![]() It has really helped me in the daily ritual of my art routine. Sometimes even my feelings of never looking back show up on the page, just like the girl here on this canvas!Ĥ) The feeling of accomplishment is huge! This is a four week course, and I have done this five times! Every single time, I get closer and closer to finishing with the entire group ON TIME! From my first time to now, I have learned so much! I love how we all close together and have a chance to show off our work! I am thankful Connie gives us that push and nudge to put ourselves out there. What will grow? A new face? Perhaps an Indian guide will show me the way through all seasons, with our time together ending, just like we say goodbye to the leaves in the fall.ģ) How I need not ever look back. I feel all warm and new-like spring waiting to sprout-when I paint. I felt much better expressing myself after getting it all on the page!Ģ) Art is my ray of sunshine! Everyone says I am their ray of sunshine. I had had a really sad day, and I was able to just let the sadness flow through the process of painting. This time around (Fall 2019), I discovered four things:ġ) The way that I grew while meeting myself on the page every day. Little surprises always pop up for me in this Painting the Feminine class. I am deeply grateful for yet another season to paint with Connie and this fantastic group of soulful and supportive PTF sisters from around the world. My direction literally shifted before my eyes or should I say through my PTF brush. I had created a "new red story,” one which was more integrated, more grounded and more empowering. It morphed from a strong, vibrant, sharp, high-energy story to something closer to my “blue story ” more flowing, calmer and with horizontal rather than vertical lines. However, during this season of PTF, my “red story” shifted. In contrast, my “blue story” is more flowing and horizontal, with cool colors, often taking the form of seascapes. My “red story” is typically made up of strong vertical lines in vibrant warm colors-almost like lightening bolts. This season I returned to my "red story" and my "blue story,” and I painted primarily in watercolor and in a small format. And yet, the personal transformation that I experienced this season was profound. As neither a participant, nor a painter was I as active this time, due to other priorities in my life. This fall was my fifth season of Painting the Feminine (PTF) and it was entirely different from any of the prior seasons. ![]() I have always felt the loving, protective energy of some divine forces surrounding me when making my intuitive art, and perhaps you who see it can feel that, too. My art pieces here reflect more transitions in my life there is grief, yet hope, explored and released here. Love and healing energy flows easily during the course, and its effects can be felt for a long time afterward, too. Both Connie and the circle of wonderful, wise women who have also traveled the Painting-the-Feminine journey, create such a sacred, safe space. ![]() Instead, each time has felt like a continuation on my life-long journey of healing and (re)discovering myself and my soul. ![]() At no time, has it ever felt like “the same old same old” to me when working through Painting the Feminine. And once again, it has astonished me beyond words with its capability to expand my mind, heart and soul. This is the fifth time I’ve been honored to take part in Painting the Feminine.
