Did you know this fragrant flower loves the night life? Her strong,  tantalizing scent fills the cool summer darkness when her blossoms open in the early evening and close their soft sweet petals in the morning. Originating in the tropical regions of Asia, let’s think about why this beauty, with its heady aroma, has become such a powerful symbol around much of the world. When we inhale any aroma, the smell is processed by the olfactory bulb. This bulb lies at the bottom of the brain, right next to the amygdala and the hippocampus, both of which help process emotion and memory. Sooooo…breathing in the aroma can help calm and clear the mind, encourage relaxation and release of tension. Is it any wonder jasmine has been cultivated for thousands of years for its healing powers? With sensual, essential oils to a variety of sweet scented, soothing and healing teas these tiny buds can alleviate aches and pains as well as calm the mind and spirit. The fragrance is also thought to help restore positivity and encourage self-confidence, self-acceptance and love. Ah, yes. 😌 So happy that spring is in the air! . . . #flowerartwork #flowerportrait #floweroracle #flowerillustration #portraitpainting #artwork_inspirations #artofplanet #jasmine #healing #healingpowers #healingpowersofnature #flowerpower #women_illustrators #bookcoverillustration #artandillustration #viralartspotlight #jasminetea #jasmineflower #beauty #illustration_seeking #springisintheair https://www.instagram.com/p/CMXUuwpHT1K/?igshid=17dy02gdz5xww

You need to take time to cleanse and remove negative today, and soon you should be able to see improvement. This is a time of relaxation, blessed solitude and purification. Emotions are high and so is spiritual sensitivity which is of great personal benefit. Admiration, trust and healing are all indicated. Be mindful of protecting yourself and not becoming gullible, especially falling for the same issue again by not learning from the past.

Magic, wisdom and a connection between all realms of life and death, humanity and the gods! Hazel in a nutshell. Hermes, the messenger god of ancient Greece carried a Hazel rod providing him the ability to travel between worlds. For others, the hazel tree was a symbol of protection, guarding again illness and evil spirits. Not only is the fruit of the tree good for you, but the bark was also used for treating a variety of ailments. The number nine is associated with the Hazel tree in many Celtic tales and old-world lore. Is it coincident that it takes nine years for a hazel tree to first flower? Respected for its many magical qualities, this nut was sewn into a sleeping cap for a good night's sleep. And where did the saying put on your “thinking cap” come from? Sew some hazel twigs into your favorite hat and you'll be wearing one! . . . #hazel #hazelnut #witchhazel #flowerportrait #floweroracle #magic #hermes #iamginefx #imaginefxmagazine #flowerillustration #digitalart #women_illustrators #thinkingcap #artandillustration https://www.instagram.com/p/CNF2w69nMwT/?igshid=1sqfyzlxd7143

Did you know that this lovely beauty, Strelizia, is the official flower of Los Angeles? Did you also know this beauty it has a play as well as a movie named after its most common name? Bird of Paradise, the 1912 play was transformed into a tropical romantic drama in 1932 featuring the very exotic and lovely Delores Del Rio. Filmed in Hawaii it featured a scandalous scene of Del Rio swimming naked. Oh my! Sadly, Del Rio’s character ends up jumping into a volcano. But lucky for us, the Bird of Paradise plant, a nectar fountain for hummingbirds, thrives. Is it any wonder that this sultry native symbolizes creativity and uniqueness? From past artists, like Georgia O’keefe, to today’s artists, it continues to inspire artists of all mediums. I certainly am one of them. ☺️ . . . #flowerartwork #birdofparadise #strelitzia #deloresdelrio #portrait_lovers_united #illustrationartists #bookcoverillustration #women_illustrators #floweroracle #tropicalvibes #georgiaokeefe #womenofillustration #illustration_daily #portraitpainting #digitalillustration #beautiful #likeabird https://www.instagram.com/p/CMAUl3BHRa4/?igshid=8g5osdydxljx

Looking for signs of spring? In March, in America, the National Park Service makes ‘bloom predictions.’  The sensational spring Sakura is a symbol of renewal, a celebration of friendship.  This delicate and ephemeral vision is short-lived however, and also reminds us of the fleeting nature of life.  A gift from Japan in 1912, a variety of cherry trees landed in Seattle and made the long trek to Washington D.C by train.  You might think that Japan, or even Washington D.C, might hold the title of “Cherry Blossom Capital of the World.” Nope. That title goes to Macon, Georgia, home to over 350,000 Yoshino cherry blossom trees!  All over the world people celebrate these visually intoxicating and deliciously scented blooms. While we wait until their arrival , why not take a moment to stop, breathe, and appreciate this one day closer to spring. 🌷🍀🌹 . . #flowerartwork #bookcoverart #illustration #sakura #cherryblossom #floweroracle #ditalart #digitalportrait #japanesefashion #spring #illustration_seeking #signsofspring #womenillustrators #portraitartist https://www.instagram.com/p/CL10Gb4nx9R/?igshid=1i6fjetrmsoz

Do you have a kind and generous personality? Are you the creative type? Then you will be inspired and encouraged by the deep colors of this beauty. Of Central/South American origin, the fuchsia flower is also known as Lady’s Eardrop.  Lush and lovely, an intoxicating beauty, she symbolizes overflowing abundance. It was common in Ireland and Scotland to make a fairy from the flower. The petals form a skirt and if you take out all but two of the stamens two ‘legs’ remain. I think she conjures up sublime loveliness and imagery without the removal of her extra ‘legs.’ 🧚🏽‍♀️ . . . #fuchsia #flowerillustration #flowerartwork #flowerportrait #bookcoverillustration #illustragram #womenillustrators #digitalpainting #floweroracle #imaginefx #imaginefxmagazine #beautifulbizarremagazine #illustration_seeking https://www.instagram.com/p/CLw45dnn6N3/?igshid=9wz0gpun5eih
