Last month I sold this painting to a wonderful lady and received this thank you yesterday:
Hi Erin, just want to let you know how much I am enjoying your Great Blue Heron painting, it is really a spectacular – it feels majestic. And I looked up the Great Blue Heron in my animal totem book and the 2 items associated with it where so appropriate for where I am in life right now (self-reliance and aggressive self-determination), so I think of these mantras every time I walk past it (which is a lot in a small house J ). I told Sam ‘well, you already know what to get me for my birthday present’ (that’s not until May, but it will be another Erin Williams painting, ha ha ha!).
So many many thanks for the beauty you are bringing into my life!!!
This is why I do what i do and is such an affirmation of art as healing medicine. Makes me smile inside and out.
Lately I’ve been thinking of the sea turtles swimming in hawaii and how I was so drawn to their energy medicine and I am tapping into that now. Here is a painting I did of sea turtles maybe 15 years ago.
I gave the original to my brother Tom who lives by the sea and loves to swim, like my mother and me. I think the sea turtle is a family totem and I’m tempted to paint another sea turtle, especially with my new connection with them on Maui.
Today on my beach walk I saw a blue whale breech 10 times (jumping completely out of the water). She looked like she was jumping for joy for the warm day and the plentiful fish in the kelp beds.- now that is some good animal medicine to tap into.
I think the animals are teachers directly from mother earth and we are wise to be open to their energies and subtle messages.
One Love~
