Find YOUR Heart

The Second Half……. Painting, Drawing and RIPPING it all up

pipermartin — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 18:48:46 +0000

Looking into the New Year we are planning on transformation. If you would like a new way to approach an old belief, pattern or addiction consider using art as a tool. Through a series of art exercises we will stir up the foundation of the old and then move right on through to transforming it into what you want to create in your life. Art can be a subtle, gentle and beautiful way to breathe new life into something that feels rigid or unmovable. For full details please visit my website at www.pipermartin.com

Sunday Morning RoundUp!

pipermartin — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 16:29:46 +0000

Last week we finished our Sunday Morning Painting class and it was quite an experience. We spent one week in each colour and talked about the corresponding chakra – Brie Reid from Zen Bones Yoga (our neighbour upstairs!) mirrored the colour and chakra in her yoga classes throughout each week. And so we made our way up and through. Here are some pictures of our experience:

Our next art class is called The Second Half and it will be a painting and collage class. We will transform something specific of your choosing – a belief, an event, a pattern through art into something new, layered, textured and interesting. This class is:

WELCOME TO THE PLEASURE DOME

Into our second week of the Sunday morning ritual class we jumped into ORANGE!

Our first step towards pleasure was to do some work with the affirmation associated with this chakra and the colour orange:

I deserve pleasure in my life
I absorb information from my feelings.
I embrace and celebrate my sexuality.
I move easily and effortlessly.
A strong community is available to me.
I trust and follow my intuition.

I embrace and celebrate my sexuality.

In groups we created clay pieces to reflect these affirmations and to find another way to hold them in our bodies. Then we moved on to creating with ink and paint.

: Pouring the ink and allowing the picture to appear.

Studio Tour 2011

pipermartin — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 19:38:25 +0000

The Red Onion Art Studio participated in its first show the weekend of October 1 and 2nd in the Newmarket Studio Tour. We created a beautiful space to show and sell our art. We also celebrated the official launch of our actual working art studio, a little space attached to The Invisible City. Both of these spaces were used in the Studio Tour and it was two days of hanging out with fellow artists, munching on goodies, enjoying the company of everyone that dropped in to check out the art.
