Buffalo : February 2016
This is the third buffalo painting in the body of work that I have created in the past 2 years. The process of painting these animals is, of course, deeply personal. I have gone through a lot of transitions in these 2-3 years and through this work I am able to tap into that personal journey on a spiritual level. I have been given the opportunity to keep working, which is a huge gift. If you aren't familiar with Pixie Lighthorse, please look her up. Her online course from 2015, centering around Buffalo, is all about *Manifestation of Visions* and the words *clarity, abundance, and prosperity* are used to describe her class. This resonates with me and helps to clarify my attraction to this mysterious and powerful animal. I have been learning to paint with honesty and to cultivate my own strong voice, as a painter, a mother, a woman. I know this is an endless journey and I am forever grateful for the opportunity to keep creating new work. (38"x50" acrylic on paper.)
