Winds of Change Painting

Winds of Change was created on good old fashion brown paper. A yellow bird carries the message that there is always a way out if you trust yourself and tap into your personal power. You do have the strength to make it through the storm. Traditionally, it was believed that if one folded 1000 origami cranes, one's wish would come true. It has also become a symbol of hope and healing during challenging times. As a result, it has become popular to fold 1000 cranes (in Japanese, called “senbazuru”). The number twelve carries religious, mythological and magical symbolism, generally representing perfection, entirety, or cosmic order in traditions since antiquity. Yellow is an attention-grabbing color, so it usually appears when something is trying to get you to pay attention to a certain object or situation. The color challenges you to keep moving forward, despite any fear.
