Painting titled Certainty (Ayin Resh Yud – Beyond the Mind). Ethereal layers of pale blue, lavender, pink and luminous green surround a constellation of brightly coloured marks, sparks of awareness scattered throughout the painting. A field of radiant yellow light erupts in the upper right, echoing the yellow marks that shimmer across the canvas like moments of inspiration. Light gathers and dissolves across the surface, creating a sense of infinite openness. A meditation on the certainty that exists beyond thought.

First layer of Certainty (Ayin Resh Yud), pale and deep blue washes blending into cloud-like forms.

The first layer of ineffable peace.

“I was so in the energy of certainty, so close to the affinity of form, that I couldn't feel where I wasn't, to feel where I was."

​– Susan Smith

A friend sat behind me as certainty landed on the canvas.

​

"This must feel so amazing."

​She could feel it from the outside. Watch it expand.

I was inside it. I could feel nothing—only the impulse to act. Only the next brushstroke.

​

Beyond the mind, doubt has nowhere left to stand.
