Love Explodes Into Life

Love Explodes Into Life


My journey on the theme of love continued with this painting. This was the last in a group of three. I have made no effort here to define the love I am speaking of in each of the three paintings; I will leave you to work that out for yourself. If you have read my other blog these past days, and I am always surprised how many do, you will be aware of my thoughts on the meaning of the word.


This one was painted in total silence. So much of my work is done with music playing. Sometimes the music is the music I create as I whistle my favourite tunes. Once I used to be able to sing, now I am grateful I manage to speak. I so miss signing so I compensate with the whistle.

This painting had no whistle, no music, just that inner burst of emotion as you contemplate the things that make you LOVE. The love I speak of is AGAPE. (See the other blog)

The colours used were the colours of my mind on that day. I looked at no colour wheel I just painted. I could almost have done this with my eyes closed.

I have been talking with my blind friend Andy about this topic. Of colour and how we would depict in the inner eye the thoughts we have.

He is almost ready to put a canvas on an easel and we will begin an adventure.

  1. This is a beautiful painting and it was a beautiful idea to paint it as you did, just letting the emotions inside guide you... I should try that sometime... but it would involve a "letting go" and that is not easy for control-freaks like me!

  2. Agape love - the love the Father has for us.

  4. I hope your friend enjoys painting too..the story of love made me think of many words that been polluted with overuse..some that come to mind are: hero, sorry,surreal, awesome..I really have no love for these words anymore!
