  • This lovely shot brought to you by my keen eye :) / (I don’t miss much)

  • Dreamcatchers were originally created by the Ojibwa tribe as a charm meant to protect children from bad dreams. Bad dreams would become caught in the web and would disintegrate in the light of the morning sun, while good dreams would pass through the hole in the center.(summarized from Wikipedia) I originally intended to paint the ‘nightmares’ caught in the web, but they just didn’t seem to fit in the composition. After much experimentation and deliberation, I chose to leave them out, and up to the imagination. / I’ve wanted to paint this image for years…it comes from a time in my life when I felt very much alone and was going through some very rough times. I had trouble sleeping and was plagued by nightmares, but I had a dear old cat who, when he slept next to me, kept the bad dreams away. / This painting is for Wikkit.

Drums of thunder Featured in; EncausticNow My dear friend Butch pointed me out that this looked like a kokopelli abstraction so for all of you who want to know about Kokopelli; / Who Was Kokopelli? / Known as a fertility god, prankster, healer and story teller, Kokopelli has been a source of wonder throughout the country for centuries. Kokopelli embodies the true American Southwest, and dates back over 3,000 years ago, when the first petroglyphs were carved. Although his true origins are unknown, this traveling, flute-playing Casanova is a sacred figure to many Southwestern Native Americans. Carvings of this hunch-backed flute-playing figure have been found painted and carved into rock walls and boulders throughout the Southwest. There are many myths of the famous Kokopelli. One of which is that he traveled from village to village bringing the changing of winter to spring; melting the snow and bringing about rain for a successful harvest. It is also said that the hunch on his back depicted the sacks of seeds and songs he carried. Legend also has it that the flute playing also symbolized the transition of winter to spring. Kokopelli’s flute is said to be heard in the spring’s breeze, while bringing warmth. It is also said that he was the source of human conception. Legend has it, everyone in the village would sing and dance throughout the night when they heard Kokopelli play his flute. The next morning, every maiden in the village would be with child. / Whatever the true meaning of Kokopelli is, he has been a source of music making and dancing, and spreading joy to those around him. Even today, Kokopelli, with his hunchback and flute, is always welcome in our homes. The legend of Kokopelli (pronounced “Coke-a-pellie”) is well-preserved in ancient rock carvings and paintings dating back as far as 3,000 years. His legend however, is no less popular today – having survived more than one hundred generations. Below, is a compilation of stories collected through many hours of research. Certainly, you can find more stories (and images in Art) on the World wide web. Kokopelli, distinguished by his hunch-back, dancing pose, and flute, is the only anthropomorphic petroglyph to have a name, an identity, and an established gender. His name may have been derived from the Zuni name for god (“Koko”) and the Indian name for the Desert Robber Fly (“pelli”). His association with the Desert Robber Fly may stem from the fact that this insect too, has a hump on his back and a prominent proboscis. But, Kokopelli is known by other names, as well. To the Hopi, he is known as “Kokopilau” – meaning “wood hump”. To others, he is known as Kokopele, Kokopetiyot, and Olowlowishkya. He also bears a nickname – “Casanova of the Cliff Dwellers”, a tribute to his image and legend. Kokopelli’s lesser known female counterpart is known as “Kokopelli Mana”. Kokopelli is a prehistoric deity depicted frequently in ancient rock art, estimated to be over a thousand years old. Found throughout the mountains, deserts, and high plains of the southwestern United States. Frequently shown as a hump-backed flute player, this mythic being has survived in recognizable form from Anasazi times to the present. There is an appealing and timeless quality about Kokopelli which fascinates everyone, even in our modern technological age.

  • According to Native American folk lore, hanging a dreamcatcher in the window would trap evil spirits that caused nightmares and ensure a good night’s rest.
