Each week, as I sit staring at a blank canvas wondering what to paint next, the face of another Goddess/Angel starts to take form. I am realizing more and more that the image is already on the canvas waiting for me to acknowledge her. Her timing is always perfect. Zanna, pictured here, proclaims: ‘You are protected from all types of harm. The worst is now behind you. I ask you to relax and feel safe.’ The worst may be behind us, but that does not mean we are to rush back into our old lives. I believe we are to take this ‘time between’ what was before and what will be in a week or a month or even a year from now and find our place in this new paradigm we are being invited into by Spirit.
I am also striving each day to create something new in my art journal. Much easier to do something small and easily completed in an hour or 2. I usually ‘sploot’ several colors of acrylic paint on a page, fold it over and press to create swirls and patterns that suggest something to me. Like the images in clouds, pictured here from a photo I took in Florida in March, suggest angels, animals, or waves on a shore, my blots of paint suggest images to me.
Sometimes it takes a day of walking past the journal lying open on my kitchen peninsula before I have an‘aha!’ moment and wings and the outline of a faceand hands holding a sacred object start to appear.The picture is from a Susan Boulet calendar I have hadfor years and the my painting above mirrors her.
