Lady of the Night

(Work in progress)

This painting came

yesterday

while I was listening to song #14

on a cd from my Beautiful Bloggy Friend

Lisa /Priti Lisa

http://pritistudio.blogspot.com/

Whenever song #14 plays

I instantly go into this place

it captures my soul

and..I always seem to feel a somber soulful energy

and so...

while it played..

this woman came through

( I love that cd Lisa made me by the way!)

At first I thought I was painting a dancer

then I realised...

She is a lady of the night

*

Her life was not her choice

she dreamed of being a dancer..

it is the dream she carries in her heart

*

Her eyes sad and soulful

trapped in a life she cannot escape

Yet there is Peace, Hope and Beauty Shining

 in her weary heart

her Spirit is not broken

she is Powerful

despite her struggle and heartache

She is a survivor

and nothing can touch her

Unbreakable Spirit

There are many in the world who are trapped

in a life they cannot escape

there are sadly..many children caught in a world

of this kind of slavery

it is heart-breaking

this lady came through leading me to think of those

who are trapped like her

it touched my heart..

a WIP

I look forward to finishing her

*

Every Painting Carries a Story

Painting freely and allowing stories

to come through

can open the mind heart and spirit

and take you down the path and journeys of others

*

Do your paintings ever lead you

to discover stories too?

*

Every painting has a story

 a soul and essence

with something to express

*

I look forward to visiting you all

discovering what stories

and creations you are creating

*

Visit and play

Earth Harmony:Sacred Spirits of Nature

Happy Earth Day

Earth Harmony: The Guide

From The Painted Tarot

The Earth is our Home

Nature is our Guide

And All of Nature , it's Creatures, All that is the Earth

is Sacred and Powerful

Nature is Creational

and the Bringer of all Balance

and The Spark of Harmony

*

Nature is our Teacher, Guide, Healer

and an Ever-evolving consciousness

*

To Know Nature is to know

The Power  and Beauty of Creation

This Gift is Sacred

and to understand that the Self is sacred ,

the Earth is sacred

All Creatures sacred

and that we are One Light, One Breath

 we are Oneness

Mind , Body, Heart and Spirit

When we attune to Nature

we Become awakened

in that Divine Balance

The Earth is our Mother

our Nourisher

our Healer

The Empowered Heart of the Universe

we must take care of our earth, our planet

Celebrate the earth and all of it's Gifts

Become Guardians of the Earth

~Victoia Pettella~

This painting is called

Earth Harmony; The Guide

from The Painted Tarot series

*

Nature is our Ultimate Guide

we can find all the answers

 and wisdom in nature

*

The Beautiful Star hidden in the tree

is being offered to anyone who reaches for it..

The 5pointed Star symbolizes

Pure Balance,

Empowerment and Harmony

And a Power Mandala

of all the the Sacred Elements..

unified

Earth, Air, Water,

Fire, Ether/Spirit

*

It is Nature's Creational Gift to us

*

when we understand nature

and that our connection

is ONE

we will take better care of the earth

for...

we are nature

nature is us

*

we are not separate from it

The Body of the Earth... is our body

Our Body is the earth's body

*

that sacred connection

is immeasurably potent

This Forest Spirit shines his

Enlightened Consciousness

through the trees

speaking to those awake enough to hear

*

His ear adorned with  a green leaf..

asking you to listen to nature..

and your own inner nature

*

The green leaf draped across

his brow/spiritual eye

is a Visionary Gift,

to see Nature with Awakened Eyes

to see you are part of nature

this is the key to harmony

*

Nature gives so much to us

we too must give back to the earth

*

Sacred Ally the Woodpecker

The Bird, a woodpecker

sits  inside a creational pocket

inside the tree

like a Heartbeat..the woodpecker taps his song

into the wood

he knows the great pulse of Mother's Spirit 

and the sacred drum of the earth's heart connects us all

*

The birds and all creatures and trees, plants, insects

 are all  in harmony with nature's rhythm

natural cycles  and seasons

they all follow the heartbeat of the earth mother 

we can too...

PORTALS

*

The Bark is full of wisdom

and history

and healing energies

and there are two sacred portals

leading out into the sky of freedom.

