Here is “Seed Moon Rising.” Seed Moon is one of the names given to the full moon in early spring, called that because it corresponds with planting time. I thought it a fitting title since I just planted my vegetable garden!
This is a painting of the rising moon in a star-strewn sky as a backdrop for the Tree of Life, which represents the interconnectedness and cyclical nature of all things. There is something about looking up at a full moon that makes me feel extra alive–no wonder it has been so completely enchanting to us humans as long as we’ve been here.
I especially love the little details in this painting–like the subtle shadows that show the rocky surface of the moon:
The varied brush marks and patterns in the star-strewn sky, and the harmony of the negative shapes between the branches of the tree:
And the patterns of circles in the foreground, echoing the stars in the sky above, reminiscent of pebbles and stones, and seeds planted in the earth.
I am writing on behalf of the Brunswick, ME Carl Jung Center. We are having a “thank-you” gathering for our volunteers in March (around 30-40pp) and the theme is “seed moon.” May I use your image (copy and paste) of “Seed Moon Rising” on our invitation? As you can see, it will just go out to a handful of people. I would be glad to pay you, but our budget is very slim.
Thank you,
Audrey McMorrow
