Rose Marie Mercado – a Painter’s Perspective 

In the cosmic universe…

Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter align in a rare triple conjunction 29 May to 08 June 2026, activating especially creative impetus and smooth communication.

My natal alignment includes Venus and Jupiter dancing in conjunction while Mercury amiably favors my creative endeavors.  

I am compelled to surrender to the summons, to succumb to the beckon to share. 

Please enjoy the brief tour plucked from my studio archives. These paintings are among the selections juried over the years into exhibitions.

The Artist’s Statement with a Painter’s Perspective 

It is with the delight of whimsy that my paintings are produced. 

Though there may be a wide spectrum of what painting is, 

what painting can be, 

what painting ought to be

When I paint 

the rhythms of music and poetry 

translate into rhythms of color and movement on the paper. 

When I paint 

my heart becomes quiet to hear the music amongst trees and flowers in the garden. 

When I paint

the voices of the world are soft-spoken, happy, and healthy echoes.  

When I paint

my secrets are empty of hidden messages.

When I paint 

it isto honor spirituality beckoning from deep within the ethereal soul. 

When I paint                                                   

sensuous desires are reconciled.                   

When I paint                                                 

it is to smile, laugh, and be merry.                   

When I paint 

it is simply to be me. 

When I paint 

it is with the delight of knowing that Now is where can be ought to be.