In nature... we find the answers

that set us free

*

WISDOM

*

all of nature

all of the planet

 and all of earth is sacred

and empowered with ancient knowledge..

waiting for us to explore and to discover

*

The Guide's Message

 asks us to explore the power of nature

 and to discover your

own Connection to it 

and journey with this Sacred Oneness

Here you will find the gifts and miracles of life

Become Nature

for you both are One Heart

One Mind , One Body

 One Spirit and One Breath

*

And to Know one another finally..

Fully and completely

Heals all things,

Empowers all things

 and this sacred relationship

is what Sparks

Pure Harmony into Being

Empowers all of Creation

and Enlightens the Pulse

of the Universal heart

into Existence.

The Victorian Lady

The Victorian Lady

She rests on the piano..

till it is time to finish her...

I Love when Victorian Ladies

show up on the canvas..

and their oversized embellished hats..

*

When she first appeared..I knew I really liked her..

She seems like a rebel within

and full of life

*

Her clothes expressive like her Inner Spirit

*

If You know me by now..

you know I love taking photo shoots

*

I also love taking my paintings

and putting them in different settings..

and creating scenes..

and seeing what new energy will come to life

I love experimenting

This often allows me to SEE my painting

in a new way

and to see different aspects of it

come to life..

It also presses a divine re-set button

for me..and then

I often feel inspired to finish it..

I love to stir and invoke moods

and a sense of atmosphere

Both photography and art combined

can create a whole different energy to a piece

and even lead you in new directions!

She is the Doorway: The Sacred Veil

The Sacred Veil

She is the Doorway...

This painting is special to me..one of the first I created many years ago

but still brings me much magic, peace and joy.

It marks  a sacred journey in my life where I was walking through the veil

and into a new world

*

A new world which brought me healing, peace,

creative essence, inspiration and many more gifts

and a reconnection to the lost parts of myself..

and a merge with a divine part of my being..a beautiful journey..

This painting for me...is very calming and meditative.

Even the painting itself..is very basic..

simplistic...uncomplicated...and serene.

a pureness..an open feeling of harmony.

*

The Blue Veil..a doorway..an opening

her kind face..warm and loving and gentle

A powerful divine crystal seed of Aquamarine

upon her brow

her eyes Lit with golden light

  *

Her face large and widening..

much like it feels when you go into

a meditative place.. place of expansion..

the face can sometimes tingle and feel as though it is widening..

like you are gently breaking open like a seed..

and just becoming

s p a c e.

Victoria's Orbs

*

These colorful glowing balls of light...

are like orbs..spheres and portals..

beautiful energies

of Wholeness

and Bliss

and full of Flowing Creativity

*

These orbs are filled with energies

 of love and spirit and light

they are peaceful and meditative as well.

*

Seeing orbs and beautiful energies is normal to me..

but I understand it may seem odd to others..

To a mystic's mind it truly is not a far trip at all !

...experiencing beautiful energy and orbs of light all around ,

within your self,

in nature, in all creatures, 

spirit beings, loved ones across the veil

in the beauty of others

in every living thing

is a natural common thing..

which seems strange to others.

but these colorful light-filled orbs

have always appeared to me 

and especially in times when  I am in need

or need to shift into a new direction

 *

Sometimes the orbs

have brought

healing..energy, messages

Carry new Insight and Consciousness

sometimes relaxation and peacefulness..

sometimes New Ingredients

and Creative Gifts ..

balance..alignment and wisdom..

poetry,songs and paintings!!

 *

They radiate Full of color energy..

vibrational energies..

all to bring harmony to the body mind and spirit

*

Upon waking and Sleeping

*

I see them when I fall asleep and as I awaken..

they travel inward and outward like tunnels..and sometimes swirl..

For some this part of the Magical mind

and Mystical part of the brain

is switched ON in this way..

and these occurrences are quite common.

Many children also see this natural energy

and some grow up

and still keep that connection.

*

Over the years I have met and worked
with many adults and children

who are able to see and some who are sensitive
to energy, see visions..

and for some this has been challenging

But through learning to love and accept this part

and find balance and healthy alignment

with this part of yourself 

makes the experiences beautiful.

