I am still around just been busy. :)

I had a dream and then a vison while awake so I tried to create what I seen and learned in this art. :)

Actually, what stuck out in my dream and after I woke up was the words white willow wolf. I kind have figured out the meaning just not the purpose of it all yet.

Very nice, Liana.

I get a very serene feeling from your picture.

I like the background color of the first one best. It gives a more serene feeling for me. It reminds me of pottery colors.

Those images are really nice.The first color set is more antiquish (is that even a word?) looking to me and i like it better but both are awesome.I like older things though.Even my wife says i should have been born in the fifties and she is probably right.

I was going to say watch out for white wolves by the willow tree. :)
I believe Indian lore holds the dog or wolf as a true friend there for companionship, a warning device, and if necessary even food sources.

If you do not mind me asking are you of a certain tribe of American Indian?

Thanks everyone. :)

@ Lyle :rofl I won't worry about the silver bullets.

@ O. I like your bowl.

@ Rod and PM..My grandmother on my mom's side was adopted as a baby. We do not know her ethnic background. She had darker skin and hair than the rest of us but then the irish on my grandpa's (mom's dad) and my dad's side shows up. Other than that I am just a european type white girl. :rofl

Even as a child I have always dreamed and it seems I am able to 'know' or communicate with my animals on a level unlike the rest of my family except one niece. :)

The willow in celtic lore means healing, love, and protection. The wolf from what I have read so far is a teacher along with what you said Rod. Both the wolf and willow are ruled by the moon. :)

It was associated with healing because they called it 'witch's aspirin' because it cured so many things. then someone looked into it and found that the bark contains salicylic acid, otherwise known as aspirin. it's a legitmate medical cure.
Dreams can be very important. I had some very weird and very prophetic ones when i was in the hospital after my biggest stroke back in 94.
