Which Of The 7 C's Does This Make You Feel?

Self Authenticity by Deb Chaney (9” x 12”)

About this painting

This painting is very much about the practice of not only being our authentic selves, but completely loving ourselves the way we are. It’s an ongoing practice, to be experienced moment by moment.

The gold mica flakes in this painting represent the gold deep within–that is your authentic self.

The circle in the top left hand corner represents how we repeat patterns, continuing to learn over and over again. This is described in detail in Buddhism quite often.

The transparent watery turquoise rivers embody the flow of energy from your authentic self towards you speaking your truth.

According to Richard Swartz, in his book No Bad Parts, when we’re in our authentic self, we embody these core elements:

  • Curiosity

  • Compassion

  • Confidence

  • Creativity

  • Connectedness

  • Courage

  • Calmness

While sharing this information with a friend, I thought to myself:

When I am feeling these emotions listed that tell me I’m in my authentic self, this would be a good time to make important decisions.

Little Gems Series

This original abstract painting is part of my Little Gems Series. I use these paintings as small studies to both explore new ideas and practice old ones. Similar to the way musicians do vocal exercises or practice their scales, this is a painter’s practice so-to-speak.

Every Little Gem is infused with the joy, love and passion that I feel in the studio and that energy is imbued into the painting–my gift to you!
