The Mexican Girl - Finding the Balance.

It is Sunday,---- for me the day of rest ! Always I strive to be that 'laid-back'type, but although I may seem cool on the outside, my inside is invariably twisted onto knots. You know the feeling ?--- So on Sunday I really try to relax.

'The Mexican Girl' is a painting born out of the deep need I have to express that side of me drawn towards stillness. We live in a World that increasingly seems dominated by pressure and an accelerated pace, driving one into a hyper-active state of confusion, stress and exhaustion. No gentle rhythm, no real equilibrium, no time for that peaceful moment of quiet reflection.

Surely we are losing something precious! How we need that simple moment to feel grounded, centred, to look deeply into our heart and soul and find our true self. Surely it is from here that real enlightenment comes, inspiring one with a sense of purpose and motivation that is truly meaningful. It is as if in the depth of the stillness and silence we hear clearly. Maybe this is not always in line with what our rational consciousness is telling us, but I believe it to be a more clarified perception, guiding us authentically towards our fulfillment and peace.

I have tried to capture this in my painting,--this ability to be still for a while, look deeply into the soul, into God's soul and experience a sense of peace. I don't often succeed, I rarely find it easy, but I keep on trying--- life is certainly richer when I catch a glimpse.
