“Unfurling Hope”
"Unfurling" Original Art on 20x20" Wrapped Canvas. Ready to Hang. This painting was such a blessing to create. After several wild and flowing layers of paint, I added the illustrations while sitting on the front porch with my kids (during homeschool observations). All of the botanical motifs were inspired by plants growing on the land around my home in the Southern Appalachian Mountains. The feather was the final touch inspired by the hawk that flew over while I was working on it. I looked up hawk spirit medicine and it had to do with vision. The title was inspired by the ferns that I love to watch unfurl. This is part of the "Growing Season" collection of paintings.

Flow Time Energy Art Playdate
☆ Flow Time ~ Art Play Date ☆ I often greet the blank surface as both a playground and a temple, a place to meet with mystery, explore the wonders, play with possibility, sing, pray, celebrate and co-create with the life force that flows through all! In this offering, I share how I created the “Expanding with Flow” painting. It has nautilus and turquoise energies within it that feel so healthy and potent. It's been great for me to look back at the video since I want to make more paintings with similar vibes, ease, and flow. It's available so others can join me for "Flow Time" as well. You will see how to create the soft, subtle nuances and harmony along with the playful pops of bold vibrancy. I'm thinking of it as a virtual art playdate that can be enjoyed anytime, anywhere. This one is easy to fit in to a single short painting session. You will receive:
  • Downloadable Supply List with links (you must purchase supplies separately or substitute what you have)
  • Introduction with Studio Tour, Supply Tips, and Inspiration Ideas
  • 3 edited Process Videos with detailed Instruction (approximately 30 minutes)
  • Prompts for further Reflection, Symbolism, and Exploration
This is the kind of painting that doubts may have prevented me from showing or letting be in the past. It's rather raw and very playful, yet also deep in symbolism and vitality. Making boat loads of paintings has helped me to trust my touch and tastes (at least most of the time). So, for anyone struggling with self doubt, I hope you can keep trusting your own joy, liveliness, and love. We are all human and there is surely someone else out there that shares similar vibes and can value you and your creations. In the meantime, keep choosing and loving yourself. And, hopefully, have someone who will cheer you on if you need it! Suitable for all levels of experience from beginners to more experienced painters who want to loosen up with your creative process. Participants are welcome to watch the videos in whatever time works best for you in this self paced offering. You can also download all of the videos to save for lifetime access (so no worries if you need to come back to it later). You should receive a confirmation email with a link to download the access information immediately after checkout. Please check spam folders if you do not see it. I hope you will enjoy feeling in the flow!

This is a Special Bulk Purchase Offer for ordering 6 or more copies of the book at once. *** This can be for gifts, resale, educational or charitable use. From the back cover of the book: You’re invited to Dance with your own Sacred Spirit, with Life and Delight. What if we lean in to life even with the messes and the mysteries to find the magic in it all? What if we untie the knots to feel free, full, and fabulous? What if we are the temples for the presents and presence of divine delight to shine through? Author Julia Ostara shares sweet, silly, and intimate stories as she invites us along on her journey of rejuvenation. After some winding roads and a few dark nights, she chooses to love and respect herself and life. Julia offers several ways to explore the wild wonder within and around us reminiscent of sharing stories or dancing around the fire to entertain, encourage, and empower one another. What if we fan the flames of vitality and pure joy while we get to play in the dappled sunlight at the edge of time? What if our inner tides flow in nature’s rhythm as we dance with the moon? What kind of world can we create if we share beautiful blessings with deep reverence? We are all worthy of joy! Delight can be ecstatic and exciting or strong and soft serenity and inner peace. Delight is a fascinating spark glowing inside us. See it twinkling in your eyes. You’re invited to a celebration in honor of your life!
