The Seasons
Imbolc. Oil on glass, 23"x35", 2019. The moon full in the night clear and Imbolc be near; eight things that are fierce and eight that we pierce.
The Horn Sisters: Easter, Froia, and Mab. Oil on canvas, 36"x47", 2019.
Beltane. Oil on tree bark, 27.5"x51", 2019.
Litha. Oil on canvas, 30"x39", 2019.
Lughnasad. Oil on canvas, 26"x40", 2019. We shake out our hair and stride forth on air. We wield the spear Luin against our numb ruin. We stare, in the mirror, and we like what we see there.
Mabon. Oil on canvas, 23"x30", 2019. Mabon be here, and we reap, with fear, that we have not done enough, that we do not have a place here. This fear we face, this fear we place upon our easels and try to be tough. We know in our hearts the journey may be rough, yet like weasels we twist and gamble, through our nightmares we lightly amble, hand in hand. We conquer only ourselves, never the land.
Samhain. Oil and gold gilt on canvas, 31.5"x41.5", 2019. On Samhain our altars we grow; Seeds we gather next year to sow; Beads a-clatter next month to sew. Hares leap and feet sing, blood drips and books we bring; Otters sniff and gators wait, a scorpion sits still at the gate. Adders coil and cats lick, we know, this time, our lessons will stick.
