was based on the fact of demonstrating uniqueness of the individual within a community. So whilst we may have similarities on the surface, we all have a unique make-up that makes us who we are and the way we think. The individual lotus petals pays homage to our differences within the wider community.

Having added the 3D Gold paint the rest of the painting now looked flat, so with that in mind it was time to raise other areas of the painting -

Peacocks and Central Area raised with 3D paints

The central area felt a little bare still and needed further definition. There was a need for the peacocks to have ripples below them. It has often been said that peacocks, fan out their feathers when it is about to rain, so the idea of blue circle ripples under the peacocks felt right. The blue dots are the connects we make to all things in life, the ebb and flow of those connections and how the bloom and grow within us before moving on.

Outlining the peacock's fan with green 3D paint, just accentuated their presence within the painting, the grace and beauty of the Peacock for all to see, to acknowledge its display in all its glory and to recognise that all things in life have a purpose. In the case of a peacock, not only to show off when in the throws of courtship but also to warn those that are aware of forthcoming rain.

Enjoy till the next time we meet ....
