TIP OF THE MONTH

Aah, February! Month of inner warmth and LOVE. A bit more of this inner warmth nurturing during all this changing weather around us (in northern hemisphere at least) It’s still cold, though the days are lighter longer. We get a glimpse of the seasons ahead.

We get to wake up our vocabulary of emotions and feelings during this mix of frigid, wet days to bright, warm and sunny ones. It’s a fun time to look at how coloris an expression of emotion.  How these emotions can blend in to each other. How these mixes bring  gorgeous mixes of secondary and tertiary shades.

They remind me of the qualities of the basic elements. . .earth, water, fire, air. . .and how they blend in our physical bodies. . .bones, water, warmth, oxygenand are mirrored in our lives. Art easily allows us to connect with these elements firstly on a physical level as we connect with the materials through the skin of our hands. We physically move our hands and emulate the movementsof the elements. We can discover how the water moves, the speed, the quantity etc. Same goes with the other elements.

Directly when we connectwith these colors and movements our emotions are activated. What is it that that element moves in us. What are we feeling? How is that shifting. Do we get the feeling of too much. . .drowning. . .too little. . .thirsty. . .what is the feeling of balance in the here and now? How is this reflected when we zoom out of our personal space and into our world around?

After we have connected, and tuned in to our feelings, we might choose to think about what we may want to do to actively balance the elements in ourselves. . .in our lives. And so because these elements are mirrored in ourselves and the world around, we can appreciate that they guide us in an easy, practical way. Let the elements be your guide in feeling.

When you are feeling thirsty to let art express itself, know that you have Atelier Molenpad to come to monthly with others. Receive as much. . .or as little guidance and inspiration for your personal painting process. Receive metaphors in art first hand!

The next monthly intuitive painting club night at Atelier Molenpad is on Tuesday, February 26th. If you have been thinking about joining, but postponing. . .stop postponing! It is not sure how long this monthly course will be offered. Don’t miss your chance!
