<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: large;">Yesterday morning found us four artists
at the river of Fiastra, which flows past the Abbey of the same name.
And flowing it was, at a noisy and phenomenal rate after the heavy
rains of the last weekend. We groped our way through thickets and
brier and had to jump down into a steep ditch and into mud to get
near to the river edge</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgazqRbc4t5S5B-jtQbiegFp5PL6IKDYE6plpfkW_tUbQRNtTsdCA0NdxRa95Lmo8M03-bJJMIhxr5itTuOg2N1J9Wh2bQEA1bClbDbRFOmucjJXNui1HiPVWWCillRoxzWvbwMVuXcDUxVlTvmcu1_GUSwUiXUwmv0kSIXgUXuXq6fgHz5h1h3NULmON8/s2040/Delf%20stripes.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2040" data-original-width="1530" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgazqRbc4t5S5B-jtQbiegFp5PL6IKDYE6plpfkW_tUbQRNtTsdCA0NdxRa95Lmo8M03-bJJMIhxr5itTuOg2N1J9Wh2bQEA1bClbDbRFOmucjJXNui1HiPVWWCillRoxzWvbwMVuXcDUxVlTvmcu1_GUSwUiXUwmv0kSIXgUXuXq6fgHz5h1h3NULmON8/w300-h400/Delf%20stripes.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: large;">We were instantly making land art, on our knees,
scabbling about, </span><span style="font-size: large;">collecting twigs, leaves, stones,
branches, wild flowers; whatever we came across to.... well, it's
hard to say really, because, .....because, we had become totally absorbed. No
ideas coming from our heads, (but from who knows where ?); as if it were
the river, or the trees guiding our hands.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKPgyk7ASCDIO2_FX11NnFg8Sba6JslOw2iVfVS4uVwWpOQwS6SgqdJBy3bwniUBsfpEejcdD34To8P6NWTVPTnQ4XNaL9UjPGh0Sy19DhTdO_eS0LghFPiJ4xxh0nFy9S6lOJ17D0CyQRDt9IAhSjsw0WvK5lLyOjBaNfItW-EcyMOgw0DeDCDCbh4yg/s2040/Duncan%20Land%20art.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2040" data-original-width="1530" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKPgyk7ASCDIO2_FX11NnFg8Sba6JslOw2iVfVS4uVwWpOQwS6SgqdJBy3bwniUBsfpEejcdD34To8P6NWTVPTnQ4XNaL9UjPGh0Sy19DhTdO_eS0LghFPiJ4xxh0nFy9S6lOJ17D0CyQRDt9IAhSjsw0WvK5lLyOjBaNfItW-EcyMOgw0DeDCDCbh4yg/w480-h640/Duncan%20Land%20art.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: large;">We lost track of time and some auto instinct
had me look at my watch and low and behold we were minutes away from a lunch I'd booked at a local pub and we were hungry.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: large;">Food before art I always say, so I
zoomed off to secure our table and the others followed rapidly as if
by magic, arriving just minutes after me. Mysterious that, because they'd been miles behind.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: large;">So there you have it.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: large;">We discovered something new in our
creative lives. Land art takes you into a realm, a state of mind
perhaps, or even no mind, which feels good, which feels peaceful and
which washed away the monkey chatter in our brains, as swiftly as a crashing river.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: large;">We've done this in our childhood, we remember all these innocent things from when we were kids; sand castles on the beach, collecting shells and driftwood, making love promises on trees and daisy chains for our first love when we are young, gathering blackberries and mushrooms and making little boats out of twigs and leaves to float our wishes to a magic kingdom in our imaginations, blowing dandeline wishes into the sky.