Abstract sumi e Original “Instead of Getting to Heaven” by Marilyn Wells

Abstract sumi e painting Original, Zen style, with ink wash, wet and dry brushstrokes by Marilyn Wells was inspired by

Instead of getting to Heaven, at last-

I’m going, all along.

  - Emily Dickinson 1908S

Do you love Emily Dickinson as much as most Americans do? I feel her statement about We’re Going, all along is exactly true. It’s about being present, here, now, in the moment. The Kingdom of Heaven surely is Within and Without. Until you find it within, you may have trouble finding it without. This is the entire point of meditation and is in all religions of the world I have encountered so far, and they are numerous. Be Here Now. -Ram Dass. It is beautiful, small like Emily’s world, and large as Infinity.

These paintings are each unique art works. Imperfections are to be expected and are the hallmark of original art and the artist's hand, true wabi sabi. Sizes of original painting may vary, each approximately 14” x 18” - mat size is 18” x 22”. Each comes with its own Certificate of Authentication, packaged in a clear sleeve.

I’m happy to send more photos and details upon request. Prints also available.

I can arrange to have framing with a UV acrylic protective cover done by my personal framer, Metropolitan Frame Company, Denver, CO for $255.00 with 2-3 weeks time additional. This frame is a clean, modern, charcoal black finish, my personal choice. Packing and Handling charges will apply. Choose the “With Frame” Option.
