Art Every Day Month - Day 23: Shaman Girl
This piece is a painting using watercolors that I have in a little travel watercolor kit. I’m away on vacation and am in one of my favorite places in the whole world which is the Southwest desert area- Nevada, Utah and Death Valley in California. I have a pretty strong relationship with the land in these areas and I always feel like I’m more empowered and in touch with myself when I am there. So this piece kind of feels like a bit of a self portrait -me as nature girl who is connected up to the animals and the elements and feeling her spiritual oats!! Goddess knows why I have green hair… it just felt like the right thing to do. And the zig-zag crack in my forehead has shown up in a couple of my other paintings. I think it IS related to my intuition opening up a bit more. Or it could just be a symbol that I am completely losing my mind. Which are probably one and the same thing!!
