Vineyard Yoga

The Yoga Bliss Festival has been such a wonderful experience to share with my daughter, Michaela!  Our first Mother-Daughter trip together, this retreat has deepened our special bond.  The experience was magical, and we had fun exploring new classes with open minds.  This truly is a place to restore body, mind and spirit, made so much better when sharing with family.  I have so many paintings forming in my mind's eye, I look forward to letting them fall off my brush when the time is right.  I hope to share this special event with the rest of my daughters next year!  Painting number 4600 in 4600 days. 

Sunset Yoga

 

I love exploring how ink, watercolor, and hot wax play on delicate rice paper.  First, I draw the lines with India ink, then follow with the first layer of watercolor.  Hot wax is added where a resist is desired, and I build the layers from there. Once the crumbling of the wax and last wash of watercolor goes on, I iron off the wax between sheets of paper, this revealing the painting.  I love the very unpredictable nature of this medium. Come see this watercolor batik on rice paper painting at the Harmonie Verein, and take a restorative class at the Yoga Bliss Festival!  Painting number 4596 in 4596 days. 

Myo Yin at Yoga Bliss

 

What fun it was to paint a full Myo Yin session at the Yoga Bliss Festival today!  The classes and instruction here are like none I've experienced, and many come from far off places just to be a part of this.  The sharing and caring is real here, and this event is about so much more than yoga. Blessings abound in this space for all who enter here. Painting number 5122 in 5122 days.  

Drum Circle

 

I have never painted a Drum Circle before - what an amazing experience during the Yoga Bliss Festival in Augusta, Missouri!  The sounds and energy seemed to vibrate right thru me as I painted from a corner.  There are so many interesting sessions in this festival!  Who knows what tomorrow will bring?  Painting number 5121 in 5121 days.