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: large;">But we are no longer children and the experience is different for us. </span><span style="font-size: large;">It is deeper and longer lasting, It is as if it is something which we cannot summon, but one which arrives as a gift, as if it is in a message brought to us by a bird or a totem animal. I have had many of such experiences, but now is not the time to write about them; I will in my next blog</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: large;">If you don't mind waiting ;0)</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaDk_4XOihey18_NnxsvR4cBDHtTfNprczH-8vtUIBEnMLrvDaO-Z10pcQIr4qLl8f2xtQ80C48ePySKVYqYtBRYvFRAJEPK5QGxtoyU9vAGXiiTPXbXaJznxcp21cmXNwEyfLH68-ut7Fw1BeAhcpMh8Q545W8gBmtCFyiyGy-QTculC3ptjJ6XnOjk8/s2040/Mice%20with%20gun.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1530" data-original-width="2040" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaDk_4XOihey18_NnxsvR4cBDHtTfNprczH-8vtUIBEnMLrvDaO-Z10pcQIr4qLl8f2xtQ80C48ePySKVYqYtBRYvFRAJEPK5QGxtoyU9vAGXiiTPXbXaJznxcp21cmXNwEyfLH68-ut7Fw1BeAhcpMh8Q545W8gBmtCFyiyGy-QTculC3ptjJ6XnOjk8/w400-h300/Mice%20with%20gun.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><div><span style="font-size: large;">And we will meet again......... by the river!</span><p></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Best wishes,</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: large;">Michael</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: large;">You can contact Michael for more about his art/nature/workshops in Italy <a href="http://michaeleldridgestudio.com">here</a></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: large;">or contact him at <a href="mailto:micermice@gmail.com">micermice@gmail.com</a></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br /></p><b></b><p></p></div>Michael Eldridgehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06389434668710459918noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5171532776172262669.post-60536984947072166922024-02-01T02:16:00.000-08:002024-02-01T23:32:54.989-08:00It's Imbolc<p><span style="font-size: medium;"> <span color="rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.9)" face="-apple-system, system-ui, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", "Fira Sans", Ubuntu, Oxygen, "Oxygen Sans", Cantarell, "Droid Sans", "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Lucida Grande", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white;">Good morning!</span></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi6y8vb8TIBJHH9iH1ASxGi9Y9PI16tlf1Yg5go4nz2DMATxWOn7d9P2o-Hud1lyPkfOeIw_EnFiyGfhD5JuvbMEODu2aIhY4YTy_4U4jJ6CNCrzVaFi0ZJ1gEnLirVqaThLG-tMetv3LEiq_qbkEn9M5AVdQuhTB0kPhgnmf4J24j5EtWnl7LgFnEGZY/s2632/yellow%20waterfall.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2632" data-original-width="2628" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi6y8vb8TIBJHH9iH1ASxGi9Y9PI16tlf1Yg5go4nz2DMATxWOn7d9P2o-Hud1lyPkfOeIw_EnFiyGfhD5JuvbMEODu2aIhY4YTy_4U4jJ6CNCrzVaFi0ZJ1gEnLirVqaThLG-tMetv3LEiq_qbkEn9M5AVdQuhTB0kPhgnmf4J24j5EtWnl7LgFnEGZY/w400-h400/yellow%20waterfall.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span color="rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.9)" face="-apple-system, system-ui, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", "Fira Sans", Ubuntu, Oxygen, "Oxygen Sans", Cantarell, "Droid Sans", "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Lucida Grande", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span><p></p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span color="rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.9)" face="-apple-system, system-ui, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", "Fira Sans", Ubuntu, Oxygen, "Oxygen Sans", Cantarell, "Droid Sans", "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Lucida Grande", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: white;">It's the first of February, my favourite day.

