Opening of my new website/special opening discounts! Www.summergreenwoods.com

Hi everyone!

First and foremost I would like to thank all of my followers and visitors for their continued support.

I was shocked to discover the amount of traffic my blog has had since its very beginning. I have not posted in a very long time as I find it very hard to post from my phone so I use Facebook and Instagram to promote my work. The links are in my About. My big announcement of today is in the title.

I have finally realized one of my biggest wishes… opening my own website to promote my paintings. Come and check http://www.summergreenwoods.com and if you can please share it far and wide, the more the merrier! Wishing everyone a safe and healthy winter!

A technical glitch becomes my muse.

This project isn’t new.
In fact I have long been busy with it and still have a long way to go…
There are still a million details to refine.

The whole idea was a sheer stroke of luck.
Our printer was nearly out of ink and the result was this amazingly hazy, blurry work of art…
On paper.

A technical glitch became my muse.
Our printer, despite itself turned what could’ve been a more or less ordinary idea into a punch of genius.
In an instant it had taken a whole new dimension.

Today, looking so very closely, I continue detecting, along the work (which often needs a magnifying glass) so much movement in what appeared at first to be a soft, romantic, vague looking image.

This “failed” print I notice, is a host to so many nuances, shadows, blurry, ghostly, ephemeral expressions…

And it lies in every stroke of this ongoing project.
It is very precise, nothing is left to chance.

Yet, it would have gone unnoticed to my eye, if I wasn’t so busy with its minutiae.

Creating your way to genesis.

Hi, this article was inspired by the three principles method of Sidney Banks.

It just happened with no need of correction which is a rare occurrence in my writing experience.

I hope you enjoy it and will inspire you further.

 

Hi, welcome to the realm of no-thought.

You have finally found that quiet spot in the vastness of time.

You have slowed down your breathing to your heartbeat.

Exhaling emotions attached to a floating or frantic parade of noisy images.

Emptying mind-clutter, peeling off remnants of ancient wallpaper sticking faithfully to walls of generations and habits.

Finally letting go and giving into new design.

To the idea of nothing. Of everything.

Opening up to the awareness of what IS.

Listening to the sounds of silence.

Peeping through the keyhole of eternity.

Remembering that time stands still, every time you allow it.

Slicing through the race of man-made impatience and frustrations.

Allowing yourself to let life BE YOU. BE NOW. FEEL NOW.

Notice what sustains you.

Experience your body’s imprint on your mattress, chair or floor.

Sense all that surrounds you, all that contributes to your comfort and wellbeing. Perceiving the oneness with all elements. Celebrate its quiet yet sustainable presence.

Allow yourself that time of blissful emptiness.

Breathe it.

Mark it.

Into your mind and consciousness.

Etch it into your soul. Design it unto every square inch of your body. Sketch it into a habit.

Offering yourself the possibility of heaven RIGHT NOW.

Creating the notes of YOUR life.

Chanting the mantra of YOUR reality and allowing others to follow theirs.

Breathe it, welcome it and enter the strange yet familiar domain of unoccupied mind.

Carving your way back to Genesis.

Watch “ZAZ – Demain c’est toi (vidéo studio)” on YouTube

An internationally famous French singer with a hit for most of her songs.

Her songs/lyrics are even being used in schools to teach French.

This one is particularly moving as the lyrics are words she addresses to her unborn child.

Wishing you all again a very happy gratifying healthy new year!

Demain c’est toi
Zaz

Tomorrow is you

I trace paths that are waiting for you
Je trace des chemins qui n’attendent que toi
To you the child who comes, I precede your steps
À toi l’enfant qui vient, je précède tes pas
I whisper your name in the breath of my voice
Je murmure ton nom dans le souffle de ma voix
I will offer you the world, you I do not know
Je t’offrirai le monde, toi que je ne connais pas
I open my heart wide as you open your hands
Je t’ouvre grand mon cœur comme on ouvre ses mains
I hope you have happiness as big as mine
Je t’espère des bonheurs aussi grands que les miens
Tomorrow is you

