Changing Leaves Moon - Waatebagaa Giizis

Grandmother Moon Series - The 9th Moon of creation

Waatebagaa Giizis, the Changing Leaves Moon, marks the turning of the seasons as the forests prepare for winter.

The brilliant colours of autumn are often seen as an ending, yet they also represent preparation, renewal, and trust in the natural cycles of Creation. Each tree responds in its own time, creating a landscape rich with diversity while remaining connected as one forest.

Grandmother Moon shines softly through the clouds, reminding us that even during times of transition, guidance remains present above us.

Unlike many of the other paintings in this collection, there are no human figures here. Instead, the forest itself becomes the storyteller. Every tree stands as a relative, quietly demonstrating resilience, acceptance, and the wisdom of change.

This painting encourages us to pause and appreciate the beauty found in life's transitions, recognizing that every ending creates space for new beginnings.
