Spirit of the North Wind

19×25 pastel on Sennelier La Carte paper

FEATURED IN C.O.R.E., FRIENDS OF RED BUBBLE, FIRST THINGS, THE PATCHWORK, AND THE SISTERHOOD
She has been sitting on my easel for the longest time. I finally got inspired to finish her. I made her a lot bigger than the others in the series, so that should appease her for me taking so long on her.
She is the Spirit of the North Wind. It is the wind of Winter and of death, but also of rebirth. She gives us the wisdom to overcome death and to know it is not the end. We must walk through the Northern gate at the end of this life and she will be the one to usher us through. Listen to cold Winter wind, and let her help you release your fears into the darkness of the night.

    I agree art cant be taught its something that comes from deep inside our soul. However it can be nurtured & enhanced. You obviously have a deep soul & your art shines through your fine artwork. This is quality art!!
