Mother Moon - Bringing Light and Love to the Universe

The Universe was once a cold dark and lonely place, difficult for the traveler to migrate. One had to rely on their intuition and the occasional star as a navigation point in order to find their way. Sometimes this worked well, but a lot of the time it simply produced frustrated travelers who would eventually give up on their quest. That is, until Selena...

Selena was a mother, in every fiber of her being. Nurturing was as natural to her as breathing. She wanted to not only comfort everyone who was wandering in the dark, but to help guide them. Everyone had their own path though, and she surely couldn't tell them all where they needed to go. After contemplating on how she could help she gained an understanding that if she just allowed her self to shine, her own illumination could be enough to offer the truest of guidance, inspiring others to do the same.

And so, the mother that she was gave birth to many moons....moons that filled the Universe. Each moon shining brightly like a carefully placed nightlight. All the children of the universe, young and old, came to find comfort on those cold dark nights when they would look upon the moon and know they were home.

Dona Nobis Pacem - Grant Us Peace

My entire adult life has been spent seeking, sharing, and Being Peace. I strive to surround myself with people who live their lives in a peaceful way, and try to inspire those who struggle to obtain it. When I was young, I was blessed to grow up in an area of Upstate NY that was rich in cultural diversity. "Normal" to me was being immersed in that melting pot that was defined by so very many cultures and religions. My memories are filled with weekend events - celebrations, dinners, and dances held at different cultural community centers and churches. Everyone was welcome, and everyone would partake. This place had been a destination for many immigrants years back due to the opportunities for work. I remember my grandparents telling me about the old shoe and cigar factories, which were popular places for jobs. As the area grew, more and more industry came. Families were proud and grateful to have life long jobs that allowed them to take care of their families. There ...

The Goddess of Autumn - Number 8 in the 30 Goddesses in 30 Days Series

My natural instincts guided me to the creation of the Goddess who represents my favorite time of year, Autumn. This magical space in time is symbolic to me of Earthiness with a Splash of color - it is the time when the air has a little nip to it and we bring out our sweaters and scarves, large harvests are gathered from the Earth, and the leaves begin to turn those brilliant colors reminiscent of paint on a palette. In Greek mythology the seasons are represented by a triad of deities called a Horae. The "withering" time of Autumn and Winter are watched over by "Carpo". Carpo was specifically in charge of the ripening of the harvest and Autumn, and was joined by "Thallo" and "Auxo" who represented Spring and Summer. The Horae was responsible for time and the seasons, so deeply connected to the rhythms of life of all beings. My 8th painting is of Carpo. I wanted to bring a hint of her spirit with the earthy colors and the beginning...

Medeina Goddess of the Forest - Number 6 of the 30 Goddesses in 30 Days Series

I have been enchanted with the growing process of the "30 Goddesses in 30 Days" challenge that I have given myself. In a very short period of time the creation of a Goddess painting a day has become a blended part of my day as much as having my tea and eggs for breakfast. Part of the passion is the subject matter of the Goddesses. The other part of the passion is the growth I'm receiving working with the Peerless Transparent Watercolors and the styles involved. Today I finished Number 6 in the series, being "Medeina". Medeina is a Lithuanian Goddess of the Forests. She watches over the trees and the animals who lived in those magical woodlands. Some Forest Goddesses assist hunters, although Medeina's focus is not for helping the hunters but is for protecting the forest and its animal kingdom. My depiction of her brings her out in a natural world sense, wearing a mask of leaves so she can walk amongst and be a part of that which she watches over...
