Seasons of Influence; Spring

Seasons of Influence
Seasons of Influence; Spring by Snow Mack 2014-2016 oils on canvas 20" x 20"
Seasons of Influence; Spring is the first of four self portraits.  Each piece will bring together multiple influences and elements of my life.  This first completed piece includes my earliest icons. Top left, Petula Clark's song "Downtown" was one of my earliest favorite songs.  Top right, Clark is followed by Nancy Sinatra's song, "These Boots Are Made for Walkn".  Bottom left, an icon of the '60's, Twiggy was THE fashion model of the times.  Bottom right, from the live action show, Batman, that looked like a comic book come to life, Catwoman played by Julie Newmar was so mysterious and sexy.  

The Yoga Series, below, was originally inspired by my Goddess studies and interest in symbology. The Yoga series informs the Season of Influence series. Conceived in 2008, I combined pencil drawings of women in Yoga poses with healing flowers, my own digital landscape photography and the Stupa.  Each flower speaks to varying aspects of soul, healing, spirtiuality and sensuality. Each part of the Stupa represents different elements and stages of consciousness.
