Artist's Commentary:
My first 2022 painting titled 'The Lightness of Being' indicates a change in my approach to the mixed media painting process I developed beginning early 2019. Like many of my earlier mixed medium paintings, I used handmade papers for the background to create a grid-like pattern. And as usual, I sanded between layers of paper and added subtle layers of paint between the layers. But, what is different about this one, is that I applied other smaller shapes of various colors of paper to define my subject. By adding more layers and combining the mediums I work with, I can add more intrigue and mystery to the process and work. Also, I added even more layers to my collage papers to obscure lines that define the form and soften the lines that form the horse. Finally, to enhance the airy and graceful shape of the horse, I chose cheerful, light, spring-like colors and transparent papers for the final layers. My ultimate goal is that this painting is that it refers to life's capacity to renew itself. A quote from Henry Blake comes to mind, 'Every day has a moment of eternity trying to reach you.'"

More are flying in, others are flying out. The woman has no legs - in fact, upon closer inspection, she consists of only head, hair, arms and hands - the butterflies have flown in to form the shape of her body - but in some places, you can see right through to the water or sky. Surely, this must be a dream. And perhaps, it is the dream of the woman depicted in the painting. That is for the viewer to decide." About the Artist: Tom Blood...Category
