In the old times, men revered women and listened to their wisdoms and marveled at their childbearing and nurturing and valued them in society.  These women were wise warriors and great leaders of culture.  The ancient calendar had 28 days each month, patterned after the woman's rhythm of menses, with 13 months and one day in every calendar. 

Each woman was a Goddess and she was a wizard with natural healing herbs  to increase health and vitality in all the people.  She was of cosmic proportions, friendly to the environment and to people.  This painting is a tribute to the Goddess in every woman;  how lucky a man is who has a Goddess watching his back!
