Rock-n-Soul
Just in time for Halloween-- no wait St. Valentine's Day.
"That Old Black Magic Called Love"
Oil on 24x30 canvas
Rock-n-Soul Angels
As with most of my pieces, this one is filled with symbolism. Of course this was inspired by the Johnny Mercer tune which was immortalized by vocal greats like Sinatra and Fitzgerald.
Because of the implications of the lyrics, "Black Magic". I wanted to contrast this connotation with an innocent figure as opposed to something more sinister.
I stenciled authentic lace on the bodice of her dress and stenciled her sleeves with netting.
The Moon symbolizes passion as well as the tidal push and pull between fear and love. Some believe the opposite of love is hate or indifference. The biggest opponent against love is FEAR. When the rare jewel of unconditional love presents itself, fear will take over if the soul is not aligned to receive it. Fear that is indescribable and crippling with pain.
Her wings represent her balanced soul. One wing is stretched reaching outward toward the unknown and one wing is laxed in peace. Kind of like spiritual surrender--believe and let go.
Her heart shaped glass jar represents love and the fragilty of being human (the ego-vulnerability-freewill).
Perhaps she will have a crimson toast at midnight with her beloved.
The black sky represents the magic and uncertainty of love and fate.
Unlearn all that has been learned to defend against love. No more outdated response patterns, fear, limited beliefs, but especially the illusion of perceived injury--Only love is real.
True love, to me, is wanting a person to develop inner peace and happiness in whatever that form may take or whatever path that may lead and not having a preconceived notion of what that might be for someone else or even for oneself."
Trust.