In altitude it is nearly 900 metres and it is renowned for its chestnut festivals and for its spectacular views across the entire spectrum of Le Marche.</p><p>So, what are we doing wedged inside this crack in the mountain side you might wonder?</p><p>Well, it was supposed to be one of our art sensorial days (we being our little art group ART/4;nature)</p><p>Every three weeks or so we venture out into forests, mountains, rivers etc and simply absorb nature, its air, its trees and bushes, ite light and its sounds.

A sensorial Day? Yes, one where we dare to simply open our five senses to the world, specifically to Nature.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">This all begins before breakfast at our centre in Cittadella; Tail Ci, Ci Kung, the magic bubble and counting swifts as they bombard us in their curiousity. Then, you see, in the forest later, in a spot like La Cascada where there is just us, fish and butterflies, we settle ourselves amongst the rocks and tree roots, and we are already prepared, physically and psychologically</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Those who know, do not speak, those who speak, do not know! These instructions to the group received puzzled looks, but I explained that it was just a game we were playing (and after all, wasn't it Einstein who said, 'The only way we ever learn is through play!') So we all sat far apart from each other, and breathed deeply for ten minutes to take in the essences of the trees into our bodies, and then sketched in silence for an hour or two, opening our senses in complete absorption.</span></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmTrhfNrEmy6zmm-yuJhAOzv9zunF8zE7EClPmjKRR4cKcZYcFr7djZtItWCIHZXh2z0iLQtFigex7wBO2fyIyQTb1bzlLpAWw6k2Bg4JdXJ2t0xaBDIdBnFmk61YziK-W_pMvjWGThpyHxys1VktEt1m1LNjl_-bsWTHl3oLgJxwSjIdk_G4ut0gUGz4/s1943/workshop%204%20L&A.jpg" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1943" data-original-width="1535" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmTrhfNrEmy6zmm-yuJhAOzv9zunF8zE7EClPmjKRR4cKcZYcFr7djZtItWCIHZXh2z0iLQtFigex7wBO2fyIyQTb1bzlLpAWw6k2Bg4JdXJ2t0xaBDIdBnFmk61YziK-W_pMvjWGThpyHxys1VktEt1m1LNjl_-bsWTHl3oLgJxwSjIdk_G4ut0gUGz4/w506-h640/workshop%204%20L&A.jpg" width="506" /></a></p><p><br /></p><span style="font-size: medium;">We were back at Cittadella by mid afternoon to go through our sketches and to select one or two to transform into paintings.

<p style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: large;">It's upon us once
again. Its' an ancient Roman Bank Holiday, sort of, which translates
as Augusto's day off, or more aptly 'Italy's collective August coma'
when nothing can be done, arranged or even dreamt of. So best to
forget plumbers, electricians, builders, lawyers, notaries, town hall
staff etc. You get the picture. A holiday! Park your brain in the fridge.</span></p>
<p style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: large;">My plan is quite
the opposite. With art friends, we take to the streets around the
coast, to art fairs; done eight already and there are two more to
come.</span></p>
<p style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: large;">Here's one I
enjoyed, it was at Penna San Giovani, a little town, one of the many
hilltop towns south of the regional capital Macerata. We were just
two of us, myself and my art friend Claudia, otherwise known as
Delfina.</span></p>
<p style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: large;">It was the best so
far. A spectacular show by the group called Compagni dei Folli (fire
and ghosts on stilts) after which the two of us held an art workshop
for kids. They were amazing. No explanations needed. No parents
hanging around them (they were all in the bars) And there was a queue
of them (the children that is). We worked with monoprints, and what they

children is a learning experience for adult artists. We mustn't
talk down to them and in fact they are our little gurus, floating, as
they do, immediately into the absorption of each living second and
having no clever preconceived ideas in their heads. They even helped
us to c</span><span style="font-size: large;">lean up and then marched away holding </span><span style="font-size: large;">their still </span><span style="font-size: large;">wet</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large;">masterpieces flat and adoringly in their hands.</span></p><p style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: large;">So you see, this is what came even clearer to us; that when you run art workshops for adults,
the task is to guide them into this state of child like innocence, however long it takes.
And once there, all the rest flows.</span></p><p style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: large;"></span></p><p style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p>

