About the Painting
 
'Into the evening, dusky illumination opens veils between worlds; Unraveling death and reintegration; visioning something new'
 
A mandala for the Celtic festival of Samhain, nowadays known as halloween. At this time of transitional threshold between Autumn and Winter, we release the things we no longer need, and set a positive intent for the darker months of dreaming coming in. It's a time to remember our ancestors, those loved ones who stand behind us on the road of life; giving thanks for their lives and all that we have recieved through their being. 
Oak and Birch form a pentagonal pattern around the central fly agaric fungi, which grows among the roots of Birch in a mutually symbiotic way.
