The pink dolphin in the center is pointing it's flipper to the North, good weather is said to come.(1) Moving clockwise there is a type of bluebird also looking up. There is an elephant with a seal, they share bodies, becoming something like an elephantseal - that in its own dominion is very aggressive and can make others uncomfortable. So, I take the painting imagery as a softer, interchangeable kind of symbol. It is also known for boldness (taking disowned kin to court), embracing discomfort, accepting assistance from others, making a noise for what you believe in (my inheritance, my money, not yours disowned Sisters).(2)
The hippopotamus is somewhat in the center and also moving more into my life at the end of the circle and represents great skills in problem solving, confidence, self-reliance and strength. It shows up in your life to let you know that you have all the resources you need to overcome the most difficult challenges in your path. This could mean that i am up to the challenge and will have the ability to find my way through, no matter what. Other meanings could be - hidden strength, protection from harm, intelligence and wisdom, stability and fortitude in the face of adversity, calmness in crisis and honesty.(3)
Other prominant feathers of this painting are:
Egg plant - peace & calm, letting go of resentment and frustration (4)
Red Belly Woodpecker- This is the one animal sketched beforehand. all other symbolism emerged while working with water and paint.
Woodpecker is telling us that even if something seems difficult to do, not to give up. To do what works, even if it is unconventional. To set your own pace, your own rhythm. PEcks away at the truth until is uncovers it.(5)
Chinchilla - Letting go of negatives to move forward is one of the most valuable assets the Chinchilla Power Animal offers. The creature supports you in rising above circumstances while relying on strategic maneuvers instead of allowing fear to rule.(6)
