Art from my Soul: July 2013

Recharging my batteries

I came back from Cornwall and Glastonbury full of energy and wanting to create. So out came the paint brush and the knife to cut out some more shapes and low and behold my first picture. My guides have explained my new direction and I seem to be enjoying the relaxation I get from it and getting off the PC.I read years ago about artist talking about the light is different in different places and Cornwall demonstrated that, vivid greens and beautiful reds. I know that's me on the Tor at Glastonbury re charging my batteries. We also met a very spiritual woman in Looe called Deborah Tomlinson (check out her website www.holamaise.co.uk ) who had a fantastic, beautiful painting by an artist called Adrian Smith. Check out his website www.tremorranart.com.

Recharging my batteries

Tree inspired by Wells Next to sea

Before our holiday we went to Wells next to Sea to get away from it all for a few hours and found a lovely crystal shop that had opened that day. Anyway the walk through the walks inspired me to create these two pictures. Anyway I cut out the tree on yellow card and placed it in front of green card, it took me ages and I had to keep hiding it from Karen as I was creating it for her. I used a white piece of paper as a template to cut onto the card, hence the black background one. I love them both

Glastonbury

Sorry for not posting since May but I have major issues again at work, that have taken priority and then me and Karen went off to Glastonbury and then down to Cornwall. To say I fell in love with Glastonbury is an under statement. I loved the walk to the top of the Tor despite taking a very difficult route and the view and energy at the top is unbelievable. I would walk the Tor everyday if I lived there. We spent the next morning at the abbey, which after looking at the price was worth the visit and I felt at one here. After spending the rest of the morning shopping I was taken to the Goddess temple by Karen and it was absolutely fantastic, every town should have one. Glastonbury recharged my artistic batteries.
