oil on canvas, 19" x 30"
Night before last, I could not sleep... maybe it was the blue light in the computer that awakened my brain - I should not be online 4 hours before going to bed! HA! But I am addicted to Steemit! Oh well... maybe one day I will figure it out... anyway, I was awake, so I got up and started to paint...
(No computer after 9pm - let's see if I can do that?)
I decided to use these oil pastels on the canvas...
I added some details to the water...
and then used my paint thinner (I use Citrisolv) to blend the pastel...
Meaning
The dragon represents the subconscious mind, the reptilian brain, fight or flight... it can be accessed, and befriended, but never tamed. That requires going in from the inside. The dragon has too many external defenses to be approached from the outside. Besides, that would be too easy.
Smoke and Fire detail
The Subconscious Mind, 85% of Your Brain
Using Sigils to speak to it, and also Meditation, EFT, Reiki, the Microcosmic Orbit, and taking what it asks for seriously, it can be accessed...
In my case, I should work for myself... but what can I do? A lot of things. I just put the word out on Nextdoor to do housecleaning, and odd-jobs. I don't care what I would be able to do really as long as it's local, cash, and I don't have to "work" a regular gig, and I could do a variety of tasks.
This was before last night when I decided to add details to the stars...
Jupiter and Saturn - Saturn is in the 2nd House in my chart... which has to do with making a living - I am paying some Karmic Debt in this lifetime, for past mistakes - and making a living is simply my struggle, however, I do have Sagittarius Rising, which counteracts Saturn by bringing me luck.
Moon, Mercury, Mars, the detail I am adding is impossible to see on the computer - I am using iridescent white mixed with Prussian blue, around the stars - they will shimmer - but you can't see that on-screen...
To Sum Up
*All my artwork is autobiographical, unless I am working for someone else, although you are me and I am you, so it can still be useful to work for others, as a self-reflective tool. This painting is a
Sigil I have a job I love which fully supports me financially I invite you all to use this Sigil if you wish, as well. The more people who use it the more powerful it will be.
