Interior Design Ideas - Contemporary Cave Art, also known as Rock Art and Petroglyph Paintings

http://www.moderncavepaintings.com I am interested in symbols, rock art, and cave petroglyphs; this was was sparked upon travels in the American Southwest. Exploring Chaco Canyon, Bandelier, Mesa Verde, and Canyon de Chelly, I was struck by the solitude and mystery of these places.

In this video I talk about the reasons I paint petroglyphs. Behind me is my painting "Freedom Flight".

The symbols of the butterfly and hummingbird in "Freedom Flight" represent a lifting of the spirit. On an emotional level, flight can be about wonder. Who has not been in awe watching an eagle soaring high above the skies? "Freedom Flight" is a reminder to all of us to savor small moments of "lightness". It is in these moments we are most free and connected to our essence as human beings. http://www.moderncavepaintings.com/freedom-flight/

The third form in the painting is in process of morphing from one thing to another. The butterfly is usually regarded as a symbol of transformation because of its metamorphosis process. Here the butterfly is symbolic of celebration, lightness, and elegance in a time of transition. The Hummingbird speaks to self-discovery and finding joy as you savor each moment flitting from situation to situation. For me personally, it is a symbol of accomplishment, perseverance, and finding magic in being alive.
