Terra Luna One

Terra Luna One is a New Earth, which may be just a dimension away. It’s the place where we create our own world of mystical mountains, vast horizons, and flowing streams. Also, here in our creation, we can return often to discover new parts of ourselves, explore deeply, and know we are in a safe haven.

With this painting, and the New Moon, I feel I’m on a new Spiritual Path. First of all, I look to the ancestors, the painters I love from the past, to study, learn, and grow as an artist. Students used to set up easels in museums, and paint like the Masters. I don’t think we need to copy them stroke for stroke to capture the parts we love.

I study the mountains of Maxfield Parrish, the pastures of Andrew Wyeth, and the soft atmospheres of J.W.Turner. These masters of art teach me through their art. Terra Luna One holds a little bit of inspiration from these artists I love.

Secondly, I’m drawn to the mystical mountains, the Guardians of the land, majestically rising over all. I live surrounded by rolling distant hills, seen even better now that Fall has arrived. They are ancient, first creations on Earth, connecting the Heavens with the land. As above so below.

But, I’ll never forget traveling on the highest mountains of the West, on the road to Telleride. We paused to watch the dancing ravens, look down on the deep mountain lake, and experience the Silence. Not a sound of anything. This Silence was profound, deep, and so Spiritual. A stillness so complete, it penetrated every part of my being. I touched the Sacred.

Magic lives here. Legends of ancient races of Elves, Giants, and dwellers of the mystical inner Hollow Earth, come from places like this. Deep within lie crystal caves, hidden rivers, and ancient rock art created twenty feet off the ground. Mountains were the homes of the gods, Origins of sacred waters, and most of all, places of dreaming and healing. New Moon takes me deeper within the mystery.

Thirdly, I’m deeply drawn to the Heavens. Celestial star maps are fascinating, and will be entering into the art. These Phenomenon are seen so clearly on cold, dark nights and especially on mountain tops.

I sometimes get up before dawn, bundle up, and just head out to the driveway where there’s an amazing world moving across the sky. The Milky Way is clearly seen as the Great White Way of the Mayans. Giant Bear ambles along as the big dipper, while satellites flow in all directions. Orion stands tall, with his cauldron triangle at lower left, birthing new stars and civilizations. If I’m lucky, a brilliant shooting star will be my gift of the night.

Terra Luna One is a new earth full of potentials.

So I invite you to join me on this new Spiritual adventure. Let’s learn from the ancients and carry on the art traditions of many lifetimes. Accompany me on a new journey to the Sacred Mountains of the World. Enter the Silence and touch the mystery. Like the ancients, let’s explore and discover the deep healing of the Dreaming Places.

Plus, remember to look to the Heavens for the path to Magic. Find the dark skies near you, and visit often. Here, we seek our own personal revelations and inspiration. It’s time to listen deeply for the whispers of the gods, and hear oracles of prophecy.

Make Terra Luna, the new Earth, your own.
