Alternate realities.

These paintings, first two digitally created and second three acrylic oils, are to depict some things I have heard of spiritually but have never exactly figured out how to paint -- most especially when it's on the spirit end.
Twin Flames, is still in process and might change if I figure out how to show something that is spirit while using something solid-- which even painting with light is. Spirit and flesh, two halves of a whole, a concept more than the individuals (or would that be individual). Are these the faces of fleshly beings or only how they'd be seen in the spirit form? Spirit ones might not look like people at all. Maybe they'd be just light beings with no recognizable features. Maybe it would be through the energy that they would be recognized. To paint it though requires faces and I created these for this concept.

To take the mythic image and make it human, it should be a reflection of the higher soul. I worked hardest on the eyes as they say that where we might not recognize someone's face when we have been with them in other lifetimes, the eyes stay the same. When we look into them, we will recognize that person. The second painting, digitally using the same couple as above, relates to something a psychic told me this fall that I was doing-- my soul currently living an alternate life-- not just mine but another somewhere else at the same time. Naturally I don't know if that could be; or if it was what that life would look like or even what country it would be in, what cultural group.

Last summer, before that soul reader told me what she saw, I imagined such a possibility when in the Big Hole Valley and wrote about it in Alternate Lives.

The Bible speaks of twin souls as the beginning with Adam and Eve, but it is also in other myths like of Isis and Osiris, and today in new age books. Shirley Maclaine described what a twin soul would be, how it would be created, in her book The Camino about as well as I have heard it explained.

Through the years, I have both sculpted and painted this idea. These next three paintings were done over ten years ago and are acrylics. The first I called Twin Souls
In that same period, a Navajo wedding vase became the inspiration for a painting of a younger man and older woman. Is this his mother who is his other half? Or an older woman who is not letting go of her younger lover easily? Wedding Vase is in acrylic.Last there is Adam and Eve the second time around-- the concept being the first humans screwed up the earth and must start over-- acrylic but with some oil
