The Daily Painting #4


Wolf Behind Tree


This is an original, unframed acrylic painting. Size is 18" x 24". The subject matter is of a wolf. I found a photograph years ago of this wolf and it's been sitting around for a long time. I just came across it and knew it was the perfect subject to paint. I don't know what it is about wolves, but I've always been fascinated by them.

I looked up wolf in my Animal Medicine cards and found the following information and realized this must be the reason why I am so drawn to them.

Wolf is the pathfinder, the forerunner of new ideas who returns to the clan to teach and share medicine. Wolf takes on make for life and is loyal like Dog. If you were to keep company with Wolves, you would find an enormous sense of family within the pack, as well as a strong individualistic urge. These qualities make Wolf very much like the human race. As humans, we also have an ability to be a part of society and yet still embody our individual dreams and ideas.

If you have drawn into Wolf medicine, you may be able to share your personal medicine with others. Your intuitive side may also have an answer or teaching for your personal use at this time. As you feel Wolf coming alive within you, you may wish to share your knowledge by writing or lecturing on information that will help others better understand their uniqueness or path in life. It is in the sharing of great truths that the consciousness of humanity will attain new heights. Wolf could also be telling you to seek out lonely places that will allow you to see your teacher within. In the aloneness of a power place, devoid of other humans, you may find the true you. Look for teachings no matter where you are. Wolf would not come to you unless you requested the appearance of the tribe’s greatest teacher.

=======================================================

I hope you enjoy this painting as much as I do. I had a wonderful time creating it. I painted it at night up on the rooftop deck. My dog Lucy stayed right at my side the entire time.

I am beginning to realize just how many wonderful things are happening all at the same time as I create each of these 'Daily Paintings'. One, my skills as a painter are improving dramatically. Two, all I can think about is going up to the loft to paint. Three, it NEVER feels like work.

Big thank you to Fred Albert and the quote you put on my Guestbook... “A master in the art of living draws no distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence to whatever he is doing, and leaves others to determine whether he is working or playing. To himself, he always seems to be doing both.”

I am beginning to understand that quote more and more each day.

Thank you and happy bidding!!

Peace & blessings,
