Moon Veil. Copyright Shae reid 2012
Moon Veil is a painting I finished this last week. I wanted to express the beautiful and sometimes torturous cycle of what I and so many women pass through on a monthly basis. Layers, feelings, emotions , joy, ups and downs. Things that need to be expressed, shared, written down, thought about, meditated upon, birthed a new, celebrated and worked through.
Sometimes feelings, pain and emotions that seem to have a hold over you, that you can't shake away or control. Sometimes we need to be very still, listen and think about these and why they are present.
I especially wanted to share this after being given the gift of watching an amazing film called The Moon Inside You ... a film that questions, raises myths about, challenges taboo's, asks the world about and celebrates the female cycle and the gift of life it can utimately bring.
A must share with your daughter ... and even your partner ... to understand you a little better! You can watch a preview HERE!!!!
She's powerful and thoughtful. Great piece:)
