I want to back up a bit to my previous series, Answers from the Universe. It may give you a better idea of where the current series came from.
This painting of the red passion flower was the result of my fascination with passion flowers. They look so unearthly. The red variety scream of desire, something everyone wants, right? Thus, the hands are depicting "need," and "want," and "more."
My subject matter focus has always been a psychological one. I summon my trance-like state to search for my emotional attachment to the subject matter as I begin the painting.
