To celebrate Equinox tomorrow (12:15 EDT) I’m announcing that Atlas of the Year is complete, I’ve met my goal. I offer you a glimpse of the first few pages. This series of art for display, which will also be a book and a presentation piece begins with spring and east. I am publishing a journal for each of the seasons. Atlas of the Year, Spring, East, Journal will be available at the next Open Studio, Spring Into Art, April 28.
Spring East Journal, cover, by ©Kathleen O’Brien
Each season and direction begins with a page of the qualities of its time and place:

Each month has a mixed media collage.

Each month has a graphite drawing with sketches and notes about the time and place.

Then each month has a page with questions to ponder about time and place to help orient you. For the first month the questions are:
What ritual starts your day?
What is ready to be born in your life?
How do you respond to the prime energy?
Where is “one” noticeable in your life now?
How can Eagle help bring your spiritual values into each new day?
Is your life in balance? What needs tending to balance you inner and outer life?
Are you taking time to be serenaded by returning song birds, and nurtured by the fragrance of flowers?
Please contact me to tell me of your interest in learning more about the project!
