A Winter’s Prayer and Painting

A Winter’s Prayer (9″ x 12″) – SOLD

A Winter’s Prayer

May this season of
Quiet contemplation
Rejuvenate me in its growing Light,
Connecting me to purpose, passion,
And divine timing.

May the silence of falling snowflakes
Bring inspiration and guidance
As I continue to embrace
The mystery of the unknown.

May Winter’s blanket of snow
Appease my gaze,
Soften my steps,
And lead me with ease and grace
to the hearth of mine own Self.

May I find comfort and peace
In the stillness of the night
To awaken within the mystical essence of life
That courses through my veins
And shines within my spirit.

May I be gently rocked
by the rhythms of the seasons
Accepting that there’s a time to listen
and a time to act.

With this prayer,
I join in Oneness with Winter
to be a part of its resplendent magic
and restful wonder.

So be it. Aho. Amen.

I’ve said it before. The studio is not only my sanctuary, but my classroom. I learn so much about life without leaving the house. As you read about the creative process behind this painting, see how it relates to your life.

This little gem of a painting (if I can say so myself) took longer to create than some of my big ones.

Instead of being birthed from one of my beloved painting marathons, it came into being very slowly as other pieces emerged around it, including a couple of Soul Energy Portraits.

You see, I hate to waste paint. Some of my fluid Golden acrylics cost $50 a bottle. It’d be a shame to leave a small puddle of it on my palette to dry and throw out.

That’s why I usually have a small canvas around that evolves layer after layer with the leftovers of other paintings.

O,K. That doesn’t sound good. Let me rephrase.

This painting was blessed with the communal essence of its growing family of energy-infused visionary paintings.

It came into being from both the material and spiritual realms of inspiration.  

It sat there for months, open to the happy accidents of life as well as the application of intention and experience.

And then, in the end, it found a clarity of purpose and called itself into being, with my help.

P.S. The photo above shows how, from some angles, the soft snowflake shape and colours behind it become iridescent gold, violet, green, and blue. It’s magical!

So there you have it – the birthing of:
