With all the COVID-19 health worries and the lockdown, it's given me some extra time to paint and plan. I decided it would be a good time to work with the 'Spirit of Frog'. In the Americas, Frogs were considered to be an essential tool of the shaman's tool kit. They were said to help with detoxing and cleansing the soul and body to bring about health. Whilst healing, they smudged with white sage to kill the viruses.
I've always had an affinity for frogs and as a child would often be found in ponds and streams up to my knees in water looking for tadpoles or frogspawn. My heart would fall when I'd find farmers had drained the stream to feed their cattle, leaving the frogs without their habitat. We had lots of frogs in our garden due to a tiny little wildlife pond I made.
I know many of you are worried right now. and fear can lower the frequency of our auric fields making us more susceptible to illness. So it's a great time to dust off those sketchbooks and paints and old pastimes we love and finish some of those projects or learn a new skill. I've been thinking for a while about writing a book - and this may just be the right time!
So stay safe and well.. Take loads of vitamin C, plant some seeds for the future... Who knows. This could be the making of humanity!
'Spirit of Frog' was created in March 2020. Oil paint on 20x20cm stretched canvas. Available as a limited edition and greeting card.
