HIGHLY ELEVATED SOUL
Highly Elevated Soul
“THE HIGHLY ELEVATED SOUL”
She had been all things to all people. She had
been a mother, a sister, a daughter and a wife.
now she had to find out who she really was to
herself.
The search took her to the sacred gardens, to
the forests, to the city. She finally returned
to the river, where she had been many times
before and through years of listening, she
heard the cries of the masses in the sometimes
roaring waters, and they chanted.....................
........................... “We are all one.”

Here is another original in the nature series in which I have added dried roses from my garden. I have used encaustic wax to preserve them. I painted her face with acrylics. She seems to generate the look of one who had searched life and finally found herself. The dimensions are 8”x w x 10”h with a 1 ½ “ cradle for easier hanging.
Highly Elevated Soul can be viewed and purchased from Etsy through Paypal, or you can contact me through my
e-mail I take all the major credit cards or a check.
Hope you like her. She is one of my favorites.
Wow! The dimension and beauty of this piece is unbelievable. I have read on several blogs that the 3/4 view is the hardest to draw, but you don't seem to have a bit of trouble making it perfect and so anatomically correct.
ReplyDeleteI have been fighting with blogger for days, trying to post to your blog. I finally gave up and came back today, hoping against hope that I could finally post a comment on this gorgeous "elevated soul."
She is so beautifull!!!!
ReplyDeleteI wonder how many women get caught up in being someone's wife, daughter, mother, sister, friend, etc. to the point where we loose ourselves. This is a stunning and thought provoking piece, Cheryl! Hugs, Terri xoxo
