“Bloodline” | Painting My Grief: The Story & The Process

A year ago, I began the preliminary sketch of my second oil painting “Bloodline,” while sitting the BAU Gallery during my show “Without Fear and Full of Love,” an autobiographical story of domestic violence and my journey into healing told through a series of self-portraits and poetry.
Connected to an intimate poem about grieving, I drew in the influences of Dia de los Muertos. The sadness of miscarriage bleeds from womb to heart, turning your life upside down. The bees were my spiritual ally, not only in my painting, but in real life.

“Honey bees cling to me, abandoning their hive and their queen. I wondered why until I saw your soul behind the wings. A lifetime to fill until you come back to me.”
~Meghan Spiro
Details on my painting process are documented below.
My Process



I took 20 years off from painting. Previously I focused on watercolor and acrylic, and only had dabbled in oils. So when I was ready to try oil painting, I consulted my partner Russ Ritell, who gave me some simple advice: The more detailed the drawing, the more successful the painting. So that’s exactly what I do. In this painting, my second, I decided to freehand the entire drawing, rather than using a grid system which I had previously done with my first painting. I started with the face, then outlines to the hand, then the flowers and body above. After finishing the illustration, I did a underpainting using burnt umber and raw umber. Then I started the painting.


This is the first coat.

Our history is in our food; it embeds in our DNA. Gaia nourishes us with her abundance, and in turn we incubate her with our decay. Compost is our offering, letting our spoils be the fuel for the next harvest season. More than ever, Gaia is calling us back to balance, so please compost, pick up trash in nature, carry-in/carry-out, recycle, conserve energy. We are the stewards of nature. Earth Day Every Day.
Women for Women, Illustration & Poem of a New Painting


Women for women
Above all conditions
Dissolving competition
Weaving solidarity
Honesty creating intimacy
Intimacy creating trust
No man between us
No doubt deceiving us
Of our grace and strength
And compassion in sync
With the beat of the earth
And the swells of the waves
I give praise to my sistars
Who illuminate
The black waters of humanity
The tears of agony
That awaken the collective
To the threads all connected
So we may move in unison
Back to love

Womb to World Poetry by Meghan Spiro
a series beginning…

paradise on fire
bleeding hearts
for the wounds that cling
violent contractions
the blood that shifts paradigms
womb to world
struggling to breath
then we arrive
we voice our first cry
hearts open
hearts bleeding
hearts needing
the mother
traumas
travel through
to the next generation
until we welcome the revelations
the revolutionary path
begins within
reactionary
arrested
listen
for the blessed
hearts bleed in solidarity
transforming collectively
voicing our cries
with intelligent eyes
ending ancestral rhythms
unlearning the old conditions
reckoning the longing for the safety of the womb
every heartbeat
an act of love
bloody
breathless
until we cry
on the other side
~by Meghan Spiro
The womb
where we ruminate
ancestral aches wake
Sit in the silence
Cry to the violence
Darkness consuming
Renew
To the blood
That soaks these sheets
To the hateful hands
To the mothers who birth new
Tip the scales
The scales…
inescapable
Unbreakable
prisms
cast projections
in all expressions
Horrifying
inspiring
Evolutionary spirals churning
One blood
One soul
One love
~by Meghan Spiro

Amongst the tangled roots
Every cycle, a prayer to release a knot
Karma
