108 Bead Mala Necklace with Storage Bag - Obsidian, red jasper and pyrite Store A new dawn

A new dawn

Much later it occurred to me that this painting is about inner peace

which was a mystical take and an attempt to paint the soul of the mountain

This was a vision that came to me in the midst of an ayahuasca ceremony

I started this piece at Beloved festival in the summer of 2018
