Upon arriving, Catherine was first greeted by a dragonfly — a symbol of transformation and light — who lingered and playfully allowed her to photograph him. Soon after, as she began setting up her space to paint, a wasp landed on her paintbrush and refused to leave, as though claiming its role as a guide in her creative journey. Later that evening, she joined in the sacred fire drum circle, where rhythm and ceremony deepened the sense of awakening. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1081\" data-start=\"776\"\u003eThe painting captures this convergence of spirit, nature, and ritual. The fiery background, radiant mandalas, and watchful presence of the wasp embody both the intensity and the clarity of awakening. The dragonfly hovers nearby as a messenger of change, completing the cycle of guidance and inspiration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1425\" data-start=\"1083\"\u003eCatherine’s process combines oil paint with texturizing techniques using rice paper, creating a tactile depth that echoes the layered nature of awakening itself. Her signature gold-leaf border frames the piece with a sense of sacred artifact, elevating the subject into both a personal and universal symbol of resilience and transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1667\" data-start=\"1427\"\u003eA radiant oil painting with sacred geometry and gold leaf, \u003cem data-end=\"1502\" data-start=\"1486\"\u003eWasp Awakening\u003c\/em\u003e also reveals the beauty of the Fibonacci sequence embodied in the wasp — a timeless reminder of balance, harmony, and the natural order found within all creation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eFree Shipping in USA\u003cbr\u003eFrame and Prints are available\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Catherine Zanghi Fine Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46982901530836,"sku":"cz_ori_leg_wsp_awkng","price":1100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0775\/9816\/3156\/files\/cz_wsp_awkng_web.jpg?v=1759086486","url":"https:\/\/catherine-zanghi-fineart.com\/products\/wasp-awakening-original-painting","provider":"Catherine Zanghi Fine Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
