Humming Bird Surrender

Sometimes with intuitive painting an image comes to my minds eye but the details are elusive. This time I could see a white bird in flight. I could see the back of the bird with its wings almost reaching upward. But which bird? It looked small and a typical shape, and the words ‘Snow bill’ popped into my head. I looked this up but the closest I found to that name was the Spoon Bill. It didn’t look like this though. I kept looking and found a ‘White Tern’. This is a bird that flies the Pacific Ocean and is beautiful, but it had a black beck - so maybe a bird with a white beck since the words ‘snow bill’ came to me. Then to make it even more confusing, these two birds felt fine to choose…The presence with me was so supportive and happy whatever I choose. It was really nice to experience this kind of joy and gratefulness but I smiled because I still needed to find a bird. I felt a stronger pull towards an American bird, so I tried a white Humming Bird, and yes that felt right, and it had a white bill. 

The Humming bird has beautiful wisdom written about it. They have long been known to bring healing, love, joy, light and help from the spirit world. I especially liked finding out that it’s wings move in the shape of the infinity symbol, so it is known to represent eternity which is a wonderful tribute to life after this world. It is a bird that is busy and focused but their physical lightness is a special reminder that even though we get weighed down with lifes daily stresses we need to remember to lighten up. When we choose to release the heaviness in our lives, our fears and worries, like the hummingbird, our spirits can begin to hover and soar as we follow a more joyful path.

I felt impelled to add the colours of the rainbow on the hummingbirds feathers. Rainbows to me represent hope, promise, truth, love and the journey towards our potential, our inner gifts. Our chakra system itself is a rainbow, with vibration and colour. Meditating and visualising colours is an amazing way to get in touch with each of our chakra and gently increase their vibration and potency. We are our own healers. We are healers. We have so much capacity, so much potential. Surrender…this is the key, surrender to all that is good, to all that will feed our true potential..."If on the wings of thy soul thou soarest to the realm of the infinite and seekest to attain thy goal".  Baha’u’llah

It was an honor to do this piece knowing that it had been gifted from a friend to a friend. I hope it brings much joy and more.

Hathor - Mother Goddess

Hathor: Goddess of the sky, dance, love, beauty, joy, motherhood, foreign lands, music and fertility... I asked myself before beginning this painting, “What if I don’t know who I’m painting?”…Well this was one of those paintings…I thought I was painting Cleopatra because of the Egyptian features, but when I researched about her, it didn’t match up. Then I found out about Hathor - an ancient Egyptian Goddess, and it was speaking exactly what the painting had showed me. So I asked the energy, and yes! Wow - Thank you. I didn’t know there was a Goddess that represented all these amazing things. I knew from the outset that this painting was powerfully femimine, as the colour was a vibrant fuchsia and was painted in smooth circles going to the left of the centre. Then the Egyptian features, the way the hair has two strong egyptian like hair pieces on either side, the eye markings, the necklace resembling an eagle with two wings going up around her neck, one wing male and the ot

Before Birth

Image
This painting speaks to a topic that is often avoided, it speaks to the many people that have traveled this heart wrenching journey and are often very alone in this pain, a pain that is deep and tears at the very fabric of life, the pain of abortion. It is a pain that is least expected, a pain that no one wants to experience, but circumstances led to this fatal moment, the most difficult decision imaginable, to stop someones life before birth.  Although one of the saddest of situations, this unborn baby has come from the union of two souls, who in this physical life are experiencing a very difficult path, their lives being tested with hurt and pain, the bruises, the scars, the fear, the anger, the violence, the drug addiction, the mental torment amongst the better times during this strange and desperate relationship.  As the woman continued to try and break away from this co-dependant life that was slowly destroying her, a baby came… So the journey takes a turn, this union

Destiny

I saw a clear image of a horse and in recognising its colour and features I did some research and found the Palomino horse which is known for its golden chestnut coat and sometimes white patches. The image showed the horse as though you were standing in front of it, communicating and connecting.  The horse is a beautiful spirit animal representing freedom, bliss, optimism, drive, passion, direction, goals and result. It asks you to ride it in spirit knowing it will take you quickly to your destination.  This piece also includes the Mayan calendar, speaking of ancient wisdoms and oneness with creation. The calendar represents both the past and the present, and our place, our role within the marking of time. What is our mark? What will we leave behind once we have moved on? We are part of the ever continuous spiral of life. Part of a greater unfolding destiny, a greater plan.
