4 Crows Mosaic by Naquaiya

"Four Crows Mosaic"

miniature work, mosaic series
6" x 4"
Essdee Scratchboard Panel

Every day I feed the crows. If I'm a little late, I hear about it. Sure they like bread, but the also enjoy cat food left for cats, who, if aren't fast enough, get duped by the crows. Crows count, they talk and they are intelligent. This mosaic miniature series is giving me ideas to do this in bigger oils. Early influences of religious art are definitely at play here.

El Día de los Muertos by Naquaiya

"El Día de los Muertos"
original oil on gallery wrapped canvas
12" x 16" x 1 1/2"
$200 + $10 s/h

From my pain and sorrow comes a joy of remembering. I lost many wonderful, beautiful horses over the years. Some were in their prime and some were aging. I call to them from joy and speak to the lovely memories they have given me. I entice them with a carrot and secret plans to bridle. The Cactus dance at the sight of them as they gallop over the landscape towards me. The mountains glow with excitement. Shall we trail off to the horizon with the moon at our backs? We will be together again; as it was in the best of times.

Mandala Face Summer

Mandala Face Summer
original gouache on pastel paper
11" x 8"

I'm loving these summer days and the weather is so superb I shiver at the thought that it may end soon. Every day has been glorious--sun, big sky, beautiful blue, clouds, sailboats, fishing along the river, festivals and sandals. The air is by contrast crisp and refreshing. This mandala speaks of summer to me. Perhaps it will talk to you. When I sit down with my paper and colors, it's a very theraputic process. Mandalas heal.
