This is a painting of a family of weasels, playfully
chasing each other's tails. In many North American Native cultures, the
weasel is considered an animal with strong medicine or mystical powers, but it is
not always viewed positively. Some tribes consider him a bad omen and to
cross paths with a weasel meant a swift death. Here in Greece, my
adopted country, having a weasel around your home is considered bad luck, especially if
someone is getting married. In Greek mythology, the weasel was
transformed from an unhappy bride who loves nothing better than to chew
up wedding dresses. Yet, in Macedonian Greece, they are considered an omen
of good luck. Personally i think of them as very curious, playful and
mischievous little creatures.
