Em’s Blue Pair (Nostrum and Curative)

Art, like music, plays a role as the backdrop or soundtrack of our lives. Today's introduction to “Nostrum” and “Curative”, a pair of 30” x 40” acrylic paintings on panel, were once given the  cold shoulder. Now they offer a little bit of flexible colour magic and a balm for the soul in the depths of a Winnipeg winter.  

Do you have a studio? Want a studio? This backstory may be a curative for any romanticized notion you might have dreamed. Unless you are attracted to heavy traffic, emergency sirens and a breeze on your side of the brickwork, that is.  

I share a reflective tip to brighten your workspace and add a pro to the cons of my former expansive, frosty space.  

We also learn about schlepping, What it means to sail across a parking lot in a brisk breeze and  how to safely wrestle a 4’ square painting into the back of an SUV… shlepping. I missed painting this week when the work of art took over. 

 

The visuals for these paintings can be found on my blog and on Instagram.

The meditation begins at 10:45 in the episode. 

The strong colour story of this pair has inspired a favourite visual journey that rises through the chakra column. Together we visualize a colourful chakra cleanse. We expand, we rise, we imagine and imbue our chakras with crystal magic from head to toe. You will want to return to  this practice often.
