The gifts of nature III

Before winter comes...

Poland

My time in Poland. Combinations of moments, glimpses of magic. Catching up with my friend Domi in Poznan-coffee and chat in the old part of the city, lack of traffic noise, the sound of church bells at noon, watching falling leaves at night and lots of our laughter. Cycling in the mornings in the park, walking barefoot on the leaves. Time with my parents and brother, sketching leaves and enjoying sun, warmth and autumn. Magic moments.

Inner compass

Sometimes when we feel that it is getting darker and darker suddenly the light appears. It can be a memory, music, treat of yoga, seeing a friend, moment of silence, leaf picked in the park,  child's whisper, solitude or walk in the woods. Then our hearts start to glow again. They glow with light. Maybe it is a power of life which brings us back where our hearts belong. Then our awareness raises and we feel that we are enough. 

Scott and I took a walk through the woods few days ago. I followed my inner compass and let myself go. It was when my heart started to glow again. When darkness disappeared...

Changes

Hello dear ones, my me time has shrunken a lot recently. I am trying to catch the beauty of autumn in the gaps of time and awareness . There is so much beauty in combination of light, colours, melancholy and changes. Hopefully I will get back to my painting routine again soon. In the meantime I have been playing with soft pastels. Wishing you all a great and inspiring week!

The gifts of Nature II

So simple, so delicate and so beautiful. Autumn.

September

Life. Is. Simple - when I look at the trees in the evening light, when I pick the leaves, when I listen to my heart, when I give myself time, when I smell an autumn air in the morning, when I act with love and kindness.
I started to paint again...

The gifts of nature I

Hello beautiful souls! Autumn is here. It has been a quite hard few weeks with lots of ups and downs. I decided to slow down a bit with amount of work which I am taking to be able to connect with myself again, with my needs and creativity. I did my last workshop at The New Earth Works. It was an interesting and inspiring in many ways experience. The most important was creating simple works using natural materials which gave me a sense of lost and found connection with nature. Also I have been working on commission painting for good few weeks now. It is nearly done and I cannot wait to start painting my pieces again. 
Have a lovely autumn!
