Cosmic Alignment
Dear Friends,
What if being in a state of joy, excitement, and fulfillment is our natural state of being?
What if the only reason we suffer, struggle, and can feel powerless at times, is that we are going through the evolutionary growing pains of learning to use our creative power in ways we prefer, instead in ways we do not prefer.
Do you believe that your life is the out-picturing of your consciousness?
Do you think it is possible to bring yourself into a state of such internal alignment and integrity that every day can be an ecstatic experience?
Maybe I’m crazy… but I do.
And I think there are a lot of us out there that think that way too.
I am choosing to be an artist because I believe that we are not meant to suffer.
I believe we are here to live a dream… our dream.
I believe we are here to learn how to create a life of fulfillment and joy.
I believe that each and every day we participate in creation: every thought we have, emotion we feel, and action we take shapes us, our circumstances, our family, and ultimately the world around us.
We absolutely can make ourselves into radiant, expressive, harmonious and fulfilled beings, and we absolutely can make this world into the kind of planet that we want to hand down to the next generation.
You may not feel powerful.
It seems like right now, we are confronting our own power and our capacity to influence the world in the direction that we think is right.
I think it’s only natural to think: “What can I do?” in the world today.
“Where do I start?… What can I possibly do?”
Personally, I believe that we can start with ourselves.
And in some ways, that is what my latest painting is all about.
“Cosmic Alignment” 2024
32 x 44 in. Oil on Herringbone Linen
Please see the Available Originals page for current availability.
This new vision: “Cosmic Alignment” portrays a human being in their natural state.
At peace within themself
In conscious awareness of their creativity and power
In integrity and alignment with the cosmos
Experiencing clarity of mind, and the freedom that clarity brings
For me it is a vision of our potential. Perhaps not our experience every moment of every day, but absolutely an ideal to strive for.
I’m curious… what do you see?
I love that for me, each painting takes on layers of meaning as I work on it.
But the best part about artwork is that it is an open vision, a symbol, within which we see ourselves. Beyond the artists intent is the most precious thing… our unique individual experience and interpretation of the work.
I’d love to know what you think. Feel free to let me know how this latest painting strikes you, and what you see in it.
Sincerely,
Dustin Neece
