Dreaming Otters
ORIGINAL FOR SALE $650 plus P&H
OK – the story goes -
I desperately wanted to paint a new mandala (the one I’m doing right now) but I had two canvasses sitting there blank. So I told myself I had to finish both of them before I could start on the big medicine wheel mandala…
And next thing I know, there are two celtic crosses emerging in tandem from the canvas, with seals and otters playing in the mandala centre.
The circle contains and is undending, the cross both reaches out and marks a specific, finite point at the centre.
With mine, the circles represent the moon and the cross, the sun. The cross reaches out to the four directions, the four corners of the earth. The vertical and the horizontal come together in the joining of forces – Heaven and Earth…
The otters symbolise the connection with the feminine and an unconventional and quirky mind. Brilliant imagination, intelligence, perception and intuition also run with this gorgeous animal. PLAY!
In acrylic on canvas with jewelled and metallic overlays…
The original is for sale.

thanks shell! how do I know this stuff? its just in my head when I need it – and the internet and research helps me out too – and i must give great thanks to the teachers in my life who guide my faltering steps on this path of discovery… and Carl Jung for showing me the way to my soul…

I love that you added jewels to this. I’ve tried that a few times and am fascinated by the results. I started cuz I could seem to paint a straight line for guitar strings when my hands shook. It looks like you have mastered straight lines…and curved lines…. and svelte swimming yin-yang otters, too! Magnifico!

its great that pictures of the artwork hide a multitude of mistakes lol – you should see the knotwork up close and personal – the shaky hands tell! but thats the price you pay when you hand draw and hand paint all your knotwork lol
Thank You so much for your wonderful comments – I love using jewel effects and metallics and I’m just starting to experiment with anything I can lay my hands on to incorporate into the body of the picture – back to kindergarten! YAY!

The beauty of your art is that it is handpainted Marg
and Im with you in that the playing and trying new ideas keeps it fun and challenging , theres so many different ways to approach each piece and so it is unique upon completion.