out and about in the hills below Monte Vettore. We were sketching
and absorbing the mighty power of Nature in these parts, steeped as
it is in levels of human history and geological transformation
through millions of years of turbulance and volcanic eruptions.
Another venue was Lu Vurghe which is a thermal spring nestled below
the old Roman road La Salaria, the ancient salt route from the salt
flats at San Benedetto to Rome. This place, too, was the rest- over
for Legions to bathe and heal or rest themselves after returning or
going to battle in the Empire, securing its borders or enlarging it
in Europe and Asia.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br /></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhddzv_pJ6QtX1yPzoiqot9ZynnfukIgt4bKyqm-NHHozJ477lRxEQCW8-go_dTiiJmANUNhndMoX290s00MUSFcxI5WE7S-ErpbjqFbUGhzpRb4GjN4XZUnXhUFGGNUMr0NzdgvX0SvxUJfnNRnFB9bShV0z-DNc6hyaCQQBLy3w6OGVnMl03VaUbH/s4032/LU%20v%20pool.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhddzv_pJ6QtX1yPzoiqot9ZynnfukIgt4bKyqm-NHHozJ477lRxEQCW8-go_dTiiJmANUNhndMoX290s00MUSFcxI5WE7S-ErpbjqFbUGhzpRb4GjN4XZUnXhUFGGNUMr0NzdgvX0SvxUJfnNRnFB9bShV0z-DNc6hyaCQQBLy3w6OGVnMl03VaUbH/w480-h640/LU%20v%20pool.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1ZTrvkfHCGEznvW7p-dz0UvrSxiC90NhiI89HB2-wFNfPSLOAvpdI6obOk4eikkjORMf4NaCynauEiw0tQf6HgZCVoUUzNtl8WGwBA8Yp6sWu2DfvW21MncuPuRVhAeaUhO5oxwINUxl8UonCNVxvSuk2bsdmoXIoluHo4rqnCRHSA_QJxxlSlCZh/s2048/Jeremy%202.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1ZTrvkfHCGEznvW7p-dz0UvrSxiC90NhiI89HB2-wFNfPSLOAvpdI6obOk4eikkjORMf4NaCynauEiw0tQf6HgZCVoUUzNtl8WGwBA8Yp6sWu2DfvW21MncuPuRVhAeaUhO5oxwINUxl8UonCNVxvSuk2bsdmoXIoluHo4rqnCRHSA_QJxxlSlCZh/w640-h480/Jeremy%202.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">It is late May, and the water rushing
by us in the river Tronto was pure snow melt and freezing cold, almost impossibly so (I lasted in it just 20 seconds). But those of
our number much braver than I, stayed in much longer to my
astonishment. In the summer, the water is a perfect temperature and
the thermal stream which feeds into it really quite hot. So we'll go
back then.</span></div>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Our forest adventure was, I would say,
even more profound; if that's the right word,.Altino is an ancient
forest and contains every species of tree, bush, herb you could ever
dream to encounter in a woodland. It is a place where trees are left
to continue their hosting of other life forms, wherever they fall or
are blown over or struck by lightning.We inhaled the fragrance of the forest, breathing in the natural aromatherapy of phytoncides; tasting the freshness of the air as we took deep breaths; placed our hands on the trunk of a the huge oak tree . Dipped our fingers or toes in a stream. Lay on the ground, drinking in the flavour of the forest and releasing our senses of joy and calm. We sat and ate our picnic
perched on the huge trunk of the fallen oak. At its base it was
black, it had been struck by lightning and it was pure charcoal, and I used to it to draw with on this
second day of sketching where we made memory marks in our sketchbooks
to work on back at Cittadella our mountain retreat, and trasform
these into paintings.

Stavamo disegnando e assorbendo il potente potere della natura da queste parti, immerso com'è nei livelli della storia umana e della trasformazione geologica attraverso milioni di anni di turbolenze ed eruzioni vulcaniche. Un altro luogo è stato Lu Vurghe, una sorgente termale incastonata sotto l'antica strada romana La Salaria, l'antica via del sale dalle saline di San Benedetto a Roma. Anche questo luogo era il luogo di riposo per le legioni per lavarsi e curarsi o riposarsi dopo essere tornate o essere andate a combattere nell'Impero, assicurandone i confini o allargandolo in Europa e in Asia.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMJiEvO9QZHLF7KaX68VeCeqR9cRyVholWQtvhxptXn5Pyq0IVRFg46jAgw28acfBPRgH57q2fMLlkaBdNbEE0N_p7Z0AY1o_uS1uNY0qgQlMh_wJOUFkhxwJaCHY26Jxwk3PtcIzzGCJI6I6eQvdH4icFSjmR3VycU94ywH9rtlswrnnGhx06g4uA/s2040/Raf%20forest.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1530" data-original-width="2040" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMJiEvO9QZHLF7KaX68VeCeqR9cRyVholWQtvhxptXn5Pyq0IVRFg46jAgw28acfBPRgH57q2fMLlkaBdNbEE0N_p7Z0AY1o_uS1uNY0qgQlMh_wJOUFkhxwJaCHY26Jxwk3PtcIzzGCJI6I6eQvdH4icFSjmR3VycU94ywH9rtlswrnnGhx06g4uA/w640-h480/Raf%20forest.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br /></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">È la fine di maggio, e l'acqua che ci scorreva accanto nel fiume Tronto era pura neve sciolta e gelida, quasi impossibile (sono durato solo 20 secondi) ma quelli del nostro numero molto più coraggiosi di me, sono rimasti molto più a lungo per il mio stupore.

