Wisdom of the Forest | Original Painting

in #art7 years ago

Hello :')

Death has not claimed me yet! Feels good to be back. Hope you guys are doing great!! (I also have a special announcement at the end. If you like my art, check it out!)

While my presence on the internet was on hold, i created this picture, which was very therapeutic to paint for me. I feel like i have grown lately, as i've faced challenges head on that tested my resilience and strength, physically and mentally. Just life things! 🐒

I even have more energy after letting go of unsolved and unconscious emotional turmoil through practicing yoga everyday, along with dancing and learning chants. Such simple changes, but so powerful. I even lost weight as well. Can recommend it strongly!

Along the way, this picture came about spontaneously. As i was creating it, i had an idea and a clear vision of what to do with my artistic ability to help bring more aliveness into this world 🌍!


The picture is really huge. I hope you can enjoy this compressed version of it too! Otherwise you can see the bigger version here:

I want my art to connect with people on a deeper level, and open doors that may not have ever been opened before. As cheesy as it sounds, my wish is to heal people as i'm healing myself, and bring awareness about by painting nature and fantastical elements of it. And i'll be really nerdy about it hehe.

Of course i still have many challenges to face myself! But i think facing them is more fun together with you here on Steemit, as opposed to plowing through it on my own, although that is also important to do.


To start off in this year, i want to try something special.
In the spirit of community, i would love to hear from you guys what your favorite animal is and why! I will choose one (or maybe more!) of your comments about your favorite animal choice, and will base my next picture on your pick! Depending on how this goes, i might do more of it in the future :')


Progress shots for you curious out there!!
