Under A Full Moon

"Darkness draws out our deep-down depths. Darkness is womb, is seed underground. Darkness is where birthing begins, incubator of unseen stirring, essential and fundamental growing." - Barbara Mahany

 Last week's Full "Beaver Moon" inspired this painting...and although I was in warm southern California at the time, the shortening of days reminded me that soon winter will be upon us. And I am reminded that winter is a time for incubation, hibernation and internal growth.  Magical things happen in the dark of night, when the earth enters her cycle of sleep and reunites with the dream world.
