Paintings bring drawings to life and each drawing is an idea. I love awakening the thoughts and pictures I have in my mind. Read below to learn more.
Field of Suns Tarot Card: By Discovering Tara This painting was inspired by the sun tarot card. A favorite flower of mine is the sunflower. Combining the two brought me to my Field of Suns Tarot card. According to the Beginner's Guide to Tarot by Juliet Sharman-Burke, the sun represents clarity of vision, optimism, and positive energy. I have this painting hanging up by the entry of my front door.
Flowers of the Two Lovers: By Discovering Tara This painting was inspired by the two lover's tarot card. As you can tell, I started doing a series after I received my first deck. In this painting I have replaced the angel with the sun. To me, the sun is the overall giver of life. Each flower holds meaning in this painting. The pink flowers on the outside of the middle white flower represent the feminine energy. The middle white flower symbolizes purity and respect. Meaning that when the masculine energy loves and respects the feminine purely, a balance can be found creating a deep bond. The deep bond is where the Ivy comes in wrapped around the man. The man painted yellow represents the parts of the woman the man loves, the warmth and life she provides. The flower used as the woman's head represents life and the energy she emits to the surrounding environment. Meaning that the energy she gives out will hopefully in turn be the energy given back to her through love and respect.
Sun Shine Green Pine: By Discovering Tara It is hard to come by a peace like this. The peace of being out in the woods, being away from society, with the setting sun. This painting was inspired by the backpacking trips in the pines. Smelling the fresh air, taking the rest I need, and bring a part of that peace in my home.
