Description:
The Fox is a prominent animal in my life, it often appears to me at times of great change, usually in relation to a change in location. This time has been no exception. During the time I was considering to move to Vermont I frequently saw a fox running in the fields behind my house or along the road as I drove. The Fox, serves as a guide for Spirit of Place. I know, when I see a fox, it means I am in the right place, at the right time, or, as in this case, as I contemplated moving, it reassured me that my decision was the right one. So to honor the Fox and deepen my connection, I worked on some sketches. I explored the Fox in a less representational way, something more symbolic. The image here was the end result. When I worked on the painting, I used paint made from the gemstone Serpentine. I chose the paint as a way to further my meditation as I painted. Serpentine is used to help ground one's energy, clearing away blocks from chakras. It helps in meditation and draws healing energy to problematic areas, often easing mental or emotional imbalances. It seemed the right kind of stone to work with at the time. And working on the painting helped give me a sense of control over my situation once more.
