Oneness is Truth

Beginning in 2011 I have created a series of works dedicated to the "spiritual" truth that all things are one thing.  It is a concept drawn from the meditative experience of Onesss is the only truth, all that is observable is one energy manifested in an infinte multiplicity of form.

All of the paintings created have had all elements, such as edges, which would create the illusion of seperation either diminished or removed.
Those who are locked into the illusion of the physical describe the pieces as "misty or foggy".  This is inaccurate.  These paintings do not depict a physical phenomenon, rather they express a Spiritual reality.

I do not paint light falling on things.....I paint the Light that Became Things.
