How to be creative & maintain your state of mind during the COVID-19 restrictions
Hello, Mom. Being creative with the isolation of ongoing physical distancing & restrictions during the COVID-19 state of emergency. How I am managing with the temporary changes and moving forward in unpredictable times. Staying grounded working in a tiny studio with what's on hand. The CN rail project & watching gesso dry is no less vexing in contemporary times. One way to address concerns such as anxiety and depression, especially as pandemic-related issues continue...Stay active, don't panic, take a breath, and create.
Amature/novice painter focusing on traditional Canadian images, painting with mixed media and materials. Isolation projects.
My painting was inspired by FREDA DIESING a Haida artist from Prince Rupert, BC / Canada. Her 'Wolf Design' 1978 Paper (H x W): 23 x 17 ½ in. As noted the Wolf is an important family crest. Revered as a good hunter, the Wolf was often associated with the spirit power a man needed to acquire to become a successful hunter. The Wolf is said to be the land manifestation of the killer whale. According to legend, a supernatural white wolf transformed itself into a killer whale and thus the whales show white markings and have a habit of traveling in groups as wolves do.
