The title speaks for itself; this painting offers much.
Unity and compassion between all.
The splay of the peacocks 'eyes' feathers around the central light are associated with wisdom and vision, and within the eyes I have accentuated them as heart shapes to add love to the message. The peacock itself symbolises the rising of the phoenix as you transform and get to know and love yourself better for who you truly are.
Interestingly, the peacock also destroys poisonous snakes, the snakes representing the basic reptilian brain - suggesting here the benefits of connecting more with intuition and empathy; often life-saving.
The feathers also show the pineal gland within the centre of your head (often depicted as a pine cone the shape of which is suggested here too) that helps you to see clairvoyantly.
The Deerhound offers the energy of lightning speed because they are incredibly swift in the way they move and as a spirit totem they hold the energy of integrity - much of which is needed in the process of knowing yourself well.
The Kestrel also offers mental speed, agility and grace to the viewer as well as infinite patience and ability to recognise opportunities and acting upon them at the exact right moment.
He is here to teach us to fully commit to our actions for the greatest success.
The spider helps to maintain a balance between the past and the future and gives us the sensitivities required to help us move creatively with the rhythm of nature herself.
The spider being here also helps you to keep focused on your journey to know yourself truly well, constantly reminding you when to let go and start again with a gentleness, strength and agility.
Available as a framed limited edition print run of 195.

A Giclee print on a beautiful paper:
Hahnemühle German Etching
This heavyweight paper has a slightly warm base tone and a strong mottled texture. It creates a print with strong colours and deep blacks that feel rich and high in contrast. This is due to the texture of the paper enabling it to hold more ink and capture the light. The German Etching is one of our heavier weight Giclée art printing papers. With its weight and strong texture this paper gives an artwork a handmade crafted feel. Hahnemüle German Etching is a robust Giclée paper, meaning it doesn’t tend to fray as much at the edges.
