A Movement Meditation: A breeze through a field, a blue sky, the call of a bird.

Oil paint on French linen and hung by cotton thread

Each line of colour was painted after spending time in the Somerset landscape around Wells Cathedral. Calling in the energy of the land and translating it through line, movement and time onto the canvas.

This quote from Gabrielle Roth @5rythmns dance makes sense of the art I am making.

“Energy moves in waves.
Waves move in patterns.
Patterns move in rhythms.
A human being is just that
Energy, waves, patterns, rhythms.
Nothing more.
Nothing less.
A Dance”

Mother and Child Oil on Canvas Work in progress,

Mother and Child
Oil on Canvas

Work in progress, I am waiting to paint the third layer of Coerulem blue oil paint.

I painted this after spending time with my granddaughter and noticing the feeling of holding her and then remembering each of my three children and holding them for the first time.

I find myself now sitting with my Dad who is dying holding his hand as if for the first time. In this time between worlds I am noticing how I can gaze at my father and look after him, that time has slipped into one I remember from when my children were first born, and reminds me too of all the times I look up at the stars with awe. When I experience being a part of everything from the tiny seed to the expanse of the universe.

This painting is about this timeless feeling, this gaze, unconditional love, tears; holding a vibration of beauty, peace and acceptance.

‘The Artists Way’ by Julia Cameron. What spar

‘The Artists Way’ by Julia Cameron.

What spark of Creativity is calling you?..that little something you have been yearning to do but don’t have time for…aren’t good enough…isn’t you?

Jessica Mallock and Debbie Tregloan have been using The Artists Way by Julia Cameron together for a few years now and would love to invite you to join us.

Whatever your level of creativity isn’t relevant here, it’s about reading the weekly chapters and getting together virtually once a week to share how the week has been. We find that being able to share without being judged or ‘fixed’ creates an opportunity to step into something new.

Also we have found that committing to sharing once a week means we are more likely to read the weeks words, integrate it and show up.

We will be holding the circle on Zoom for 10 people and meet up on Wednesday evenings at 8pm.
The cost is £10 per week and there are 12 weeks. All you need is your copy of The Artists Way and plenty of paper.

We will Start Week 1 on 15/9/21 and be holding the first Zoom meeting on Wednesday 22/9/21. @debbietregloan #juliacamerontheartistsway #theartistway #Inspiration #artistcircle

I was smelling this Rose when it’s petals fell off into my hand and my finger tips enjoyed the feeling of touching them. This is reminding me that beauty is experienced with all my senses. #energyhealing #naturemedicine ##peaceworker #fillingtheworkdwithbeauty #loveflowers who dreamed them up ?

Sewing Wells Contemporary Art Opening on the 27th

Sewing

Wells Contemporary Art Opening on the 27th August at 7pm, Wells cathedral DM me for a Private View Invite the exhibition is then on for the month of September

I sat on the the floor of the cathedral sewing ties onto my painting. I remembered a performance I did when I was at St martins School of Art, in London and a work shop lead by @annetallentire. What I did was, sit on a chair and mime sewing. I asked the audience to stand around me in a circle and clap. The idea was to clap the act of sewing, housework and at the same time to engage the audience so they were part of the performance and active in the artwork.

As I sat sewing with bare feet in the Cathedral, people stopped to look at what I was doing and I had a feeling of repeating history. Another memory came of sewing with my mum and granny, and another with my Auntie @buttonquinn and listening to Joan Armatrading, love and affection.

As I learnt to sew I learnt that I could make anything I wanted for myself, and being mostly self taught it was also inventive and there was something about being able to unpick things and start again and add things on that led to a free form style of making clothes.

I am remembering this way of making now as I can see how it informs my painting, finding freedom to paint with out a plan adding and taking away and not worrying about the outcome. Mostly it has been a thing to find inner freedom inside me, so I can be free on the outside on the canvas and in life.

