First Up- Big Welcome to our newest member Itsuki-aoyama-4259! Looking forward to getting to know you and thankyou for joining us!
Apologies for not posting for past few weeks, we've had a family crisis and things have been hectic.
I'm going to be posting a meditation video soon. It is based on the work of Dr Dianne Divett's 'Refocusing Therapy'. I use it at the start of my workshops as a way for participants to connect to their creative selves and to also feel safe as we come together as a group.
I'll talk more about the meditation when I post, but I'd like to ask you all to vote in the poll if you haven't yet. Your feedback is really valuable in regards to how we grow as a community.
In the mean time, what has everyone been up to? Anyone want to share some of your art work or an image that inspires you?
I brought my first piece of art made by another artist this week! The artist, Soph Williams, has a really unique style, full of vibrant colours and detail. I've known Soph for many years but it's only in the last 6 months that we've been catching up regularly. She's great at self-promotion (an area I really struggle with) and is diligent about showing her art on her Facebook page. Her work often features her friends, family, flowers and patterns.
I fell in love with this piece! It brings me such a sense of joy when I look at it! Everything about it just warms my heart! My rule with buying original artwork has been I'd only buy art if its better than something I could make on my own. And while I could probably replicate Soph's style, I've never painted a piece that fills me with the same joy and hope that this piece does! I've hung it up in my bedroom.
If anyone ever told me that the first original artwork I'd buy was a picture of Jesus on the beach, holding a Bible and a baby with a little girl beside him, I'd think they were crazy! But inspiration speaks to our hearts, not our heads. And Soph's piece is feeding so much positivity to my spirit right now, it's wonderful!
