Wow. What can I add to that? Together, you’ve both provided the verbal side to this mystical visual event, painting even further into it with words. Your painting has soul, Jan, and more than that, it has the feel of a sexy slow dance to the hottest soul song in the universe; the beating heart of us all… divine.

Karima….your words are so powerful for me. You are just exploding with creative brilliance in your own multifaceted art……and it is transforming you! And now you spill it onto my art and it is like a beautiful poetic mind soaking into my art and coming out with such beautiful words to describe the experience.
“Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder”….

I love what you said: “…at the exact second of a critical mystical happening, and everything enclosed is electrified,…”…and,,, “…this energy flowing out and yet wrapped inside an orb, it magnifies the sensation…” ya…..wow! That is it. You gave this painting a deeper magic by experiencing it in the way that you did.
But really…part of Seeing/experiencing something, anything,…. is about taking the time, and the open silence, and the focused awareness, to be able to so fully experience a thing.
With your art, i find that if i just totally give myself to the experience you have created ….i am taken away into realms out of this world…that leave me speechless, often with tears running down my face, i am so moved.
All of us that follow you are witnessing something extraordinary. Thank you so much for taking the time to See my art with your bright eyes!!!

Oh..so very beautiful Jan..This orb has taken it’s own life, been infused with its own spirit, in an odd way I feel I am witnessing that infusion, and I see in this painting, in this sensual orchid, almost a baptismal basin where it dips into to sanctify that infusion of soul.. so different in feeling from the first, The Alien Chrysalis. I feel romance in the globe too, passion in the red “curtain -scarves” standing at attention framing the moment..witnessing.It does seem like it is right at the exact second of a critical mystical happening and everything enclosed is electrified, yes I feel the ticklely feeling of this energy flowing out and yet wrapped inside an orb, it magnifies the sensation, and I could imagine feeling heat if I held it in my hands. Yes it is a moment of joy of awe and that laughter of the “blissed and blessed”…I think your last line says it so well,”The diamond Purpose of our journey in this universe is to allow the Spiritual Light to thoroughly fertilize us…until we shine, glow….laughingly”
Thank you for sharing this talent given to you, this great gift and don, that can make tangible and visual the most subtle and amazing truths, where words seem to fail, your brush strokes, paint on and fill in the mysteries for us all who are lucky enough to rest our gaze upon and contemplate. Simply beautiful, I feel like I tip-toed into a sanctuary and witnessed something very pure and divine..
Amazing my friend!!
