spirit path




I started these canvasses by giving them a light black wash, and then leaving them to dry on my study floor. Minutes later my son walked past and inadvertently stood on one. I quite liked the result so I had him stand on the other one too :)
Not what I had in mind when I started out, but I'm pleased anyway...

The mountain range in the background is Table Mountain, which blesses Cape Town in postcards all over the world.
The red and blue paths signify the spirit walk and the earth walk.
I've grown up in Cape Town, and in this painting I'm paying tribute to the Mother City and her role in my spiritual development.