*

There are many out there who see energy,

orbs and colors and beautiful symbols

and understand them intuitively.

They also are known

as Languages of Light

and Sacred Geometries

and many experience them.

Some don't even realize

they are experiencing

these beautiful energies.

*

Some may see:

*Flashes of light

*Colors

*Numbers/numerical equations

*Patterns and Shapes

*Moving Light, Swirls, Orbs

~Sacred Geometries

~Ancient Symbols

~Celestial languages and alphabets

and so on...

*I began seeing  all of these things..

and after a time

" translation" began to move in

and I understood them...pretty magical!

Language of Light

Visual Experimentation

*

Joining Symbolic Paintings

*

Sometimes I love joining paintings together..

it brings more magic

and more reflections and insights!

Or grouping many together that carry similar energy and qualities

and it feels magical when experienced together.

You may experience your painting in a new way..

and they will speak to you in a magical way!

*

Art Exploration

I use alot of my art with those

who come to my studio

for Creative Self-Discovery sessions.

It is wonderfully fun..and illuminating  

to see people become sparked

with new discoveries for their path and life

through art!

Just like the many orbs..

the Veiled woman also has

Sister Paintings of her.

.all holding their own unique energy

and doorway to explore

Here is one of them..

 For some they may represent

the Divine Feminine.. Goddess energy,

whatever they make you feel

is perfect for you..

I hope you enjoyed today's tribute to orbs and veils

And wishing you many gifts of the special doorways and orbs

you may encounter on your journey!

  They are special sacred moments..enjoy them!

*

and also to those out there..

who do 'see'..and experience these kinds of things

do not be afraid of this natural

and beautiful

part of your spirit..

enjoy it and celebrate it!

Shine on!

Looking forward to seeing what you are all creating..

I will visting all wkd long!!

see you!

Victoria's Meditation Painting : Turquoise Spirit

The Turquoise Spirit

Victoria's Meditation Painting

*

Working with Paintings through reflection..

Symbolic meditations..

Creative energy

and attuning to beauty and harmony

through art-exploration

*

Something I love doing with others

and enjoy when painting..

*

Like a moving map of patterns...

using your intuitive expression to create with paintings

*

A wonderful way to see your painting in a new way

to also interact with them creatively

and feel the energy in an intuitive way

This painting( although totally unfinished..I know you won't mind)

was inspired by the realm of crystals..nature and the sea

*

Turquoise was calling out..and as I held it

I felt the image of this beautiful woman appear,

She is the Turquoise Spirit

*the imagery began to create a sense of freedom,

open energy

calm and balance

and

FREEDOM

The painting feels like  a Meditative Mosaic

adorned with colorful pieces and patterns

held by the earth and sea.

There is a matrix of Turquoise draped across her chest

Sparkles of Aquamarine showering above her head

Growing Eggs and Orbs of Amazonite beneath her hair

Spirals of Malachite anchoring the energy

and

a  Feather

of freedom and spirit

*

Her face...skin and hair lit with the Essence of Citrine

When creating with a painting symbolically..

notice where you wish to place certain things..(or in this case stones..)

all beautiful messages and insights

*

a cluster of tumbled Aquamarine

rest at her Throat Chakra center

invoking peacefulness and healing

The Throat chakra is the space of Expression...

a wondeful message to reflect on..

*

Expressing with art in this way can become

* Visual Meditations

*Healing activations

* and a creative way to focus

and energize the body mind and spirit

*

I love creating these maps with people who visit me

and to use for myself..they are alot of fun

and can create insights and new inspirations

and shift you within

and spark the mind with new ingredients

At her forehead

a beautiful ring of citrine and turquoise emblem

in the center of it like a Crystal flower Mandala

*

Wonderfully energizing and meditative

A large pice of coral above her head..crowning her

* Colors, symbols and shapes and patterns can all be wonderfully stimulating

and we can all feel and sense different messages

when looking at a painting in this way

I hope you enjoyed this painting today

I look forward to finishing this piece...and creating the final touches..

to this Mosaic Crystal Map and this Turquoise Healing Spirit

I hope this painting brings you

the Gifts of the Peaceful Sea

The Magic of Colors and Crystal energy

and the connection to Nature's essence

and a feeling of harmony..