È un luogo in cui gli alberi vengono lasciati per continuare a ospitare altre forme di vita, ovunque cadano o vengano spazzati via o colpiti da un fulmine. Abbiamo inalato la fragranza del bosco, respirando l'aromaterapia naturale dei phytoncides; assaporando la freschezza dell'aria mentre facevamo respiri profondi; abbiamo messo le mani sul tronco di un'enorme quercia. Immergi le dita delle mani o dei piedi in un ruscello. Sdraiati a terra, bevendo il sapore della foresta e liberando il nostro senso di gioia e calma. Ci siamo seduti e abbiamo mangiato il nostro picnic appollaiati sull'enorme tronco di una possente quercia, e alla sua base era nero, era carbone puro, e l'ho usato per disegnare in questo secondo giorno di schizzi dove abbiamo lasciato segni di memoria nei nostri quaderni lavorare a Cittadella, il nostro rifugio di montagna, e trasformarli in quadri.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">E noi? eravamo un misto di artisti di lingua italiana e inglese che, nonostante lo strano problema linguistico, riuscivano a comunicare attraverso la nostra arte, le nostre risate e la nostra spensieratezza.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br /></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Il nostro prossimo seminario è alla fine di giugno (dal 29 al 3 luglio).

We often fear this word. We feel it's bigger than us, a little mysterious and we believe that you have to be painters to be creative! This is actually what happened today, planning the day making art together and instead we created a cozy environment in a garage, ate together, discovered marginal places in the surrounding nature and new ideas came and so, without "thinking"! Creativity is not just about painting or photographing or creating objects. Creativity is knowing how to flow with what attracts you. Create_activity. Stop thinking and act, something beautiful will surely come your way! </p><p><br /></p><p>Delfie, aka.

Like learning how to drive a car from an instruction booklet. Or how to ski.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: medium;">And yes, poetry has a beauty of course, but it is not just thereading but also the writing of it which takes us deeper into the realm of creativity and to its wonders</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I learnt to ski in the Rockies (or so I imagined). It was a program with a Zen teacher and I felt like a professional afterwards. One of the exercises was to be blinfolded and go down an easy slope putting weight on to first left foot , then right, and continue....Another to go down throwing a ski pole up in the air and catch it. I was great at that. </span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: medium;">A few months later, I was in Italy and some friends asked me if I would like to go skiing in Switzerland. Could I ski? You bet I said. The resort was high up in the Dolomites and the temperature that weekend was minus 14C. Ice. And deisel frozen in tank already</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: medium;">OK on the black slope? Of course!</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: medium;"> I soon found that my Zen sessions had not included ice, speed, and almost perependicular descents over mounds and hillocks. Consequence? Flying through the air through the sound barrier, my skis crossed. Result, broken ribs and a gashed head, etc. A distant memory. But I do remember walking with skis in my hands two kilometres down the black slope to a mini ski bar, where I sat down to unfreeze with a hot cofee, and to feel the defrosting blood trickle down my face</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I lost interest in skiing after that.</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: medium;">But, I guess that experience is one of the reasons I run workshops the way I do</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: medium;">To provide experimental and sensorial experiences in the forests, rivers and mountains, along with like minded people in a spirit of caring and sharing and to produce art; painting, poetry and to start our days slowly with Chi Kung; to absorb ourselves in nature. It is a process which takes time and patience and it is why I run follow ups and webinars with participants once they have attended a workshop, to go deeper, to reinforce. To bond as a group</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: medium;">My next workshop, the Vibrations of Nature is in the spectacular natural environment of the Sibillini mountains of Le Marche Italy, from 26th to 30th of September, 2022. Our venue is <a href="https://www.cittadelladeisibillini.it/">Cittadella</a>, a beautiful retreat which lies below the majestic Monte Vettore</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: medium;">There are a only a few places left on this workshop.

