Messages from Beyond

I submitted this painting to Hunting Oil LLC search for this years Texas Artist competition. They will announce the finalists pretty soon and I'm excitedly waiting on word that this painting made it thru the first level. It's titled "Messages from Beyond". I hope they see a lot in it that the like very much. I know there is a lot in it for sure.

It is definitely a high energy painting. I feel like it's going to be part of a series of Chakra paintings. Chakra's are energy centers that govern the body. They are located along the spine and since they are energy "wheels" they are not physically seen.

This painting represents the 1st Chakra - the root or base chakra. It's location is at the base of the spine and governs the physical dimension by helping to keep you grounded and feeling safe and secure. It also is the center for that "fight or flight" feeling and if it's balanced properly the grounding, safe, secure feeling overcome you feeling of fight or flight fear. It vibrates as your adrenal glands and governs the kidneys and spinal column since the spine is your body's grounding, secure element to which it connects. It's major color is Red.
