Set Your Sails High
© 2023 Patrice A Federspiel
Set your sails high for skies that are clear
Let your mind wander both far and near.
Let your mind wander, let your mind play,
Who knows what might happen later today.

The Tide is Turning by Patrice Federspiel
Regular price $3,600.00Original watercolor - unframed
33" h x 20" w
"This image might be a little premature in its enthusiasm." shares Patrice. "I was surprised when it came to my mind. I’ve since come to realize that everything is made up of small components. Every Little Thing Matters.
Take a breath, take a step, think a thought, take an action. As long as your breaths, steps, thoughts, and actions are all leading in the direction you want to go, you’re on your way to arrival."
The Evolution Revolution by Patrice Federspiel
Regular price $2,600.00Original watercolor - unframed
22" h x 22" w
Ever feel like you’re spinning your wheels, or going around in circles? If so, this image is for you!
Evolution takes time and it often takes repetition. Give yourself a break. It’s not easy to change course or to change your mind. We’re creatures of habit. This image gives you the opportunity to see your patterns, to make a conscious change in the way you look at things or the ways in which you do the things you do. Your decision is easier when you’re aware of your patterns."
It's in Our DNA by Patrice Federspiel
Regular price $1,650.00Original watercolor - unframed
30" h x 11" w
The molecule of life, now known as DNA was first identified in the 1860s by Swiss chemist Johann Friedrich Miescher. Since that time, scientists have devoted countless hours to furthering our understanding of how this amazing double-helix ladder of connections contributes to our lives.
My use of this structure is to point to our continuing evolution as a species and in our abilities to continually find new ways to work together, in collaboration with all life."
Journey to the Heart by Patrice Federspiel
Regular price $3,600.00Original watercolor - unframed
20" h x 33" w
"This is currently the logical conclusion to this Paradigm Project," shares Patrice. "There may be more to come, but for now, when we journey to our heart of hearts, we relax and find our way.
Heck yes, it’s scary to recognize that we’re in the middles of a major paradigm shift, AND we’re in the middle. We don’t know where it will take us, we don’t know how we’ll feel when we arrive. For now, it swirls around us. If we spend more time centered in our heart of hearts, we will survive to thrive once more in brand new ways."
Dynamic Tension by Patrice Federspiel
Regular price $4,550.00Original watercolor with koa frame and blue mat
33" h x 40.5" w
Patrice shares, "“Dynamic Tension” occurs when complements of similar or equal value (darkness/lightness) abut one another. Here the painting creates an optical illusion as it seems to bend in on itself, appearing almost three dimensional.
Rather than view our differences as obstacles, it’s time to see the ways in which our disparate views can enhance one another, rather than tear us apart. Thus, leading to optimizing our vision and possibilities."
Universal Energies by Patrice Federspiel
Regular price $3,400.00Original watercolor in white frame
22.5" h x 22.5" w image - 28.5" x 28.5" framed
"This image came to me in a dream in the midst of painting the paradigm series," shares Patrice. "A paradigm is an underlying thought pattern shaping the world in which we live, so while this painting is decidedly different from the Paradigm Paintings, it is related.
Although the dream image was black and white, the colors are essential. As with the Paradigm paintings, it was important to keep the colors bright. While there’s no comparison to the images we’re receiving from the James Webb Space Telescope, this piece holds the energies of the universe.
We can either spend our times noting our differences or noting our similarities. In the end, it doesn’t really matter. We’re all made up of the “same stuff” put together in myriad ways. We are all interconnected."
Unity of All Things by Patrice Federspiel
Regular price $2,900.00Original watercolor - unframed
23" h x 23" w
When we only see our differences, we miss our similarities. Awareness gives us the opportunity to shift our focus and to look for the things that unite us. Threads of similarity unite us, no matter how many fences we erect to keep us separate and “safe.” We are far more similar than we are different."

The Art of Compromise by Patrice Federspiel
Regular price $3,600.00Original watercolor - unframed
22" h x 30" w
Sometimes when shifting patterns, we dip a toe in the water to see how it feels. We might quickly withdraw said toe or swim for a while in the new pond. This do-si-do continues while we adjust our ways of being and living. These in-between times call for the Art of Compromise."

Inner Reservoir by Patrice Federspiel
Regular price $1,800.00Original watercolor - unframed
30" h x 11.5" w
"Behold the trunk of a Traveler’s Palm, also known as the White Bird of Paradise, or by its scientific name, Ravenala," shares Patrice. "The paddle-shaped leaves of this plant form a large fan as the plant grows.
The lore is that the leaves funnel water down into the trunk, creating a reservoir of water for drier times to come. It’s said that if you’re traveling and feeling parched, tap into the trunk to find water.
Whether or not the lore is true, we all have an inner reservoir of strength. Also known as resilience, we simply need to remember its presence and call upon it in times of need. May this image remind you of your own vast stores of inner resilience."
