BUDS

BUD 2 ~ 'Sweet Friends' ©2015 Mara Berendt Friedman, 11" x 14"
SOLD

Golden buddha cat is tenderly held by noble earthstar daughter. Spirit hummingbird deeply drinks the sweet nectar of love... earth feeds heaven and heaven feeds earth... a great circle of nourishment! From her white crown flower sprouts 3 antennae of Sacred Feminine awakening, reaching into the swirling song of life, listening for notes of wisdom. She is embraced by a rose cloud-flower of protection. The sacred chakana symbol resides at her root, gifting her with grounded strength. The chakana, seen all over Peru, is also known as the Incan cross. This magic and ancient symbol has a myriad of meanings. For me it represents, among many other things, the four directions of Mother Earth and our open human heart residing at Her center.

BLISSFULS

BLISSFUL 1 ~ 'To Cherish' © 2015 Mara Berendt Friedman, 18" x 18"

Earthstar Daughter tenderly holds her beloved daughter. In turn mama and baby are held in the warm embrace of a cloud-flower as the music of life flows through and around them. Love within love.

My painting and haiku called "To Cherish" are inspired by the understanding that to cherish the love in our lives and the Beauty of this earth brings immediate joy. 

What's our greatest gift?
To learn how to cherish is
our heart's true harvest.

SPECIAL OFFER in honor of this month of LOVE

This original was created on Kauai during a winter visit a few years back. Two lovers embrace and become one... there is no clear boundary where one ends and the other begins. A passion flower glows ruby at their root and a golden flame ignites at their heart. Seated within a yellow temple-womb of sunlight and warmth, the flower of their love blossoms from their crown.

The TRINIDAD SERIES ~ NEW Paintings

Inspired by my sweet new love and a precious spot of land on the Northern California coastline...
I call this blossoming collection of paintings the Trinidad Series. My first 'blossom' is entitled Come Sail With Me and is pictured here... me and my beloved rooted by one arm at the edge of the world, flying like a sail in the wind above the sea... I am pretty attached to this first painting, so decided not to offer it for sale (it will be available as a limited edition giclee print soon.) As these whimsical images birth into form, I will be featuring them on my site for sale.
