CHRISTINE GRAEFE DREWYER ONCE IN A BLUE HERON MOON

30” x 30” — Oil $11,000 It is not surprising for an artist to dream solutions to unsolved issues while painting, however, it is exceedingly unusual to get an entire painting delivered through the dreamtime. That is precisely what occurred in October, three weeks before the rare Super Blue Full Moon. I practice Native American Ani mal Medicine and interestingly, Blue Heron Medicine represents “self-reflection.” In this time of oppressive restriction, it seemed apropos that we all had our own universal moment to reflect on what that may mean for us individually and collectively.
