Cold and windy days have arrived and gets darker sooner. Autumn slowly turns into winter. I have been painting monochromatic portraits of my friend Domi for last two weeks. Painting portraits of Domi brought to me lots of thoughts and feelings about femininity. It is so important and precious for me to be a woman. Also it is very beneficial to be surrounded in every day life by wise and inspiring women. Femininity is an inner power of women. It occurs in their sensuality, sexuality, wisdom, creativity and sensitivity. Sometimes women forget how to access their inner power, their 'eternal source of Mystery that is their strength' as Sarah Ban Breathnath describes. Sometimes they do not even realize how powerful and magical they are. Women need to remember that femininity is always with them. We all have got such a big capacity to love ourselves and others. Being in touch with our feminine nature is an act of love.
The blessing of being
Be the power of fire, be magical
Be the power of water, be beatiful
Be the power of earth, be who you are
Be the power of air, be all you wish to be
The blessing of being
Be the power of fire, be magical
Be the power of water, be beatiful
Be the power of earth, be who you are
Be the power of air, be all you wish to be
So beautiful, Aga!

ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely gift of connection for you and Domi. It took me so many years to be comfortable describing myself as a woman -- I don't think I fully embraced the word until sometime in the past couple of years.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm learning what it means to me, to be a woman, and it's truly a powerful thing, as you say. Much love to you, dear friend. <3
Wonderful portraits with delicate feminine details, beautiful creations!

Love your portraits - so many women do not embrace the wonderful beings they are. I include myself - often I only see my flaws