San Giorgio, a coastal town on the Adriatic It is with my painter
friends Claudia Renzi, Judy Offord and Duncan Campbell who have been
exhibiting here and there around this part of Le Marche for the past
couple of years. It is where we live, and although we show our work
in a larger arena, nationally and internationally, this is a homage
to where we live; as it is here that we are drawn to the beauty of
the mountains and rivers and ravines; our continuing absorption into
the rhythms and mysteries of nature.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWf-_SfclZSM_Zbej6oTkpIuLjelKjzxOG8YKGZywEevhjQtVWo6dzPJLHEjEbIdwd298RJYtQT3M7vcO2izdXxIK7IiuKXw41nOLXGPWeUT3n6t8SaFf26rc30DZMde1ZfNRX4n9eFKfpVcanMflNPlUdTmIakCnINLX5U1yys8P93NmN24LHBz5P/s570/a730ba98-63eb-4b88-846e-a3d40f744818.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="570" data-original-width="561" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWf-_SfclZSM_Zbej6oTkpIuLjelKjzxOG8YKGZywEevhjQtVWo6dzPJLHEjEbIdwd298RJYtQT3M7vcO2izdXxIK7IiuKXw41nOLXGPWeUT3n6t8SaFf26rc30DZMde1ZfNRX4n9eFKfpVcanMflNPlUdTmIakCnINLX5U1yys8P93NmN24LHBz5P/w394-h400/a730ba98-63eb-4b88-846e-a3d40f744818.jpg" width="394" /></a></div><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"> Claudia Renzi</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br /></p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">And it is this dynamic that I foster in
my workshops up in the mountains of La Sibilla here in Le Marche,
Italy: And it continues as a sort of lasting connectivity way beyond
a workshop weekend with webinars where we show each
other our work on a regular basis and share also the things that are
not so good in our lives. Creative people are emotional people and it
is best that they don't pretend to be in control, but instead adhere

</p>
<p style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">This short video is
from a sensorial day at an ancient hot spring not far from Ascoli
Piceno in the Marche region of Italy.It is situated just off La
Salaria, the ancient salt road to Rome from the salt flats at what is
now San Benedetto. It has been a hot mineral water spa for millennia
and was once a favourite with Roman Legions who would stop over to
clean up and rest when passing by.</p>
<p style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">It is a place
where I take workshop participants. The bathing area is a sandy beach
on the bend of the river Tronto...which flows into rapids below and
then on to Ascoli, It is a very special place of visual beauty which
simultaneously engages all of our five senses; The touch and smell of
the hot mineral water which flows into the river, its taste on our
lips and the sight of the drifting river weed, the subtle difference between the warm soft water and the tingly cold and the sound of the water flowing and bubbling.; the rushing sounds of the wind through the trees on the surrounding banks above us. We are
like our animal friends at this time, and this full alertness is like an open
space in our minds and it is here that our imaginings begin to stir
and we feel this desire to create beyond ourselves, to make marks,
images, sounds and shapes with river clay.</p>
<p style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">It is a sensorial
day</p>
<p style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">An emptying of the
mind</p>
<p style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">To clear a path
for the opening of our rediscovered creativity</p>
<p style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">When we paint,
write poetry and learn the benefits of Ci Kung and Tai Chi in our
lives</p>
<p style="font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;">At Cittadella, our
mountain retreat in the Sibillini National Park of Le Marche, Italy</p>

</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">It is untitled as all of them are.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">This I do because it allows folk to
make their own personal voyage.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">And the story of such an adventure
interests me greatly.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">My work gets put up on social media and
gets a multitude of likes.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Which to me is a warming flash of emptiness.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">But, occasionally, I receive a
meaningful comment.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Example; from a poet friend of mine in
England. </p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">She said....</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">'This really speaks to me'</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">So, I asked her if she would write a
poem about what my painting said to her.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">She has in fact written three, and
here are two</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br /></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><b>Elemental Force</b></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Dancing waves of light</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Weave a curtain of the elements </p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">A celestial ballet</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Of swirling fragments. </p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Earth, air, fire and water</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Conspire to delight</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">And inform</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">My senses.</p><div style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: left;"><br /></div><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><b>Ruth Dunsby</b></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><b><br /></b></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><b>Transformation</b></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">I settle on the glowing light</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Sink down through the</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Layers, unrestrained by</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Rules or intent.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Finding my way</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">By the process of immersion</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">I inhabit the image</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">I taste the vibrance</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">I am warmed by the light</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">From where, </p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Slowly but inexorably,</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">My words will flow.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><b>Ruth Dunsby</b></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><br />
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Interesting that she has named it, and
that is OK because it is her voyage now.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">And I can go on about how those who
have bought my paintings tell me that they change over time and
reveal stories which have been hidden in some magical way.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">I've decided to add this collaborative word/image game to my <a href="http://www.starstone.org/what-do-you-do">September workshop</a> in Italy. It's fun and enlightening too.</p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">Michael</p><br /><p></p>Michael Eldridgehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06389434668710459918noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5171532776172262669.post-39324087686322705302022-04-19T02:26:00.006-07:002022-04-22T02:05:02.633-07:00The Space Between<p>A Poem by Ruth Dunsby</p><p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

