This is finally a portrait of a most beautiful person... my daughter Cecilia. Like all portraitists I hope to catch the essence of one person and by extension of all people... of all young women at the moment they enter into their true selves. My therapist Robert Pogue and his mentor Carl Jung feel that we have our true selves and our blinded everyday selves. Our one quest in this life of labyrinths is to follow the Ariadne thread and re-discover who we really are and who we have really been all along. The centre of this painting is the red bathing suit... the only red in the entire painting. At that moment of entry into the cold water the diver becomes alive...maybe for the first time... maybe forever. So the plunge is the plunge into awakening. The cold gold water is the world of evermore... the world of God's dream... this CREATION that is unfolding as I type this note. My daughter's eyes are wide open in the underwater. Her spirit guides are present. She is ready to awaken. She is finally born. Born to life. Born to death. The evermore is here. The creation is so fantastically beautiful. It is Love. Time to be happy my brothers and sisters. You and I are alive!!!!
