Wow, its the first day of October. I am excited to say this will be my 2nd Autumn where I am living and working in my very own Artist studio. As I reflect in the last year, there have been more than a few bumps in the road. Thank goodness, I have my connection to my inner Viking Goddess Adrenis.
She is my very own personal super hero. I know when I receive a message from her, this is the correct path. My artwork, healing, and creating through whatever emotions arise, is how I paint. My artistic expression comes from somewhere outside of myself. Although, I know its inside me. My artwork is also carries hidden messages, images, and symbolism. These messages, are from nature, the vibrations in the air, words spoken, music, and spiritual energies. Last year, November 2020, I had a concussion. I am doing so much better than I was. It was pretty scary, not seeing or feeling the things I was used to when I painted. My meditations were blank or black. I continued meditating every day while I was in treatment programs. My first paintings were abstract. I did not like them. They showed my frustration at how I was feeling. Then I started painting butterfly beings, which lifted my spirits!! Every piece I paint, my creativity expands to a different level as I heal. It is my own personal belief, that my artwork has healing properties when you really look at them. That is, sit down in a chair, get comfortable, and take the artwork all in. This may take, 2 minutes to a whole hour. When you stand up, you will feel lighter and happier. Every painting looks different , changes colour, images appear, at different times throughout the day because of how the light reflects on it. Tomorrow is open studio. Saturday, Oct. 2, from Noon to 5pm. If you are in the area, come by for a visit. Pull up a chair and sit in front of a Vendel Art painting... and enjoy. Careful, you may be inspired to purchase a Vendel Art painting of your very own!! Artistically yours, Sussanne Hoiberg Vendel Arts Studio #506, 1701 Powell Street, Vancouver, BC Its the first day of October, it feels like autumn today. I am enjoying seeing the bright fall colours, This is what inspired me to choose these colours, and it felt a little like fire!! I am excited to introduce the 6th painting in the butterfly series, FireBug!
I am preparing the Studio, moving things around, and creating the butterfly display. Making space for my artist friend Linda Casano who will be painting butterflies with me on Saturday from Noon to 5pm!! We will both have artworks on display and for sale, online and in person. We accept visa, mastercard, debit and e-transfers. Vendel Arts Studio will be hosting a live Demo, which will be available on Facebook. We are set to share at between 1pm and 2pm. Our plan B, is to post a video of our fun activities, which can be viewed at your leisure. Looking forward to connecting with friends, and meeting some new people. See you on Saturday, Oct. 3d from Noon to 5pm. Vendel Arts Studio, #506, 1701 Powell Street, Vancouver, BC Artistically yours, Sussanne Hoiberg Its a butterfly world here in the studio, and I am having so much fun. I have challenges some days, and that is when I get more creative. Sometimes this life seems like a rollercoaster ride. The highs and lows are evening out. Especially when I change the way I look at things. Today GloBug is lighting my way for new opportunities. Just saying GloBug makes me smile.
It is my intent with this series, to acquire resources, however. this is only a part of the puzzle. The butterflies are helping to see the beauty in the world. Artistically yours, Sussanne Hoiberg, seeing the world through a butterfly.... |
