Honoring the Directions: The West
Acrylic on canvas, 12"x36"
In this painting, we witness the power of the West direction, keeper of the setting sun and bearer of transformation. The massive golden sun descends into its western home, creating a symphony of reds and blues across the sky and reflected over the water - colors that remind us why West is associated with life's sunsets and sacred changes.
Below the dramatic sky, a pueblo village rests in the western landscape, its adobe walls and blue door standing as guardians of this directional power. The West is the place of water, shown here in flowing blue streams that weave through the land. It's also the direction of autumn and dusk, captured in the painting's rich sunset colors and earthy tones.
As part of a series honoring the four directions, this piece speaks specifically to West's teachings: introspection, the letting go of what no longer serves us, and the wisdom that comes with life's transitions. The spiral patterns etched into the earth echo West's lessons about cycles and transformation and dance in ceremony to honor the west.
Every element here - from the setting sun to the flowing waters, from the deep blues to the autumn reds - tells a story about West's medicine and meaning. It's a visual prayer to the West direction, acknowledging its role as keeper of dusk, transformation, and the wisdom that comes when we pause to honor the sacred meanings of each direction in our lives.
This painting is a devotional piece that helps us remember why our ancestors looked to the West for teachings about change, release, and the beauty of life's eternal cycles.
