Description
The woman depicted is drinking in the beauty of the landscape, immersed in the natural elements and the wonder they bring. Joyfully, she scoops up water and raises her arms enthusiastically. She is one who lives fully, enjoying her existence, and praises the majesty of creation. She is near a natural waterfall where she often frequents, relaxing and refreshing herself.
This painting for me is symbolic of the inner experience I have as an artist when I go to the ocean, listen to music, make love, create, or dance. My body feels sensuous, fully vibrant, awake, and enlivened. I feel the complete rapture of my experience. My senses tingle and my body feels awake to my every sensation and pulsing heartbeat.
Everything about the lushness of the trees, the vibrancy of the water and the luminescence of the mid-day sun draws me back to these moments of utter peace and connection.
The original inspiration for this painting came from my time spent in the jungles of Costa Rica, and while I lived there I visited many waterfalls in the valley where I lived. The pristine landscape and was brimming with life and nuance, and at every turn there was some natural wonder that looked and felt jaw droppingly gorgeous. Nature has a way of making me feel the beauty deep in my heart. ;)
