This one has been in my head to get down on canvas for a looooooong time. It feels good to finally get it down! I had some trouble with the lower part & how to get it to depict a thick Grove of more trees. It finally came to me AFTER I asked an online painting forum. That's how it usually works for me. Ask & then the answer comes. I love her stance. It says "Look how strong I am. Look at my children. They are strong & wise because of me."

Sweet Grass
I am all about the sacred herbies this year. Did I mention I am an Apprentice Herbalist? Totally! I am training with Kathleen Wildwood of Wildwood Herbs here in Madison. My first class was last Wednesday & in one hour's time, I learned soooo much! She pointed out 30 wild growing herbs & their uses. Did you know violets are editable?! Totally! They are high in Vitamin C & antioxidants! Every time I see one on my walks, I ask the plant for a leaf. Kathleen is very much into the communing with plants & I found this book titled "Ask Mother Nature" at the library that is proving to be a very interesting read. You should check it out!
White Sage
I planted six White Sage seeds about one month ago. I had almost given up that they would germinate when not one but TWO did finally germinate. You can see more photo's of this years Gardening Adventures on my flickr feed.
