card/collage

Quick little card I threw together for mother's day.

Resilience Goddess

This goddess has been in the works for several months now. She is structured after a Tibetan Bodhisattva but I substituted a phoenix -a classic resilience symbol- as her mount. She is definitely in the Yidem school of goddesses.

Ume, hepatica, bamboo, and willow are just a few of her plant symbols.

The stain glass pattern started out as an organic development of the watercolor but also plays quite well into some of my personal imagery/symbols for strength.

There are a lot of iridescent highlights on this one that sadly won't be visible in the digital images.

Despite the lack of posting...

I have been at work on new paintings but Blogger's inability to play nice with my Nexus has caused me to have temporary amnesia on uploading my projects. Here's what I've been up to:

Finished versions of these paintings and a few more are on my Flickr page under:

Goddess of Productive Energy 

Haven't we all wanted to have some of the energy of a frenetic puppy when we don't feel like getting work done?
Note the new take on the monkey bird for this one- a humming bird/ capuchin. The flowers are cardinal flowers, chamomile, and red clover all of which have have meanings pertaining to energy.
Inspired by the endless activity of my new puppy Dharma, I'm thinking of naming this Goddess Frenea.
