Land of the Summer Stars

I painted this 'vampire goddess' as I call her when I was feeling a bit low and overlooked, but heck, it's Winter; the season of Death and that's okay and even expected. I also turned to Robert Graves' book The White Goddess for the words within this painting and to Starhawk's book Dreaming the Dark. I'll be attending Starhawk's Winter Solstice Ritual in Los Angeles on Saturday and I'm sooo looking forward to it! I do love Winter (especially winter in Southern California!) which isn't really winter (I'm from Ontario, Canada; real winter!) but it does get cold, the trees do change color (a few of them) and I can sense the stillness and the darkness within plus the days are much shorter and I've started putting up my holiday decorations. Anyway, long story short; this 'vampire goddess' painting should help you 'get in the mood' for Winter and the Solstice where we once again cheer on the light during the longest night of the year.

Spirit Birds

I'm hearing the words 'Great Spirit' a lot these days as I randomly choose words from my books to collage into my Lefty paintings. I'm also very conscious of not littering the blogosphere with junk; mindless drivel, pap, chatter. Pared down simplicity rules my words and my art these days. I constantly question whether I'm just talking for the sake of talking or if I actually have something to say. Perhaps a bit of both right now ;)

So, I turn back to Return of the Bird Tribes (today's book) to see what else Ken Carey, the author has to say about "Great Spirit" and randomly choose this:

Even in the worst of tempests and storms -- storms that have crashed armadas, sunk galleons and seen angry warriors perish beneath their fury -- ever the birds have floated undisturbed, above the wreckage, above the turbulence, above the waves, gentle, serene.

That describes to a T how I feel when I sit down to paint my Leftys.  Especially in today's crazy world we need that feeling of gentle serenity. I do hope these Lefty paintings inspire that in you too. Blessed Be.

Slow down and smell the spiritual theme

It's time to slow down and smell the spiritual theme. Once again I turned to one of the four Sylvia Browne books I had grabbed from my birth mom's deathbed. These were books she had turned to in the last months of her life, and I asked the questions: "What is the truth? What truth is this Lefty painting sharing with me today?" Then I closed my eyes and opened up Sylvia's book Soul's Perfection and out popped the words "A spiritual theme." This helped me a lot at that very moment especially after reading this part:

A spiritual theme means that you will search for spirituality in everything you do...'even though it seems crazy, I'm going to use the silver and white lights. I'm going to use mirrors and encase myself in gold'...That's one of the hardest things to know: when it's time to move on.

My birth mom moved on in May of this year but we  still 'communicate' all the time. Blessed Be.
