More angels and goddesses......


I named this goddess painting "CONNECTED" (acrylic on canvas).  Lots of blue and purple tones here opening up the throat and crown chakras which enable us to SPEAK OUR TRUTH, EXPRESS OURSELVES AUTHENTICALLY and CONNECT TO OUR HIGHER POWER or SOURCE ENERGY.  The universal hand mudra for prayer or NAMASTE represents our connection to ALL BEINGS & THE UNIVERSE and reminds us that WE ARE ALL ONE.


 
 
 
This goddess painting I have named "ALIVE" (acrylic on canvas)  For me she represents a RISING ABOVE circumstances, challenges or obstacles.  She is so free and open, she looks as if she is about to take flight.  The painting process I used created colors and textures that look almost like wings.
 
 
 


And here is "LIFE FORCE" (acrylic on canvas)  A very loving and energetic angel representing our own energy and life force that drives us and fuels our passions, creations and desires.


Angels and Goddesses

I have found my work representing our "Re-connection" to the divine feminine energy in powerful archetypal images of angels and goddesses.  I wanted to share a few with you here.........


This angel is painted on a small wooden panel and is a representation of the WATER element in ancient chinese medicine.


And here is fire.  These peices are still in progress.

 
This angel above is connected to the EARTH element and you can see her roots reaching into the earth.

Here are some ancient archtype angel paintings...............

Goddess Bast is coming along...........

I was very inspired the other night and really added to this painting......I like how her hair has more energy now.  My intention is to really "finish" her face with some dramatic shadows and coloring, also I feel I need to fix her nose and mouth.......more to come soon!

The Goddess 'BAST"

I was listening to a guided meditation from my friend Sheri Ann Ponzi of Painting Herself into Being yesterday and it was all about re-connecting to the Divine Feminine energy as a source for inspiration, strength and creativity.  It was a powerful meditation and the strong message I received was, "YOU ARE LOVED!"  The Goddess Bast also "popped" into my head, so I looked her up.

She is the goddess of PROTECTION & PLEASURE. Her father was the sun god, RA and she protected him from his enemies.  She is associated with cats, fertility, protection, sensuality and more.  You can read more about Bast by CLICKING HERE.

I found it really cool that I was drawn to such a brave, strong and loving goddess, so OF COURSE I was compelled to paint her!  And here is what has emerged so far............

 
 
I'm looking forward to completing her............I will update you soon!  Enjoy your Wednesday!!!
