Earth Angels - A Wall Sculpture for the Planet

"Earth Angels" by Primal Painter

This is the first in a series of wall sculptures I plan on doing over the next month.  This is  an experiment where I'm incorporating my energy art prints into dimensional art.  I actually had a different one in mind for the first piece, but I've been hearing so much about volcanoes, tornadoes, fires, and crazy wild storms that I decided to do an Earth Angel protection piece.

I'll be going back to my usual "in your face" color schemes next, but this one is about the planet, and the planet makes me think of greens and earthtones.  The energy art print I used in this piece is called "Mother Earth"

(Whoa, do you think I used enough links? lol)

I got a wild hair the other day and decided to google  "Primal Painter".   There were quite a few strange sites where I got mentioned, many seemed like they were overseas.  Did you know that your comments on blogs show up in google searches?  Tweets?  Wow,  I don't know about this internet stuff,  I'm feeling kind of exposed.  

How weird is this?  This website has my words from a listing on Etsy  attached to one of their own images.  They changed a few of the words (which I highlighted) so it wasn't an exact knockoff.   They even put some of my  images (excuse me, effigies)  on this page, too, without any links to me or my shop.   I think they pulled them off my wordpress blog. 

One of those prints hasn't even been listed.  I feel a little violated I have to admit.  I guess I could change my attitude to "Wow, they like me, they really like me!"  I dunno, it's just weird.  I emailed the owner of the website but got no response of course.  Since then, the print of the girl has been taken down and there are three of "The Violet Flame", so I don't know what the heck is going on.   All I know is "Ewwwwwwwwwww"!!

I think maybe I need  to at least protect my images.  I don't know if there's anything that can be done about words, especially when they change a few here and there.  I guess I need to put a watermark on my images so they aren't so easy to steal.  I don't know how to do that, so I guess I'll add that to my overwhelmingly long list of computer related chores.  

Here's the questionable website.  The image my words were attached to were of some statues in Japan.

“Healing Energy” by Primal Painter 

Abstract Healing Energy Art Photography Print

I created this abstract energy art print in March 2011  in response to the disaster in Japan.

This abstract art print is inspired by my wall sculpture entitled “Clearing the Chaos“.    Through a very intuitive procedure that reflects a distinct flow of energy, I created this piece of abstract art.

From beginning to end, I focalized on infusing the effigy with Reiki healing energy  in the form of colors, light and patterns. I believe that anyone could gain from the energy of this print.  Those who are sensible to energy might feel it in the form of vibrations, tingling, or plainly a lift in mood or sentiment of well being.

____________________________________________________________________

Dimensions: 8″ x 10″, could be hung vertically or horizontally. The effigy extends all the way to the edges of the paper

Colors: Red Violet, Reds, Pinks, Oranges, Yellows, some Purple, some Blues

Paper: Kodak Professional Endura Metallic Paper

I’ll sign, date, and title it on the back.

The metallic paper it’s printed on is very  glossy, pearlescent, and has a  shimmery glow with deep vibrant colors. I had it printed at a professional photo lab.

I plan on incorporating these new  energy art prints into three dimensional wall sculptures, original paintings and also into pendants, brooches, mini wall hangings and magnets.

To see other modern abstract art, energy art, wall sculptures and pendants, go to my Etsy Shop or my Artfire Studio.

And how strange that these images are under a description for candle sconces!  If that's not bad enough, underneath my photos were bad reviews.....of candle sconces!!!! Gah!!

I'm going to ignore it all for a while.  Once again, the computer seems, I don't know, Eeevilllll!  The studio is a much nicer place!

Have a super fun weekend!

"Forgiveness"- The Heart Chakra

"Forgiveness" by Primal Painter

Finally I finished my heart chakra painting entitled "Forgiveness".  I'm no Speedy Gonzales, that's for sure, but I'm glad it's done.  The timing has to be right for clearing and healing, so I just have to be patient and trust the process.  

I had a hard time with the photos because the center is a bright pearl white that dominates the camera exposure. If I expose it so the center is white, the rest of the colors are off.  I may need to work on the editing some more.  I swear, it seems like there are times when I spend as much time on the photography, photo editing, and descriptions as I do on the creation of the piece itself.  I don't enjoy all of that technical crapola, it's too much like work!  I only like doing the fun stuff...is that wrong? lol

I did a couple of necklaces, too, but I'm starting to think that I don't want to focus much on those anymore, although  I've sold two.  The photography and the editing for those are really time consuming and the final price just doesn't justify the amount of work.  

Pretty, though.. The metallic paper used for the print really catches the light, but again, super hard to photograph!  This one is smaller in diameter than my other pendants, I like it better smaller and the chains are cool but a pain in the ass when I CAN'T SEE!!! Gah!  When will I just get over it and get glasses?  NEVER!!!!!!  (Geeze, who was that yelling in a rebelliously childish way. Was that me? lol)

I'm starting to get back to where I started, but with a twist.....three dimensional wall sculptures but using my energy art prints as the focal point.  I might even use the necklace concept and incorporate those shapes into the wall sculpture rather than using them just as necklaces. 

I love making the energy art prints, though, I mean really LOVE it, so I won't stop doing those. So...much...fun!!!  As with everything else in my world, though, I have to be in the right zone to do them or it becomes frustrating. 

It's actually fairly easy to see when the timing is right for just about any endeavor.  Does it make me go "Wheeeee!" or does it make me go "ugggggghhhhhhh".  Pretty simple really.  The trick is paying enough attention to recognize the energy levels and emotional/physical responses and having the self discipline to stop and do something else.  I'm getting better but I still have a rebellious streak that kicks my ass. I used to get a thrilling buzz when I was rebellious, now about half the time it's more like a jarring, malfunctioning "gonna burst into flames" ooogley kind of feeling. I'm growing up, oh noooooooo!

The heart chakra issues were intense, to say the least.   I did several energy art prints to help me get through it, though.  I believe  working on the prints really made the process easier than the previous chakra paintings where I got blindsided with hardcore issues and didn't utilize any extra tools.  Those prints, I tell ya, there's something in those prints......

Well I'm out to the studio today.  I got poison ivy between my fingers and it's slowly starting to pop up in all kinds of unfortunate places on my body.  I don't even know where in my yard I picked it up, so I could get into it again!  Gah! Nothing's worse than poison ivy between your fingers! (well, maybe there are a couple of other places that are worse, but I won't get into that...)

Have an awesome day!
