Not the very best photo, but I have completed my latest painting in my Body Language series. "Spinning In The Wind" is done in oils. Although the figure is spinning, it is a sort-of a controlled spin in the way that dancers do. I want to represent that: yes, even when we feel out of control, there may be some aspects of our lives that we can hang on to. Is the figure freeing themselves from the pole or hanging on? Are the threads that are unraveling around their head creating a halo or a cage? I wanted movement, but still a feel of quiet. The contrasts represent the pull of many things in our lives, sometimes in different directions. Are we stopping the spin? Or making things spin faster?
