Art Every Day Month Day 17 - Beauty

This is one of those days that I wish someone would hurry up and create a smell catcher. For the past week I have noticed so many beautiful aromas. Pulling up my mother driveway I could smell this powerful aroma, it took us a wee while before we could figure it out, it was the grapefruit tree's blossom. I hope you all get the chance to take a deep sniff of these blossoms as they will blow you away. Grapefruit aroma is known for being a powerful purifier. The mandarin and lemon trees are also smelling beautiful! I love citrus! I bought a bag of tangerines yesterday and they are so sweet and juicy. One of my favourite essence oils is neroli it is made from the bitter orange blossom and used as an antidepressant, for calming nerves, chronic diarrhea, and on dry skin or broken veins. I love this time of the year!
In my mother in-laws garden there are perfect red roses with another beautiful aroma. I was lucky to take half a dozen home last weekend, our house has been smelling like roses, excuse the pun. Rose are known as the love scent it is used to attract love, confer peace, an aphrodisiac, and enhance beauty.

I took some photos of the roses yesterday, they are not very good photos cause they are half dead and the sun was too bright....

I have also noticed that all of the rhododendron flowers out in full bloom! We have a few in our garden and it seems like on every street in Wanganui people have the beautiful purple flower, the only colour we don't have. I will try and get some photos today.

The Youtube clip for the day is a beautiful clip of FLOWERS IN GROWTH

Here are some of my flower inspired paintings

My card for the day is CELEBRATION

Good-Bye Summer Family Ritual

For the past week I have been feeling the shift of seasons from summer into autumn. This has motivated me to c lean out closets, freshening up our home, make this summer photo collage, and created a family ritual. I find ritual really powerful it allows you the time to honour what has come before, say goodbye, and create intentions for what will come next. I've been poking around the internet and have found interesting articles on family summer rituals. Here are some of the suggestions I have read… Summertime is full of outdoor pursuits, so adding the outdoors into your ritual fits perfectly. Preserve summer fruits for the chilly months ahead. Engage in cooking or baking with summer ingredients. Shared a meal of seasonal food. Press summer flowers or herbs in books. Create a memory book of the past summer with photographs, ticket stubs, memorabilia, quotes, family jokes, poem, or anything else that reminds the family of fun times. Create a summer nature journal, detailing a

Art Every Day Month Day 7 - Encaustic Wax

I'm really enjoying blogging again, it's been years since I have written everyday. I used to do morning pages before I got pregnant, I have heaps of books full of my dribble. The Artist Way by Julia Cameron got me into the morning pages! Every artist should own a copy of that book! I was talking to a friend yesterday and she wanted me to order her a box of encaustic wax. I haven't done any encasutic for such a long time, so today was the day to dust off the cobwebs and get melting. Here are my 2 creations for the day... Releasing my MADNESS!
