SunBlossom Art
I am Jane Spaulding, A semi-retired art teacher, with an M.A. in art education. I’ve taught art K-12 as well as pre-school and adults. I’ve been drawing, painting, making art and expressing myself artistically all my life. Creative expression is vital to me every day in endless forms. Deeply connected to my soul, it reveals truth, beauty and joy.
Making a self portrait is very much like meditating. Both require a long time of sitting, barely moving, calm breathing and concentration. In art you coordinate your eyes, your hand with a subject - in this case I used a mirror. I painted this in oil in my Senior year at Morningside College. It is rather thin and could have more paint and development. I was just 22 years old and I had a lot of life to live, so it was a good beginning with more painting to come in due time.
I was raised as a Methodist, attended Morningside College, a Methodist college in Iowa and began meditating in 1970. I am basically a metaphysical Christian with training in Mark-Age, Inc. which is a spiritual informational group. It teaches all of us to prepare for the Second Coming of the Christ/Light Body of all people and the Second Coming of the leader of Earth, Sananda, whose last incarnation was Christ Jesus of Nazareth.
This Journey led to what I do as a spiritually expressive artist. Christ Jesus said, basically, “when I am lifted up, I draw all others unto me.” Isn’t that what teachers do, in fact, what good leaders do in many walks of life? Has someone lifted you? Have you taught or exampled good for others? You probably have and you have also been helped, loved and lifted by others on your own journey through life.
The main idea of SunBlossom Art is to find, see and express peace, love and happiness through the practice of spiritual art lessons. The purpose of this website is to help the visitors here to learn how I do this so each one can do for themselves what is best for themselves. My goals are to love, to understand, to be guided, to forgive, to grow, to heal, to find peace of mind and heart and be happy. How can a beginner or anyone do this? Each one of us is unique and will found their own true way. Art is one way to see it, express it creatively in words and images and then be love in action. Using our twelve spiritual powers which I share here serves our health as well as all our needs. Step by step, we birth our Light Body and anchor it in the Earth.
The steps I take as I’ve tested myself with lots of art experiences to satisfy my soul are these:
1- Meditate/Pray/Sit in “The Silence”
2- Affirm
3- See/Visualize/Imagine
4- Co-create art with Spirit
5-Enjoy.
This basic formula is how my lessons are given in this website. The art lessons will show a way to see it and do it. The joy is worthwhile and permanent, while art is eternally manifesting, changing and healing humanity.
