Winter’s Waning Moon

Winter’s Waning Moon is a grey scale mandala inspired by the restful state of winter. The layers of the painting include free form writing on the need for rest and the growth that follows:

enjoy the deep sleep of winter
little seeds waiting to burst forth with new life
proving to the world that all things pass
that the blooms of spring are waiting
and will emerge when the time is right
we may grow impatient
and long for the warm days
shun the cold and dark
but we must remember
that all things need rest
all things must have time to recharge
including the earth and all her children
the blooms will come
the warmth will return

This piece is 18×18 on a cradled wood panel. Sides are painted so no additional framing is needed.