La loro degenerazione fornisce sostentamento agli insetti, ai microrganismi, ai funghi e ai licheni e crea un ecosistema equilibrato. Qui trovi ogni tipo di albero a foglie caduche e conifere; magnifiche querce, faggi, salici, varietà di pini e di cespuglio e proliferanti sottoboschi.</span></span></p><p><span face="Trebuchet MS, Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif" style="color: #666666; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></p><p><span face="Trebuchet MS, Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif" style="color: #666666; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white;"></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span face="Trebuchet MS, Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif" style="color: #666666; font-size: medium;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiMXA4xFMO95Fu2Cu4vTcAukiURlAnZpXForThQxnOUceUrxwaQMQgX5Sgsv-_hQEuzXgrV416r2BH-CwqpUfcz8xgKUEFvz6th771vOnkopuwqI-8mlATVu9Ua9F8Uo12gD1tcA56P75Wf_0FlwNoia3tQEdNlNoQp4WlsN7wF30jRvhcquTExjH9f" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiMXA4xFMO95Fu2Cu4vTcAukiURlAnZpXForThQxnOUceUrxwaQMQgX5Sgsv-_hQEuzXgrV416r2BH-CwqpUfcz8xgKUEFvz6th771vOnkopuwqI-8mlATVu9Ua9F8Uo12gD1tcA56P75Wf_0FlwNoia3tQEdNlNoQp4WlsN7wF30jRvhcquTExjH9f=w480-h640" width="480" /></a></span></div><p><span face="Trebuchet MS, Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif" style="color: #666666; font-size: medium;"><span face="Trebuchet MS, Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif" style="color: #666666; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></span></p><p><span face="Trebuchet MS, Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif" style="color: #666666; font-size: medium;"><span face="Trebuchet MS, Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif" style="color: #666666; font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span></span></p><p></p><p><span face="Trebuchet MS, Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif" style="color: #666666; font-size: large;">Passeggiando per la foresta arrivammo in una piccola radura e ci sedemmo in silenzio per un po' ad ascoltare il canto degli uccelli. Dovevano esserci centinaia di uccelli che cantavano e la sinfonia del suono era un incantesimo. Facemmo scorrere le dita sul tappeto di foglie di quercia e scavammo nell'humus nero come la pece; ne annusò l'aroma e toccò il lichene verde brillante che cresceva su un piccolo ceppo di legno in decomposizione. E ci meravigliamo del cielo azzurro che abbraccia i rami che svettano verso l'alto; ogni albero ha un'altezza incredibile e compete con i suoi vicini per il nutrimento della luce.</span></p><p><span face="Trebuchet MS, Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif" style="color: #666666; font-size: large;">Abbiamo letto del senso di pace che sprofonda in noi quando trascorriamo del tempo in una foresta e di come l'esperienza svuota le nostre menti.

<p lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: large;">In summer time, during a
heavy storm, the ravine would gush with rain water, crashing its way
to the plain below and joining the river Fiastra. </span></p><p lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: large;">We were rewarded

