Original acrylic, mixed media painting (on mixed media paper) in a 12” x 12” mat with a protective sleeve.
Affirmations #7: Compassion, the seventh in the series. Although I had painted on this in the light of day, I ended up developing it further at night, in poor lighting. (Not my usual process. I love working with natural light.) I enjoyed playing with some colored pencils and papers. The next morning, I was surprised to see it in day light. It only seemed to need minimal additions to bring it to completion.
This was started with the word, Compassion, and then I added a quote about compassion before developing the image. Now the words barely show through at all.
The quote: “Our task must be to feel ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty.” ― Albert Einstein
