This here is a 3ft (36in) by 4ft (48in) mixed media painting on canvas entitled LEONIE.

Named so in dedication to her memory, she was the most awesomest grandmother ever. The skills she and my grandfather have taught me throughout the both of their existence is uncomparable to anything else in my time here on this planet. Grandparents are amazing and of course we wouldn’t be here without them.

LEONIE features an array of blue hues, in it the four fixed signs of the Zodiac Astrology which are Aquarius (Air), Leo (Fire), Taurus (Earth), and Scorpio (Water), along with The Twin Towers, The Empire State Building including the Zaha Hadid masterpiece the Scorpion Tower. It also features Black Mamba, some Angels above a very important discussion, some birds, the arduous New York City train ride, furthermore another angel in the center guiding a young man’s Mind and Heart together during the journey of ones ascension.

The moral of the painting what I was meaning to convey in it is, to follow your dreams and believe. The four birds represent a stability alongside the four fixed signs to master your elements and energy, when all added together it reaches a total of eight which brings a balance of the spiritual and material worlds.

It is this happiness I was hoping to bring in this piece of art, hoping that everyone can see this truth in all of its mystery, the seen and the unseen, the passionate fire, moreover the emotional tides that rumble inside of us all on this earthly 3Dimensional plane.

Took me just a little time to post this yet better late than never. I was looking at television the other night and it was The Kennedy Center Honors cover performance of Heart singing Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin, an amazing performance I might add the vocals were on point and honestly brought you there.

There was just something that resonated with me internally that helped me align my mind with my heart and made me think of this painting, possibly a paradigm shift or accoustic awakening either way Im guessing this is My Stairway to Heaven.

This one is for you Leonie Massop (and Grandfather) including all of the other great people we have lost in the physical that are so forth present today. View the Vimeo here.

Catch you all on the next one.
