Meet My Newest Earthangels , Abeni and Adesina, from Africa
I have been wanting to paint these sweet angels for a very long time but first I had to be ready for the energy to come in. These angels represent spirit's gentle calling that is reminding us that the time has come for us to awaken. We are ONE! We can no longer stay in the "black and white" mentality of duality and expect to survive. We must remember that whatever affects our neighbors affects us. Africa is the symbol for the Earth's lungs and without her our planet cannot breathe. We are killing her by our indifference and lack of compassion to the destruction that is taking place. She needs our prayers, love and devotion, NOW. Each one of us must open our eyes and see what is going on, for we can no longer stay in denial and duality. We must move to ONENESS and NOW is the time.
Abeni's name means..."We asked for her, and look, we got her! She represents our willingness to call on spirit to help us wake up and start sending love and prayers to Africa.
I have included the artistic process I went through to birth these two angels. I used paper collage to gift the canvas texture and for the first coat I used black acrylic paint. I made the frame on the canvas using tile grout with acrylic paint to give it a look of mud and I added pieces of bamboo to give it dimension. The painting consist of semi-hard pastels and acrylic paint.
Your painting is so beautiful Charlotte! You captured the spirit of Africa with your angels and wildlife perfectly! love, Lori
