The Universal Seamstress at the Dawn of Time.
The Goddess Within series is inspired by real women. I have always believed that every woman has an inner Goddess but it might look entirely different to how she looks in real life. I have already said that I do tend to paint from the inside out, sometimes it makes things awkward because I have a real streak of perfectionism & I like to get the outside right too and sometimes, this is where things can go wrong.
This painting was inspired by a very lovely lady who works with children and families but who also is a seamstress. Her life is not easy but she always has time for everyone, friends and family & will do her utmost to make life easier for others, sometimes at the expense of herself! She is a proud lady, who knows all about the royal "we" and will use that if need be! Her crown of fire signifies her standing both within her life, her family and friends and in herself and the star sign of Leo, which of course as everyone knows is a fire sign. Her clock is fiery red, her dress golden with an ermine collar & dress cuffs, again underlining the royal "we". She stands in a stormy sea, which indicates that sometimes her environment is not easy, but she stands proudly & firmly because she is strong both inside and out & will not be moved by the choppy waves. It is dawn & the sun is rising over the mountains, which she has grasped firmly and pulled towards herself, this again indicates her outer & inner strength. She looks calmly at the viewer. A crescent moon in her right hand, threaded through this moon, which serves as a needle is a thread of sky with stars, these both indicate her relationship with the Universe, which, although she does not realise it, is in the palm of her hand. She is attempting to sew two of the mountains together. In real life she is always sorting everybody else out & so mountains will move for her and she does have this control.

| The Universal Seamstress at the Dawn of Time. |
This lady will not be moved by anything other than the beat of her heart. She will not be played with and commands respect but her heart is huge & her love endless. She is determined in her objectives, she can already envisage her goal. She is a true friend & her heart is as large and courageous as a lioness. She brings in a new dawn for many people & as we all know, it is always the darkest before the dawn & her courageous heart is with you there too, waiting in those dark periods before the light can be seen.
