Hoya carnosa, the Wax Flower, is a tropical evergreen climbing plant suited to growing in a conservatory or greenhouse in cooler climes. Clusters of starry flowers with thick waxy or furry petals occur in clusters of about 20 and are scented at night. Last year this was the first ever flower – there are loads more this year….

This is an older creation but i never got to upload it.. and still everytime i look at it myself i like the energy of this painting.. / thought it was about time i shared it with you .. hope you like it .. 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.

It took me forever to get this painting to be ok. / Had to lay it down and pick it up again, over and over.. / While working on it there was the strugle ( that is there more often..) between working from the soul and working from ego.. / Ego has th; I can use my tools to create this the way i want it to be.. the soul tells me to let it be.. accept the flow.. clearly this struggle is not only present while i paint.. but the painting helps me to see and understand more. Samsara in buddhism en hinduisme stands for the cylce of death and rebirth without a start and end, under the influence of illusion and karma and filled with agony. / The presence of the mentale states of desire, aversion and ignorance form an important aspect of the existence of Samsara. Music / / Samsara is the world as we ordinary human beings experience it, and where the mental and emotional states of desire, irritation and confusion often get the best of us. Samsara the Movie / “Samsara” is a spiritual love story set in the majestic landscape of Ladakh, in the Himalayas, about one man’s quest to find enlightenment. Tashi, a brilliant young disciple, is just completing three years of solitary meditation in a remote hermitage. Brought out of a deep trance, Tashi is taken back to his ancient monastery where he slowly recovers his strenght, but his return has unexpected results. Despite a life devoted to the rigors of spiritual development, he finds himself experiencing a suprisingly profound sexual awakening. These feelings coincide with his journey to a village to perform a harvest blessing where he meets Pema, a beautiful young woman. For the first time, Tashi begins to question the spiritual values of his monastic existence, realizing that one has to experience worldly existence in order to renounce it. Through Tashi’s eyes, this spiritual and moving love story chronicles one man’s discovery of the promise of “Samsara” – the world.

On Hallows Eve….the veil is very thin between the worlds….Samhain is a time of communication between the past and the present…. This work is a combination of an image I took of one of my Native American sculptures and an Encaustic work. I layered the images together.

Encaustic (wax painting) on canvas. Tools used are a hot air gun and roller sponge. Medium: coloured wax blocks The inspiration: / The time between Samhain and Yule is the time of the Crone, the Dagda, powerful, dark and wise… imposing and compelling at once. The cycle remains faithful to nature’s laws: to all that lives, comes death. While some threads are long seeming and others cut short, in the end, we all enter the eternal cauldron. Just when the dark seems all powerful, the Goddess begins life anew at Yule, with the rebirth of our Sun, God of light and warmth….
