Stefan Duncan's Blog

Aisha Nadra Does this one come with any back story? I’d be interested to hear it. 6 minutes ago ·. Stefan Duncan The feelings of a child when the parents are fighting. Tree on the left, the male has pretty much made it's mind to leave. The mother, on the right, V shaped, is neutral because of hurt. The child sees the Light and has unconditional love...the branch is still connected to the Light and had not been broken from it my life's earthly disappointments. 2 minutes ago · Stefan Duncan Thanks for asking, Aisha. I usually don't come out and say what it means especially at first just wanting to see the viewers' reactions and if they pick up what I was trying to express or how they relate to it based off their personal experiences. 2 seconds ago ·

Woke up last night freezing, realizing I left the window open. Go to dentist today and teach class at Cheap Joes tonight. My next painting is inspired from the movie "What Dreams May Come." I have received several requests to do this one because of the beautiful tree.

Lois Chazen Stefan-I love what looks like a ' Ray of Crystal' streaming to HER TREE. This painting depicts 'Little Tree' in Dru's book, 'Grandfathers Dream'. The Spirit of transformation between Mother Earth and Human Spirit- capturing the essence "The Spirit of transformation between Mother Earth and Human Spirit." In a way I guess that is what I have been trying to do with my art, uniting human and nature spirit together, thining the veil between the two... transcendence of human spirit with Mother Earth Spirit. Like being strands of musical notes or melodies the other can not hear unless you really open yourself up and listen....and then you discover that everything has a musical phrase and it's all interweaved into this massive all encomposing universal symphonic movement. Lois Chazen Now...that is music to my ears! Out of body Souls only need the encomposing symphonic movement and vibration throughout the dimensions and we are all connect...

Oh, I will. I decided I am going to doing another series called "Ascension" because I do not think I created one painting for that exhibited series that expressed what I was trying to do. I'll do a painting of this in the series, then I am going to push myself past my limit what I want to create: beautiful figures ascending in exaltation into Heaven. I want Ascension to be my most sacred series. I did not post one painting from the first "Ascension" series because there wasn't a single one that reached the height of what I wanted to express in it. But, with this new revision of "Ascension" I will. I imagine I will be starting on this around March after I return from an island I hope to spend a couple of weeks. A truly successful painting to me is one that inspires "awe" from the viewer. I want paintings that demands the viewer's attention and gives them the impression that the painting was Divinely inspired. I wish I had the talen...

Today going to finish up Lois's painting and need to work very hard and long on new paintings that have the "awe" affect. No plans for tonight just staying home in my apartment. Met with Jack Grossman with my marketing person Debra Estrada. I have to do an American Heart Ball painting and a painting of Eagle's Nest mountain for Jack.

Though alienated, so distant from others, roots uprooted upon a world that seems so cold and frozen, the crown is radiant and blazing at the height of its glory, filled with such great bounty to give....but is it like the tree that falls in... the woods and no one hears? Or a Van Gogh whose life and works remained undiscovered? Does having true love or acceptence in the world really matter at all compared to what our faith hopes to believe is the Glory of God? Should we grieve and fret and scorn a world or even God for our hurts, our broken hearts, our disappointments or fate we deemed is jinxed and daggered with attempted loves with others? Or, through the chaotic cacophony of life, if we deafen ourselves to it, can you hear the sweet choir of angels sing of unconditional love and acceptence to our everlasting souls, where a greater glory awaits us? Is this just a folly, a dream or belief to aspirn the agony our fragile heart's expereinces and endures? Are we glorious blooming tre...
