I completed Shine Theory a few weeks ago. Sometimes the idea for a painting evolves as I compose. Images appear and disappear. The music I am listening to changes. The mood swings and swings back. This is one of those paintings. It is lots of things to me. It is about a safe and quiet space. It is about vulnerability. It is about allowing the light that glows from others fall onto you and glisten. It is about illumination. It is about the meaning of beauty. So just gaze at it and let it be whatever it means to you.
Here are a few words by the poet Marcin Brykczynski
A white heron's dream
The orange moon
Is blinking
Over the roofs of Manhattan
Don't answer
If he asks you
About the dreams
The white heron has brought
You don't have to reveal it
As long as the lions you dream
Protect you
Against the curiosity of the world
