Moons Painting

This is the 3rd in my series of pale grey background, highly textured white strokes and a touch of gold. (The previous two being “Paths” and “Desire”). As with the other two, no planned design. As a healing artist, I simply let the energies flow through me. However, after the fact I realized that I had created this work the night of the full moon, July 19 2016 . What I also believe to be significant, is the profile of a face on the Waxing Crescent, it can clearly be seen in the close up image. The symbolism of balance and shadows, emotions and illumination. The Moon is the illumination between complete darkness and the Sun’s complete light. It’s known to be the elusive connection between consciousness and subconsciousness . It is the in between, the unknown. In Native American lore, the New Moon is a time to let things go, whereas the Full Moon is a time to begin things. The reasoning is that at the time of the New Moon, you’re covered in darkness and no one can see the emotion you display, while during the Full Moon, your aspirations and hopes are transparent and visible. It is also associated with the following: , Transformation,Fertility,Illumination,Change,Shadows,Balance,Emotions,Intuition, Inner Knowledge. The Waxing crescent, Full moon and Waning crescent in a single image are associated with  Rhythm of time.  Cycle of life.  Renewal The Full Moon represents this and it holds onto each opposing aspect, the crescents. This tells us that everything is connected and never ends. Nothing is coincidence.
