Reflection

“Reflection”

By Wendy Fournier 

16x20 acrylic on canvas

How to use this print: There are many themes in this painting; some are seen while others are felt. This painting has with it hermit energy, where we become isolated and swim and meander within our thoughts and feelings as to sift through them to see what sticks and what doesn't. What is real and what isn't. And though this painting may feel to some as melancholy, the swan itself symbolizes prosperity and joy. This process of knowing our own waters is needed, this means understanding how we feel and why, allowing for all aspects of self expression.  This well of knowledge has great sustenance, enough to create trees and more trees to create a forest. Trees represent knowledge and this forest represents your wisdom cultivated over thousands of years.

There is magic all around us helping us discover ourselves. This painting represents looking at but not becoming consumed with the darker versions of ourselves, this can take away from us enjoying our beautiful surroundings and truly enjoying life. Look at how the world is reflecting back at you, through other people, situations arising, even how you see yourself, but know this is coming from within you. Allow for this awareness, while setting boundaries and putting your energy not only into those spaces but also to look up, and above to see the bigger picture and practice seeing the magic too.
