Take It Slow | Oil Painting | Wild Feminine Art
“There is peace. There is wild. I am both at the same time.” Nayyirah W
Despite a deep desire for rest, there is always a fire within me...an undeniable pull to create. This month, I began a new painting with the vision of a woman sleeping beside a wolf. It felt like the perfect reflection of this season in my body: a need for stillness, held by instinct and inner wildness.
I followed my intuition, as I always do. I started with a simple sketch, then let the canvas guide me. With each brushstroke, new visions appeared: a soft white-pink moth, blooming lotus flowers, and a woman draped in a flowing blue gown. I painted her dress like movement...like water endlessly shifting, much like the emotions we carry.
When the painting was complete, its message arrived with clarity: a call to release everything that no longer nourishes the soul. A reminder to return to our wild, truest self… and to embrace her fully. It is also a love letter to the self, a reminder of your own beauty.
