aura

Here is my latest painting "Aura"
I painted this aura after watching my friend Jan who practises Reiki ,working on another of my friends and giving her reiki healing.
I have always been able to tune in and see someones aura, but have not done anything with it until now.I feel the time is right for me to develop this and do something positive with it.While I have always been able to see auras, I havent known what the colours mean, so I am learning very quickly to 'read' the colours.

Calming and Healing, the green represents the healing power.The green glow around the 2 of them while the healing was going on was so bright and vibrant.
The yellow is the colour of inspiration and creativity, and also means easy going.
Violet is funnily enough connected with psychic power and of attunement with self.It also represents the nervous system.
The orange can be from experiencing stress.
The orange /yellow is a perfectionist.
The blue is very apt- it relates to the thyroid , also shows a caring , loving person, who loves to help others, sensitive and intuitive,
This painting will be relaxing to have in a room where you chill out,it is painted in oil onto box canvas which is 16in x 20in.

It will be ready to post in around 3 weeks time. and the cost is £140 including P+P in uk.

Floor Getting Done

Here you can see what we found when we took up the flotex that has been down for donkeys years-and then the new tiles going down-it will look stunning when it is finished.

They can be grouted tomorrow, although I have a student coming for a one two one tomorrow so I will see how we get on., It wont hurt to have a break from it really.

Nearly Finished!

Bill has worked very hard today doing the tiling--its hard to imagine that he has tiled the walls without using a tile cutter once! The tiles come on a hesian backing and you simply cut through to the required shape.

We will have to go to Hereford tomorrow because I have decided I want some more tiles putting up behind the bin under the worktop and we are a few short for around the windows.

Tomorrow I will grout the tiles while Bill has a well earned rest!

I am chuffed to bits with the result so far-might just call in Dunhelms in Hereford and check out the blinds for the new windows, the chap came and measured up tonight , so we will know the damage tomorrow! The house will be unreconiseable by the time we are finished!!

Commissions

I am working on 2 commissions at the moment-the glass portholes for 2 doors and a painting of a local church at Corley-neither of which is my usual sort of thing.

Ive made a start with the glass-Im experementing with some different colours which the client wants and I am emailing the different examples to her to see which she likes the best.

Jordan's Painting

You can see 10 year old Jordan concentrating really hard in the photo, he and his little 8 year old brother Kieron decided to put an owl in their painting, as well as some twigs on the ground, that had fallen off the tree! I love it when pupils decide to do things without being told,it shows that their imagination is working and that I have given them the confidence to express them selves!

Kierons Painting

This is 7 year old Kieron, he has made a smashing job of his very first oil painting, some very dramatic trees and a lovely sky! He decided he wanted an owl his paintng, and the result was great-a cartoon owl, he was really chuffed with the result!

He couldnt get comfortable to sign his painting and had us all in stitches as he kept changing position!

Some More Pictures from Childrens Class

This little star got more paint on herself than on the canvas-but she is only just 5 years old and Rivkah produced the most beautiful painting! David is putting the finishing touches to his painting by putting a moon in, he is only 7 years old and is Rivkahs big brother.

I have just had an email from Sarah, the childrens mum saying how much the children enjoyed their day painting with me-well all I can say to they is that they were a joy to teach and I look forward to seeing them again when they come next time with all the family!

The Childrens Class

As you can see from the photo we had some brilliant little artists in todays class!!! Jordan on the left has been to me twice before-all the others were new to it! Will post more later!!

Sparky

Been to the vets again this morning with Sparky for another long acting antibiotic and more painkillers.

He has been fighting with another cat and managed to get bitten on the other side of his rear end to last time-so he has had a matching pair of scars now!

He has been shaved off and you can see the teethmarks very clearly.

You would think he would have learnt by now.

He isnt too happy about being kept in the house, have got him another Felaway plug in to help him feel better-they are expensive but worth every penny!

Childrens Class Full

The childrens class this thursday 26th July is full--I have children coming from Litchfield, Telford and Ludlow--weather/flooding permitting!!!

We will be painting a version of ''Winter Wonderland''

The ages range from just 5 years old to 10 years this thursday-3 girls and 3 boys so a nice balanced class!!

Paintings

After finding myself with a free morning after all the floods, I decided to do some tweaking of some of my previous paintings.

There was just a few bits annoying me in each of these Winter Walk paintings!

I just altered the paths a little bit and added a bit more snowy foliage and Im very please with them now!

Still at it!

I am having a well deserved break for 5 mins after even more clothes sorting!
I have sent 3 black bags full of clothes down with Bill to the local cancer shop, and it looks like there might still be more.
I didnt even stop to cook dinner last night-instead we had a chinese take away and forgot the diet for once! Ive just finished off the spare ribs that were left over for my lunch!
Its one of those jobs that you wish you never started-the place looks like a bombs hit it-but it is nice to have some room in the wardrobes!

I will be at it all day I expect--I want to get finished so we can go off to Sunderland when our 2 nd grandchild is born-its due today.
Dont want to come back to an untidy house and Ive got a full class tomorrow so must stick at it--mind you it must count as exercise, so I may work some of the takeaway off!!!

Clifford WI

Here are the ladies of Clifford Wi getting ready for the demo , last night.Also pictured is the lucky winner of the raffle with her waterfall painting.

We had a lovely night and we managed to get home fairly early because the ladies allowed me to go first before they had their usual minutes etc!

What a start to the day

This beautiful bird flew into our patio doors this morning as we were getting ready to go to the class.It must have been attracted to the ponds.
Bill had never seen a kingfisher in his life-the only time I had seen one before here,it flew off before Bill saw it.
Unfortunately this one broke its neck when it hit the glass.
My friends son used to be a taxidermist and he came and collected the dead bird from the class. I do not like stuffed animals myself but kingfishers are so rare to see these days, I am glad that Dave is able to preserve this beautiful bird.
