American Rubies! :)

As I close my eyes and drift away to a land where there is love, health, peace, and blessings. I wanted to take the time to think and reflect. 

     My children know that mama's hands always go numb at the sight of blood. This numbness reaction is not something new for me, but was derived from a childhood experience, as I stepped on glass. It caused injury to my left foot. Ever since then my left hand goes numb at the sight of blood. The numbness continues as I write. It is important to say that this reaction is automatic, it just happens. 

     Blood was also something that I tried to convey in my newest art work that I am almost finished creating, which I have named American Rubies. After a section of the painting was complete, I was grateful for what I created, as the the paint spoke about the blood. I felt satisfied. Viewers won't probably note this, they will guess what I was trying to convey, but this is the beauty of art, that deep personal connection to the self, to be kept private. 

     This is also why I was especially pleased to see the dress worn by actress Blake Lively, at the Met Gala, 2018. Although all the costumes for the Heavenly Bodies theme were absolutely gorgeously delicious, this one spoke to me. It was healing in a sense to reveal that red is the color of blood. We see this color when we are injured, but red is also beautiful, it can be beautiful. The red blood is what keeps us alive, it keeps our heart beating. The numbness vanished, and for this I am grateful.

Just as we create art, bodies, costumes, and designs are also art works that deserve to be appreciated. My thoughts to share with love & kindness! :) 

Notes: These thoughts were originally hand-written on May 9th, 2018. While I was writing my hand once again became numb, but it didn't stop me from writing, a little bit slower, I kept on writing with my right hand
