Description

Turn
*****
A breeze blows. The bird turns its head. The leaves are turning, and the earth is turning. Time to turn. A Colorado Steller's Jay, deep blue, perches on an aspen branch, searching for sustenance during the changing season. The autumn leaves have gone to warm gold , and cold weather cannot be far behind. Ever alert, the mischievous mountain jay is aware of your presence.
*****
September and October are the months when the people of Colorado drive to the mountains to view the vivid changing colors of the aspen trees. I am lucky enough to be living in the mountains, so I don't have to go anywhere, or at least not far, to view this spectacle. There are aspen trees just outside my studio windows, and I am perpetually surrounded by blue jays hoping for a handout.

I used a very limited palette on this painting, and mixed colors to create color harmony. I'm finding it can really be fun making different paintings using the same basic drawing, but giving it a different interpretation or trying a different approach, to create a unique feeling or impression. The narrow, vertical shape of this painting helps it to fit in many spaces, such as entryways, columns, and narrow spots in the kitchen or bathroom. The earthy colors glow next to wood. If you compare this painting to Steller's Jay on Aspen, let me know which one you prefer, and why........

Is the Mountain Jay your spirit animal? According to:
http://www.starstuffs.com/animal_totems/dictionary_of_birds.html
Stellar's Jay teaches lessons of adaptation to any situations and learning quickly with a high intelligence. He gives access to memories long forgotten and shows how to assimilate them into awareness. He demonstrates risk taking, seizing opportunities and discovering new avenues for exploration. He will show the power of intelligence and fortitude balanced with discreet silence and utmost patience in timing. Bold and inquisitive Stellar's Jay has a penchant for investigating, adapting and learning new ideas and concepts. His creative intelligence uncovers sacred interconnections with all things. Mental growth aids spiritual growth. The energy centers of the head may become activated due to the increase of new spiritual knowledge. Pay attention to dream time as traveling, journeying and body sensations which will give new insights. Connect with Mother Earth. Stellar's Jay also demonstrates that anything of value, spiritual growth and relationships takes work. It is daily activation of internal resources, let Stellar's Jay show how it is done. Knowledge is collected so future wisdom comes to light. Is it time to set new goals? Envision it and pick the pieces into small ones to completion. He supports strong communication abilities often with sharp jabs. Exercise judgment, care, and diplomacy. The opposite may be true as well. Is it time to be forthright to finally "crack" the issue open? Stellar's Jay shows that a balanced diet is needed. The time period for Stellar Jay's lessons starts manifesting within 17 days. His medicine culminates quickly 18 days later. In one month, emotional and spiritual maturity is noticeable and bonds are strengthened. Lessons now have a life span of nine years or more. This is very long lasting transformative time.
