"Gifts" by Marilyn Wells, 30" x 40", oil and cold wax, framed

Gifts by Marilyn Wells, 48" x 36", oil & cold wax on wood panel, framed, is one of my most recent paintings in my Solo Show, Seeing Through at D'Art Gallery in Denver CO.

This painting was inspired by:

It is lucky to hear the flutes for dancing

coming down the road. The ground is glowing.

The table is set in the yard.

Would you like to see the moon

split in half with one throw?

In this visionary body of work, I welcome you into a world of diaphanous light, subtle transparency, and inner presence. These paintings invite you to know there are layers of being to explore, both from our past in the Neolithic and Magic ages through to the ever-present realm that surrounds us, unseen, but revealed when we search for it. The object is to know that we all belong to something much larger than we have imagined, absolutely safe and secure, as well as beautiful, and to know that we have nothing to fear or be angry about, therein finding new peace, hope, and purpose in our lives altogether. 

These works are created in oil and cold wax on wood panel or canvas, using layered techniques that echo the emergence of form from unseen depths.