<p lang="en-US"><span style="font-size: large;">It is a spectacular forest; quite unique, in that it
has been (deliberately) left alone by its keepers and protectors;
where trees which die and fall or which are knocked over by gales,
are left wherever they land and in death bringing new life and
abundance to the creatures and vegetation of this incredible place.
Their degeneration provides sustenance to insects, to micro
organisms, fungi and lichen and creates a balanced ecosystem. Here
you find every type of deciduous and coniferous tree; magnificent
oaks, beech, willow, varieties of pine and of bush and proliferating
undergrowth</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">.</span></p><p lang="en-US"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p lang="en-US"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjkI42Lst6RSGajis5wI_6GuNUzcUBd3hSpW_BHFcj63_V-fWqyTH01OKFAtmYkFZG935nRAUc7-GbyeS9jjSFVoewduXhWOjdJyqJbDk8WEgLQaWKJVw8ZoeV7g74YXl5Y6_Y0gZAt60YQqp2aA1eWVTyiaDxtV9bmtMsZGpBV6Qeky8nqyZXs30jg=s4032" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjkI42Lst6RSGajis5wI_6GuNUzcUBd3hSpW_BHFcj63_V-fWqyTH01OKFAtmYkFZG935nRAUc7-GbyeS9jjSFVoewduXhWOjdJyqJbDk8WEgLQaWKJVw8ZoeV7g74YXl5Y6_Y0gZAt60YQqp2aA1eWVTyiaDxtV9bmtMsZGpBV6Qeky8nqyZXs30jg=w480-h640" width="480" /></a></div><span style="font-size: large;">Walking through
the forest we came to little clearing and sat in silence for a while
to listen to the birdsong. There must have been hundreds of birds
singing, and the symphony of sound was an enchantment. We ran our
fingers through the carpet of oak leaves and dug into the pitch black
humus beneath; smelt its aroma and touched the bright green lichen
which grew over a little stump of rotting wood. And we wonder at the
blue sky embracing the branches which soared upwards; each tree
having an incredible height and competing with its <span lang="en-GB">neighbours</span>
for the nourishment of light.</span><p></p>
<p align="LEFT" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: large;">We have read
about the sense of peace that sinks into us when we spend time in a
forest and how the experience empties our minds. We are the guests of
life forms which have lived on this planet twice as long as us and it
is a humbling experience to be in communication.</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: large;">Because the
light was moving and changing swiftly and because there was so much
information to absorb, we found ourselves photographing rather than
sketching or painting, although I couldn't resist sitting down and
doing a little water colour sketch, see below,</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: large;">And as you will
see from the photos, there was one lower part of the forest which,
and we couldn't really ascertain why, had trees which were
literally blanketed with green moss, or lichen.</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: large;">Almost like a
soft fur and in places growing even to the size of mini vegetables.</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: large;">So there you
are,
</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: large;"> Another
adventure.
</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: large;">We were late
getting back to the studio so it is only now that my fellow artists
are sending to me their artwork and their poems. It is good to have
such adventures into nature, where it somehow enters our beings, runs
through us and manifest itself in our imagination to produce art.</span></p>
<p align="LEFT" lang="en-US" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: large;">At our best, we are creative

Ma è stata una giornata incredibile e un'escursione di venti minuti ci ha portato vicino al fiume e a uno spazio aperto dove abbiamo iniziato la giornata con alcuni esercizi di risveglio del corpo e un gioco di bolle per portarci tutti al momento presente nel tempo; un elemento essenziale per gli artisti che hanno bisogno di riordinare i loro cervelli febbrili e di accendere i loro cinque sensi. Vedete, questo è stato un altro viaggio sensoriale; raccogliere materiale, immagini, foto, ramoscelli, foglie, terra da portare nel mio studio per un altro pomeriggio di creazione oltre noi stessi e illuminazione del buio.</span></p><p style="background-color: white;

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The original plan was to head for a
deadly dark deep ravine but our meetup got a bit wobbly (i.e. The late
comers were late). But it was a cracker of a day and a twenty minute
hike got us close to the river and to an open space where we started the
day with some body wakeup exercises and a bubble game to bring us all to the present moment in time; an
essential element for artists who need to unclutter their febrile
brains and to switch on their five senses. You see, this was another
sensorial trip; collecting material, images, photos, twigs, leaves,
earth to take back to my studio for another afternoon of creating
beyond ourselves and lighting the dark.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: medium;">We had lunch (late) prepared for us by
Cincia at the bar and talked about the morning, what we saw, what we
did, what we were drawn to in our absorptions.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Then three hours of work where
everybody finds a private space, where folks paint in watercolour,
acrylic, with coloured pensils or crayons and experiment with
monoprinting on glass or plexiglass, on canvas or paper.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The following day I gathered together
the work and photographed it and the group mailed me some photos too for
this blog</span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhtm8H-kOlBjbTykyqHEkyu7BBAg5iiXNaZ0zQUdHYiWC50qHmXRY6tPIy3J10OAZnTobShUrrrrLa5KSGzS65f6oH5UsOTtrE0oJJlrwxG0YGz782T_zcm-RC8OTY3_aPv90wKZiyfvZ1GhE6vWVkhBdWVHAoBL-aG3WDc46TOi2tKc-hNjgkVV_Ci=s3417" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2668" data-original-width="3417" height="313" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhtm8H-kOlBjbTykyqHEkyu7BBAg5iiXNaZ0zQUdHYiWC50qHmXRY6tPIy3J10OAZnTobShUrrrrLa5KSGzS65f6oH5UsOTtrE0oJJlrwxG0YGz782T_zcm-RC8OTY3_aPv90wKZiyfvZ1GhE6vWVkhBdWVHAoBL-aG3WDc46TOi2tKc-hNjgkVV_Ci=w400-h313" width="400" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span><p></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p>
