Spangle

“Know, first, who you are, and then adorn yourself accordingly.” – Unknown

When you see first light in the morning, know that it is the same light that is in you. In your gratitude for life, your inner light makes the world a brighter place. You have stardust in your spirit and as you give it to others, your light will continue to grow.

Each time we connect with those around us in light and love, opportunities abound in passing it around.  It starts by developing a positive mindset and recognizing the gift of life. By helping others to see their light, it will shine back on you.

Let your life be spangled with radiance!

Chasm ”Every creator painfully experiences the chasm between his inner vision and its ultimate expression.” – Isaac Bashevis Singer

With each new painting there are layers of vision imagined. Sometimes it starts out as splash of paint on the canvas with hopes of a whimsical offering to the art gods. Some days the paint brush is on fire while the paint is the kindling, with strokes of liberty. Other days there’s hesitation and broken contours as nothing seems to make sense.

This painting is called Chasm as it reveals the depths of an unpredictable vision. The colors merge into each other with ease creating canyons of dreams and high hopes. These rippling arrangements are expressions of art in its finest form.

Liberation

“The artist produces for the liberation of his soul. It is his nature to create as it is the nature of water to run down the hill.” – W. Somerset Maugham

During a lifetime of spiritual study and experience, I’ve become deeply influenced by the power of possibility.  I devote much of my artistic expression to visual images of human intention and the necessary connections between action and purpose.

In Spring of 2006, I was searching for the essence of the authentic soul.  In this work, I attempted to express the extraordinary elation that accompanies human transformation.

The bold colors in this painting command attention to what is happening within. The blending of red, orange and yellow signify the intensity and power of the experience.  It is as though once acknowledged, the force of intention liberates the soul’s energy into the world, into decisive and positive action.

There is a mighty sense of release in this painting.  I’d like to encourage you to liberate the power that lies dormant within your soul. This painting reminds us that this is not only a rewarding journey, but a necessary one.

Chromatic ~ As the Chromatic ripples saturate the canvas in this vivacious piece, a new creation emerges. This painting represents the beginning of all color. The eclipse of reflected light overwhelms the atmosphere and creates a rhythmical fusion as each color is conceived.

Convergence

“In painting you must give the idea of the true means of the false.” – Edgar Degas

This painting speaks to the theme of unifying opposing ideas and concepts.  Through the process of convergence, we see that the whole can be greater than the sum of the parts.  In this painting, Ralph White sought to expand the concept of the spiritual journey beyond the individual to the communal.

Convergence displays a lovely color palette that blends reds, purples and oranges in a harmonious tableau. The colors work together and complement each other. There is a demarcation, however, right down the center of the painting.  Careful study reveals that while reds are found on both sides of the painting, purples are relegated to the left and oranges to the right. There are two different forces at work here, both relevant and vital, yet distinctly opposed.

How often in life are we faced with this sort of dichotomy?  While we are faithful to our beliefs, we must also find ways to work together to remain productive and not dysfunctional. In this painting, White suggests that divergent beings can remain authentic while blending together to create combined beauty.  The trick is in being able to acknowledge and affirm the relevance of each person’s intention.  If intentions are honorable, then cooperation can occur.
