After doing "traditional" type paintings in February
I felt the strong desire and need to get back to my Roots.
The longing to paint something from my own
creative visions.
I've been playing with this piece in my sketchbook
and it kept calling to me,
Paint me, Paint me.
So I did.
I originally thought of it to be not only a sensual piece
but also a very feminine piece.
Then after it was painted I realized there was a
definite combination of Both
male and female qualities in this painting.
However, for me, there is definitely
a female emerging.
I also see myself playing with the theme more
in the future and seeing
where it takes me.

I consider this "entity" to be of the JellyFish realm

however, 

I am see it both

floating in Outer Space 

as well as

floating in the Deep Sea. 

I also see the JellyFish 

as both

Embracing itself 

and 

Unraveling it's tendrils

in search of it's next

Tumbling Series, A Closer Look

Tumbling 1 from the Tumbling Series of 4

Technically, Tumbling 1 is actually the last of the 4 that I painted.  If you compare the bodies of the 4 this one has a less "speckled" effect.  I am not sure why?  But somewhere deep inside the muse just guides me intuitively and that's the way it appears on the canvas.  I can never paint something the same way twice which is fine as each "jellyfish" is different and has it's own unique personality.  
Yes, I do refer to them as jellyfish though they started out as a vision in my head and have morphed over time.  I actually see them to reside both in the Ocean and Deep Space.  Though you are welcome to see them as something else and somewhere else. 

You may ask, why did I name this one number 1?  To me, it just feels like it's the One that is starting the tumbling and goes head over heels from there.  What do you think?
