"Roots of Life", representing the 1st chakra, reminds us of the basic elements that are needed to support all life. These include the elementals of the earth and the Four Directions - Earth, Air, Fire & Water - as well as all of the very basic forms of life that do not get honored, but are requisite in large numbers to support the existence of all higher life forms like vascular plants, large mammals and humans. We are happiest and we thrive in the Spirit of our lives when our basic needs of food, shelter, health and prosperity are met.

(No compasses, straight-edge measuring devices or Photoshop were used in the creation of these images. This is all done freehand.)

I ship canvas rolled in tubes only for larger image sizes - you need to stretch canvas over stretcher bars or hire it done. Large-size canvases stretched are prohibitively expensive to ship.
