Welcome to November. . . 

Let’s for a moment examine the cause and effect of trees releasing its leaves and what we might learn from this. We are all pretty aware of the cycles of nature. Leaves, which capture all the nutrients from the light all spring and summer, are released in autumn in preparation for the winter months. During these months all the nursing energy will come from the ground up and nourish from inside out. Trees ‘know’ that as part of the cycle, spring will rebirth new leaves once again.. . .making it easy now, to let go of these precious leaves. It does so in such a celebratory way too! Like color explosions to the ground.

Please give the tip of this month a go and do contact me if you would like some individual guidance into your next chapter!

Our tip this month: Experience through painting, Grounding explosions of color. 

1. Squeeze out some orange, yellow and browns on a paper plate.
2. Set up a sheet of paper (or open your sketchbook to a new page). Just as in the video, use your fingers to dabble the paints onto the paper. Start at the top of the paper and dabble your way down. Imagine these are leaves of the tree making their way down to the ground. Repeat this movement starting at top to down.
3. When you feel done, set your painting upright and take the time to look at it. Squint your eyes. . .What do you notice? What does it feel like? What does it look like? What shapes do you recognise? You can rotate your paper upside down and ask the same questions.
4. For a bonus. . .are you willing to transform this piece into it own new chapter? Yes? Then go ahead and smear it all together and see intuitively. . .what’s next! Again contact me with any questions or insight. . .we can also make an appointment in person or virtually to read your painting together. . .