Dance The Pool of consciousness Oil on Canvas S

Dance

The Pool of consciousness
Oil on Canvas
Size 270 X180 cm

Sometimes dancing is the best way to get me out of a groove and onto another path. I often dance when I am painting and when I get stuck in thinking patterns. Today I started planning a series of paintings which I was having trouble finding. Phew. Thankyou @billieilish for rhythm and song. A dancer I new once said to me “you can only stop yourself dancing, your body wants to move to rhythm”

And then this quote came from Too-pa Turner

“Many take the path well-worn, but they are only given half-lived life. To those willing to brave the unknown path, the dark thicket, and a remembering of love, magic and purpose returns. There is a wild woman under our skin who wants nothing more than to dance until her feet are sore, sing her beautiful grief into the rafters, and offer the bottomless cup of her creativity as a way of life. And if you are able to sing from the very wound that you’ve worked so hard to hide, not only will it give meaning to your own story, but it becomes a corroborative voice for others with a similar wounding”

Excerpt from “Belonging: Remembering ourselves home by Toko-pa
Turner” I love your book @tokopa

In my studio painting - A Blue Sky the first layer

In my studio painting - A Blue Sky the first layer of paint for the painting I’m making for Wells art contemporary which is opening on Friday 27th August, Everyone Welcome

Painted after sitting watching the sky and bringing the feeling back into my studio. I had a cold bath for 15 minutes which gets me in my body and present to the moment and then painted in silence.

The music on the film is Pachamama by Darpan.

Pachamama means Mother Earth - In Gratitude 🙏

Sychronicity - The baby swans at the Bishops Pala

Sychronicity -

The baby swans at the Bishops Palace, Wells have grown to the size of their mother. My youngest daughter is 20 today, she’s grown too and went travelling last year finding her land and a new home. Last night there was a full moon and a lightening storm, a memory came back from when I was 20 and another storm. Lighting coming down the telephone and hitting me. After I felt like my brain had been rewired, like I saw things differently. I kept this perceptual state hidden away for 30 years until I went on a shamanic course where I heard a story that often Shaman are hit by lightening. Embracing this way of seeing, un-consensual reality, other worlds, following intuition and my heart now feeds into my art practice. This quote also came to me today and I share it to my daughter for her birthday, and all of you. This is what embracing all the parts of myself has led me try and do more and more. I love this quote -

"let yourself be silently drawn by the stronger pull of what you really love,
it will not lead you astray"
John De Ruiter

Today my brother and sister in law took me for an

Today my brother and sister in law took me for an unexpected day out to the seaside.
As I lay under a red shade lots of ideas came flooding in. They got me thinking where do ideas come from? There was something about having a day off from Art! Ideas came in one after another, in so many unusual shapes. After a while they stopped and I started to sift through them, they all had blue in common. I thought, I’m making a blue painting, swimming in the blue sea under a blue sky !!!! It felt like they were out there blowing around in the cosmos. Waiting for me to see them. I wonder if I don’t use them will they pass onto another?
A day to the sea has filled me up with so unexpected potential and lots of laughter. Saying Yes to the Sunshine and yellow led me on a journey

Un rolling primed french linen for a new Medicine

Un rolling primed french linen for a new Medicine Painting for Wells Cathedral opening at the end of August. I proposed to make a painting specifically for the Cathedral as part of Wells Contemporary. I have been walking in the landscape around Wells and watching the swans on the moat, listen to the breeze and gathering information inside my body as feelings. Getting ready to paint these feelings through consciously connected breathing and painting. I’m inspired by many artist before who have used the process of making, to make art, where the finished art isn’t the focus. #evahesse #leekunyoung THANKYOU #paintmedicine #wellcontemporary #follingmybreath #artistoninstagram #inspiration #shamanichealing #energyiseverything

Owl as White as Two Moons Oil on Canvas Size 18

Owl as White as Two Moons Oil on Canvas Size 18 x 24 inch

This was one of my first oil paintings when I was teaching myself how to paint. I keep coming back to it, it’s become my teacher painting. It was painted after a Shamanic journey to the underworld a garden of great beauty. When I painted it, I didn’t know what paint could do, like I can paint over layers and layers and completely change something. I like that and then at some point it’s done a feeling in my tummy, it’s not a thinking thing. This is when I started to think of painting as a medicine for the creator and viewer, a process, action and a vibration in a space. It is something humans have been doing for a longtime, painting in caves , on ceramics, on pieces of cloth. I’m thinking it must be an instinct to make marks and then look at them and I wonder if it came before language. I often experience that I make art as a way of expressing things that have no words for, through my hands, the antennae of my heart ❤️

Field Study - I’ve been spending time in a wild

Field Study - I’ve been spending time in a wild flower field noticing how my body feels. Movement Meditation, A breeze through a field, a blue sky and the call of a bird, this is the title for a painting I’m making for Wells contemporary exhibition in the Cathedral. Sometimes the title comes before the work, it’s giving me some structure and poetry. #wip #gatheringthoughts #paintmedice #consiousnessshift #natureconnection #beauty #contemplation #inspiration #freedomthinker #earthdancer #havingfun
