Working On A Painting
I’m working on a painting that should be posted soon.
Here is a hint at the theme:
- North - Blue (defeat; sadness; trouble)
- South - White (peace; serenity; happiness; purity)
- East - Red (success; power; triumph; healing)
- West - Black (death; doorway to the spirit world)
- The Upper World - Yellow (peace & order)
- The Lower World - Brown (chaos & Turmoil)
- Here in the Center - Green (Where “you” are now)
