This is a 15" by 30" mixed media piece depicting the exhale of breath during yoga. This is not the quiet surrender of an ordinary exhale but the stoking of the fires within... kapalabhati. This type of exhale creates an energizing light from within. This painting contains some beautiful yarns and an old necklace. The metallic paint is difficult to capture in a photograph; it has several golds and some bronze highlights.
