Every Morning

Available in my Etsy store in 2 different sizes.

Be Still

I've been pretty quiet for a long while... living my life, finding the balance of sharing joy and just experiencing joy...

As so many of you know, I love sharing about joy and spirit ~ for me I just needed to find the place of knowing what I would like to give to the world...

the question of:
what is the most powerful, loving thing I can give myself and others?

This little collection of art that i'll share over time is
all about celebrating every woman as the goddess she is
and honouring every part of her journey...

may you have a precious, awakening day
with love and light
Leonie

p.s. my etsy store is open again

Prints, prints, glorious prints

Now's the time to indulge that goddess in you... or start shopping for Christmas/Summer-Winter Solstice. I've got only one or two prints left of each artwork in my Goddess of Leonie Etsy store, and I would love for you to be the precious mama-bear of them!

Sale prices remain until sold out of stock - Free shipping on all prints, and second prints receive an additional $5 off. These prints are printed on a delicious A3 size 200gsm paper ~ 11 x 16 inches. (Original artworks are still 20% off also!) This is your chance to purchase prints or artworks from me for the rest of the year, as I'll be shutting up shop once stocks are gone to welcome change and adventures in India. I'm not sure when or if I'll be continuing to offer prints (especially at the A3 size)... so they truly are an exclusive set ;)

~ Aussies and Kiwis please contact me for special exchange rate sale prices ~

Email me at leonie@gmail.com if you'd like to bless yourself with one.

I see vivid, glorious prints, gleaming with Spirit, honouring the Goddess in you and adorning the soulful corners of homes all around the globe.

I see dreams blossoming true and our divinity revealed, dancing before us.

I'm off to dive deep into the day ~ a painting commission to complete, some writing to do and a photo shoot this afternoon by the river! An abundance of blessings in my life. :)

Love, light, joy, abundance,
Leonie

Moonlight songs

"The moonlight sang sweet tunes to her heart"
Original available on Etsy


And every now and again,
she stood with her bare feet on the earth,
caught in a shard of moonlight.

If she listened closely enough,
she could hear the moon singing
sweet tunes to her heart.

magical acts

Moon dancer (available on Etsy)

This lovely goddess came through me to visit my life last spring.
I remember rolling around in the grass,
breathless with joy as my hands, arms, face, torso, chest
danced in the paint and sang hues onto the canvas.
Her form and the story written behind her came once the paint dried.
She emerged just as she needed to, and has been hanging above my computer ever since.

She has been a little hidden in my alcove here, but lately has been frequenting more open walls in the house to be SEEN. (My house is a revolving art gallery)

She has emerged from her incubation period with a magical power:

She makes women dance before her.

Countlessly, my women friends walk through my house,
stop infront of her, raise their arms, and shake-a shake-a their glorious hips.

Last week two gorgeous sisters were gyrating divinely before her,
all three of them smiling the same little wild smile.

I am so grateful that so much magic is in my life...
and keeps spilling in...
from all directions, all possibilities,
seeping through my hands.

Often, I get down on my knees and give the most heartful thanks
that I am blessed with the creations that I am.
They have saved, healed and made light my life in so many ways.

I am off to catch a star from the sky...
one of my dearest friends is arriving for the weekend.

Let me play a little Nostradamus and prophecy this:
It is to be a weekend of souls connecting, nourishing foods, the beating drum, magical corn cakes, laughter, sharing in pyjamas.

I wish for you...
just this blissful moment.
some shake~a shake~a.
gratitude that takes you down on your knees to kiss the earth.
friendship adventures.

Gypsy Heart

Gypsy Heart Goddess
(prints on Goddess of Leonie etsy store)

In her heart, she longs to explore all the joys and possibilities of this splendid Earth ~

she dreams of garlanding herself in a sari in India
of the breeze floating by as she explores the back roads of Tuscany by bicycle
she longs to travel by canoe in Indonesia
to sing romantic songs in Morocco
she yearns to arrive, panting, at the peak of Macchu Piccu
and to dance a desert dance in Africa.

She longs to experience and explore this world,
to devour it whole,
to savour its beauty in her soul,
to be a part of this wondrous rainbow of life.

Her whole life, through and through,
she will be a discoverer of this world,
a lover, a documenter, a celebrator of its beauty and aliveness.

She is Goddess with a Gypsy Heart.

May she always remind of you the rapture of exploration ~ the delight of discovery ~ the Heart that loves this whole wide world.


With love,
with joy,
with five months until I experience INDIA ~ oh land of my aching dreams!
blissfully,
Leonie

Etsy opening

I invite you to the official launch of my Etsy store ~ http://goddessofleonie.etsy.com
(Click here for Original art and here for Art prints). You can purchase my original artworks through my little Etsy chapel of creativity, as well as, for the first time, fine art prints. (Australians, please note Etsy is in US currency).

At the door are steaming mugs of dandelion tea,
basketfulls of rainbow shawls,
round plates of caramel tarts,
soft, full blooms of roses,
flecks of bindis.

I invite you in with a hug of angel wings
and a great big smile ~
Thank you For Being Here.

Folksy, soulful, earthy music is playing...
Candles are lit, and the room is enchanted with joy.
Adorn yourself with your dreamiest outfit
and allow yourself to be filled up ~~~

(Please make yourself a cup of tea, put some beautiful music on, make yourself comfortable and enJOY)




I have spent some deliriously divine days with my hands streaked in paint,
putting into paint the dreams, visions and possibilities in my soul.
I feel so deeply blessed to be living my passion, and hearing my calling so strongly.

I offer these creations to you with open hands and open heart, in gratitude to Great Spirit and this magical world we live in. I offer these artworks as a celebration of joy, love and light.

May you always remember that Joy is an option.

From the Goddess in me, to the Divine in You ~
I honour you.

With love and light,
Leonie
