Medicine

30 January, 2025
Happy Holiday! Sharing this acrylic painting on recycled materials of flowers from my favorite hike, with St Johns Wort being the center focus, Fox and cubs, daisies. St Johns Wort can be made into salves and tinctures and is known to help with muscle strain, depression and seasonal affective disorder. In ojibwe one word you could describe this plant is mashkiki-medicine. During this long break have you been able to enjoy your good medicine? The things that make you happy I hope.

Painting the eyes in flowers makes me wonder would we treat trees and wild relatives different if they had giant blinking eyes looking back at us. It’s an interesting question to roll around in your head for a bit. It is a joy to be seen, and to have those in your life that truely see you❤️
