Beloved Bengals

Beloved Bengals

 

The inspiration in doing this painting came from my love of  bengal tigers. This is a tribute to the tigers. I think that they are so majestic and beautiful. It has been a dream of mine to work interact with them. I came close to the opportunity of holding some cubs. The painting was auctioned off to raise funds to help animals. The dream that I had for this painting has therefore been fulfilled. After my father passed I did the same thing with his painting, Pegasus. I did this in honor of my father's deep love for animals. He got carried away with that love at times. He bird watched at times when he was driving.

Buffalo Spirit

Buffalo Spirit 1-11-2003

On January 6th, I had a vision of the horse and the buffalo.The Indian is honoring the hawk in a ritual. His five feathers represent Earth, Air,Water.Fire. and the Universe (Gaia). I gave this painting to Alice and Austin Chipps in memory of their son, Phillip. Alice and Austin have The Center of Balance in Fowler. They received the following prayer that goes with the painting :

Thank our Great White Spirit
Who is Mighty in Truth.
Nature speaks to me.
Everyday is a new birth;
a birth of love and peace.
Walk with me Great White Spirit,
as I give thankfulness for  the
meadow and the brook that
gives us sacred signs and for the
hawk that teaches us to soar.

Angel Transfiguration

I called in angels to encircle me and sang the Lord's Prayer. Everything in this painting correlates with the other and with our Heart Center. The painting is one as we are One. There is an acknowledgement here that we are both feminine and masculine within. The clouds encircle our I AM with harmony and constantly bring us Peace within. We must learn to maintain this Peace matter what it is that is happening around us. I recognized the male image first and then I recognized the feminine aspect to bring in as well. It is important for us to know that we have both within us so that we can balance the energy from both. Cheribs appeared around the Being in my painting. Murillo was inspired to paint his famous painting,  "The Immaculate Conception" that has cheribs with the Virgin Mary. I also have a friend Marilyn that painted almost the same painting as myself. We both channeled them. It is as though we were guided by the same Source. Mother Mary and the Sun's Solar Presence is sending Eternal Light and Truth to our ONENESS. There is a being that is reaching out toward the Sun. There is a white cat with blue eyes (upper right). The cat is perceiving the wonder and the magic of all of this. Thank you angels for encircling all of us in Love, Peace, and Light. Thank you rose quartz for your connection with our Heart Centers.

Pegasus

Pegasus 80's

My father had an Ultra-Light plane and asked me to paint a pegasus on his plane which I never did. But I did give him this painting. A horse symbolizes power and  pegasus fly. They are therefore very free. My dad was fiercely independent. The clouds are pretty pastel colors and clouds signify peace and  harmony.  The wings are layered tissue paper. I did get Atlantis, that my father is mentioning it because he knew that he was an Atlantean. He had a tugboat on Lake Erie and did salvage diving. So he named the tugboat Atlantis I am also getting a connection to the Mediterranean Sea. I am also getting the name Oreopolis. This is a connection to the loss of Atlantis.

Life is Scrumptious

Life is Scrumptious 10-29-08
                  
Life was really fun in creating this design of delicious colors. I picked patches of color that are vivid. Then I arranged them to balance my work in the best way. The colorful design looks refreshing and scrumptious; hence the title. I really enjoyed creating all of them. Just since my painting has been posted I suddenly see a lot of things like aquatic mammals and birds.

Fire Spirits

Fire Spirits  11-28-08  /  Reading 3-2-13

There is a drummer beating a drum in the light of the moon. The love from his Heart lights the fire. There is a glimmer of light, the smoke lightly wafts, and there is electric in the air. There are many Hearts that eventually surround the fire. Their drumming and their intent ensues. Their intent is to spread Love. The fire spirits add Light to the fire because their intent is to celebrate the gift of Love that they witness. One fire spirit sends a flame to another and the smoke intensifies. The beats of the drummers' Hearts echo the love that is in the stillness of the night. The Light is reflected to those that are present; whether this is presence in spirit or on the Earth. The dragons and the moon are there to connect with the fire. I thank my Sedona drum for his heartbeats, his rhythms of love. I thank tamarack for asking to be present for this reading. Tamarack teaches us to listen to one another, to ourselves, to the mountains, to ourselves, and to our beats (truths) connecting us with the fire. I began this painting by spotting the small blue beings and the heads of the four dragons. Then I developed how the spirits could work with the fire to create the fire. The motion of the spirits in working with the fire is so beautiful. The dragons encompass the characteristics and energies of the directions. They symbolize hidden wisdom. The fire is the center of passion that creates a new life. I finished this painting on Thanksgiving Day!

As I alone watched a fire one night, a valuable lesson was reinforced. I thought about how the fire that I was watching was the world and  that I was one ember in the fire. I as an ember was contributing to the fire. I felt a great sense of peace, trust, faith, and love; that which I experienced
in firewalks. I walk through life remembering to keep this feeling fresh at all times. Walking through life in peace will erase all fear. Then I shine among all eternally!


 

Mystical Memory

Mystical Memory  11-23-07   /   Reading 4-2-13

Right before I clicked  into this blog, I saw a woman's video of the inner strength that she had to survive alone with a leg injury and frostbite for six days on Mt. Hood. This reminded me of how powerful our inner strength is if we tap into it. I wish to point out that this reading was done before I looked up the following information about Canadian geese.  At the beginning of the reading this morning I heard geese flying overhead and honking. Ted Andrews in Animal Speak says on p.145, "Their incessant honking seems to be calling us to follow them on the greatest spiritual quest."  Then on p.146, "...we should not undertake any quest in life without having full view of what it entails. In this way, the journey is facilitated for others."  He also mentions tha we can "expect imagination to be stirred toward new travels in body and in mind." ( the underlining I did for emphasis on the thoughts in regard to my reading).  Right when I began the reading the sun comes out (lightly snowing before that). I feel heat on the mid-right side of the painting. I feel a consistent horizontal plane of energy that is even upward pressure in the area of where I am sitting. I receive this message:  You meticulously planned this series of choices to lead to your ability and discovery. I think of a combination lock in which there are choices to be made in order.. At times, Nefertiti ( a golden amulet) calls you to take her with you. She wants to be with you when you are about to unlock truths. This painting helps one to open the necessary gates to achieve their goal. A floodgate opens. Then there is a rush; a wealth of energy that harbors timelessness. This opens the door for all possibilities and for any creation. That inner strength is ultimately shown in this demonstration of levitation and weightlessness. The energy is harnessed within but is tapped from our Universal Mind of Oneness. This demonstration is within the Light (torches) and the walls of my body that contains the ritual that is being viewed here. There is a sunrise behind me to represent my new discovery of Self. The green area is alchemically fluctuating between a liquid state (water) and a solid state malachite. Malachite aligns the chakras, protects, and increases the ability to focus. The cat is mystery and magic that is seated on purple (alchemy).  Thank you St. Germain for your insight. Archangel Michael and malachite for my protection , Nefertiti and  Isis for our connections of ancient ability and creations. Also thanks to jasper, crystal, and my wand for your faithfulness of doing what it is that you do.
