Tree Frog Healing Mandala Original art print by Di

Title: "Frog Mandala" (Dot Toes)

ARTIST'S STATEMENT
This is a delightfully whimsical frog composition where the frogs are presented in a Mandala circle, whose archetypal symbolism, in creation, becomes spiritual and sacred.

The dot patterning created by the toes of the frogs are slightly reminiscent of aboriginal dot-painting which symbolise a personal and intricate connection with the land. These dot patterns form the star of David symbolising the 6 days of Gods creation of the planet, or a 6-pointed star which is often associated by the alchemists with the symbols of Fire, Earth, Air and Water, these elements are shown in the corners of the image by the large corner frogs (red for fire, blue for water, green for earth and yellow for air). 

In the mythology of many cultures frogs are linked to cleansing, healing and creative powers. Their metamorphosis from tadpole to frog is often used to symbolise the awakening of ones creativity and recognising one's own power of adaptation. Frogs are naturally symbols of a peaceful, harmonious coexistence and interdependence with nature. Frogs  because of this sensitivity serve as a strong lesson about our own interdependence within a fragile eco-system. Teaching a connection with the earth and everything on it. It is an image that reminds you of the fragility of the planet and the wonder and magic of its creation. It is a reminder to find and enjoy the beauty of what surrounds you, making this a wonderful healing image to be placed within your own home, or an incredibly meaningful image to be given as a gift.

Folk wisdom tells that dreaming of a frog means
good fortune, happiness and great friendships.
May your dreams be filled with frogs