Demain c’est toi

I learn the alphabets of each of your actions
J’apprends les alphabets de chacun de tes gestes
I sing you my dreams of spaces and Wild West
Je te chante mes rêves d’espaces et de Far West
I want for you the love, the rare and the precious
Je veux pour toi l’amour, le rare et le précieux
All the beauty of the world at your fingertips
Toute la beauté du monde à portée de tes yeux
Fists heated to white, I’m forging for tomorrow
Les poings chauffés à blanc, je forge pour demain
Your happiness that I wish as big as mine
Tes bonheurs que je souhaite aussi grands que les miens

Tomorrow is you
Demain c’est toi

I give you the keys that open all the chests
Je te donne les clés qui ouvrent tous les coffres
I spray the walls of the prisons that we offer you
Je pulvérise les murs des prisons que l’on t’offre
I run to infinity not to leave you
Je cours à l’infini pour ne pas te laisser
All I did not say is because you know it
Tout c’que je n’t’ai pas dit c’est parce que tu le sais
It’s because you know it
C’est parce que tu le sais
To you the child who comes as a little morning
À toi l’enfant qui vient comme un petit matin
I hope you have happiness as big as mine
Je t’espère des bonheurs aussi grands que les miens
Tomorrow is you

Demain c’est toi

Songwriters: Isabelle Geoffroy

Best wishes for a happy New year!

Happy new year and very best wishes to all followers and visitors for a Happy safe and warm holidays!
I want to take this opportunity to thank you all for the support, the likes and comments since the opening of this account.
This photo was taken with a Nikon camera D5200 of a painting made this summer.

My apologies for having left my blog inactive of late but I’m trying to figure out how to post photos from my phone without having to go through all the hassle of reducing the pixels (through my computer) so as not to overload my blog space.

I truly enjoyed the contact built throughout the years with my fellow bloggers and hope there’s a way around this dilemma.

Any tips on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Keep safe and warm!

Le marronnier enneigé (The horse chestnut in snow)

This is an addition to the first marronnier which I have not yet managed to update here. This one is now a part of my grand tree collection too.

I guess you can call this a work of gratitude.
Trees make life beautiful, it’s alive, it grows, summer it gives shade, winter shelter from winds & storms, it (sometimes) nourishes, provides wood for all kind of purposes, gives oxygen, lightens our hearts in every aspect, decorates our outdoors, indoors, minds & souls, goes with the cycle of seasons a symbol of rebirth…
This is a reminder that We are lucky to be surrounded by them day in day out!

Loch na Lathaich in abstract

 

Hi everyone! This is today’s work,

one of my new projects.
A night shot with slow shutter speed on Loch na Lathaich Isle of Mull that came out so nice it was perfect for abstract work.
As a second layer it still has a long way to go.
Will keep you updated… Please check and like my Facebook page at: Life Paintings

Best wishes for 2018 to all!

Best wishes to all my followers and visitors for a healthy happy peaceful new year!
I am taking this opportunity to thank all of you for your patience since the trouble I have been having starting afresh with a new computer and continuing to like comment and support this account all the way, through thick and thin.
It feels challenging after such a long time… I seem to have forgotten what was simple then.
Posting on other social medias from a mobile takes a second whereas with a blog I have to reduce pixels so as not to saturate its internal storage.
Anybody with info about storage and pixels which I might not be aware of, please send it my way, it’ll be greatly appreciated!
I will try to post regularly in order to keep this blog as updated as my Facebook https://www.facebook.com/Life-Paintings-489714007854314/                        my Facebook timeline at SummerGreenwoods and Instagram account at Life_paintings https://www.instagram.com/life_paintings/?hl=nl                Meanwhile I’d really appreciate if you could go check my recent works there.

Thank you!

Celebration

Hi everyone!
I couldn’t believe five whole years have gone by since I started this blog.
Forgive my absence.
Lately I have been having computer issues and couldn’t keep you updated with my work, the exhibition, my photography…
But I promise to start posting again as soon as it’s all fixed.
Only then will I feel entitled to fully celebrate this milestone 🙂
Best of luck to all my faithful followers and visitors and best wishes for a safe and warm winter!
