Diving Into Flowers
This painting actually begun the Most difficult period of my life. I painted this while suicidal feelings flooded my consciousness after going through the darkest 3 days of my life. I was inspired to paint this by some crowes that were swooping over this quaint little storybook house and diving into the flowers that were in the front yard. I was so incredibly blown away by the action of these crowes; they literally divebombed right at me and then into the flowers. After painting this crowe I would later see a healer who prescribed some "flower" essences that helped me tremendously through the emotional pain. The painting helped me release the shock of the suicidal feelings as I dove into the painting myself. Crowes have always watched over me and I can always count on them to warn me of incoming danger and important things to watch out for.
