Happy Spring everyone! This is the fifth piece in my Wheel of the Year series. Early spring flowers join a leaping March hare and day and night stand balanced. This is now available in my sh🌸p as both a print and a holographic sticker! Link is in my bio. 🐇 I'm heading out to the beach this afternoon for my Druid Grove's Spring rite. It's cold here but sunny and beautiful. I hope your first day of spring brings you peace and renewal. #Pentacle #Spring #springequinox #Balance #Pagan #paganartist #Paganart #wheeloftheyear #Aries #marchhare #rabbit #bunny #hare #daffodils #sun #moon #watercolor #artprint #sticker #holographicstickers #womanartist #traditionalart #handpainted #drawingdownlore #ostara https://www.instagram.com/p/CqBDIxfu1ZU/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My Taurus painting is still a #workinprogress . I appreciate everyone who's been following its progress in my stories. For the last couple weeks I've been waking early to give myself an hour to paint before work. It's made a huge difference. I get more done, I put my artwork literally first, and I start the day happier, doing something I love. I'm not hoping to have enough time and/or energy left at the end of my evening to paint and beating myself up when I don't. Now this chronic night owl just needs to go to bed a little earlier. #workinprogressart #taurus #venus #forest #earth #earthsign #paganart #zodiac #witchesofinstagram #witchart #paganartistsofinstagram #constellationart #zodiacexperience #bull #whitebull #goddess #goddessvenus #witch #pagan #sunsign #astrology #birthchart https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp_Rn0Brny8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Good morning Lovelies! Happy Eponalia! December 18th is the feast day of Epona, the Gallo-Roman Goddess of horses. 🙏🐎 Epona was the first deity on my shrine, when I became a Pagan back in 2005. This piece is from 2018, it was one of the first cards I painted for Tarot Equus. 5 years later it might be time for a re-do, even just to see how far my artwork has evolved. #epona #goddessepona #eponalia #thehighpriestess #tarotart #tarothighpriestess #tarotequus #horses #rescue #horserescue #equineart #equineartists #horse #paganart #paganartistsofinstagram #witchesofinstagram #paganartist #olderart https://www.instagram.com/p/CmUL59dLyiI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I've been reflecting tonight. My life has changed a lot in the last year or so. I finally moved from being a part-time museum educator to a full-time position. I got engaged, then married a kind, gentle, loving partner. I'm in love and excited for the life we're building together. I'm exploring my spirituality in new ways and with new folks. It's quite a lot of changes for a steady, deliberate Taurus, but they're all good ones. I only have a small following here, but if you were wondering where Drawing Down Lore has been up to while I've been off Instagram... well, that's what I've been doing.

Up until now I've been very uptight and nervous about how I use this platform so every post has felt like a chore. I'm going to try to stop doing that, and just be. I want to stop stressing out about it and just share what I'm doing. I'm not a carefully curated, well put-together sort of person and I don't want to pretend to be. I've thought about doing Livestreams from time to time to chat with all of you but makeup is a frickin' chore... Thoughts?

Sitting down to work in a freshly cleaned studio corner. My husband Paul and I are on a major home decluttering project, trying to make our space work for what we both need. #artist #artistlife #newlyweds #studio #artstudio #homestudio #art #declutter #organize #marriedlife #marriedlife💍 https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck6w1qOLO1e/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Shining Lady, full and pale, Begins to pull a midnight veil, On face both beautiful and scarred, And dance her way through burning stars. She bids her children hidden far, Among the chaos, strife, and war. Let go of anger, fear, and pain, And send it off as Lady wanes. #drawingdownlore #art #moon #luna #waningmoon #moonart #wicca #witchcraft #witchesofinstagram #waninggibbous #lunarmagic #moonmagick #moonmagic #watercolor #watercolorpainting #poetry #poem #letitgo #painting #illustration #series https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck4gvzyNmVh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
