| Energy Part III by April M Rimpo |
Half way through the challenge and here is the completion of my triptych Energy.
The composite painting is pose seven in Sun Salutation, the Cobra. I've learned the breathing exercise in this pose activates the sacral chakra (energy center) between the belly button and pelvis. Some sources associate this chakra with yellows and other with orange. I decided to focus on yellow and include some orange colors as well. The breathing exercise in this pose is said to radiate personal power, self esteem, willfulness, and energy.

DeleteLove your palette and purpose :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sheila. This yellow series was actually a struggle for me.
ReplyDeleteApril,
ReplyDeleteI like the concept and love that you are focusing on energy. It's interesting to see it as a whole.
Thank you. Making the whole work while the pieces working independently has been an challenge in and of itself. I think I've succeeded on most, but not all.
DeleteAhhh, it all becomes clear now - a super idea for a series, very clever and inspiring!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rolina. My mind likes puzzles and figuring how to present those puzzles to others. However, it has kept the 30 in 30 a fun undertaking.
DeleteI love the joining of these, especially the red-line framing as both accent and continuity.
ReplyDeleteYou have a great artistic eye. Have you started classes yet?
