2. What is your offer? (Shipping and handling are extra).

3. I will contact you tomorrow!

More and more, I experience things in my life that show me just how little control I have…and how much I need to let go and trust in this life. To that end, I am making this a

**PAY WHAT YOU WANT** painting,

and I am trusting that the universe supports me.

1. Today only, send me a message telling me about letting go of control in your life.

Love My Fear

  
I’ve been facing my fears, then running from them, attaching myself to the rainbows. I’ve been told the rainbows don’t exist without the shadows and darkness.

I Seek

 
My now 14-year old daughter asked me today, “Mom, how can I stop comparing myself to girls who are skinny?” And so it begins… The goal to accept, love, validate and approve of myself is often a difficult struggle- I find these days, more than ever before, the child in me is seeking these things CONSTANTLY. It feels like insanity. 

“Seek”, Pussy Series #2

 I finished this painting last night! It sold last week before I had a chance to finish it. Gotta love when that happens!

Studio Tuesday :: 20-Minute Paintings

"I Love It", 16" x 20" SOLD

“I Love It”, 16″ x 20″ SOLD

It’s Art Battle training time again! Art Battle is a friendly competition for artists: we are given the paint, the canvas, and 20 minutes to create what we want/can. The audience votes for their favourite paintings, and the top 4 finalists compete in the last round. This year, I have my eye on the nationals!

Both of the paintings here were created in 20-minutes. Working this quickly allows me to let go of any critical voices, because they just don’t have a chance to take hold – my hands are moving too quickly! It’s like a really fast dance, with paint.

Art Battle is this Thursday at HiFi. For more information on Art Battle, and to purchase tickets, click here.

Creative Curiosity

Creative Curiosity: Discover your spark!

Would you like to paint/dance/write/draw or create with a greater sense of connection to yourself and your creative source? Have you always wanted to create, but have been unsure of where to place your first steps? Are you one of those people who says, “I can’t draw”, or “I can’t paint”? Maybe you’re an experienced artist feeling blocked or stale or stuck somehow? Are you craving an opportunity to boost your creative flow?

Join me for a one-day immersion in my Creative Curiosity process. We will use painting, writing, drawing, and more to drop into working with the abundant creative source that is already within you.

This workshop will include:

  • all art supplies
  • potluck lunch
  • a safe and supportive space in which to create
  • lots of love and fun!

What to bring:

  • an apron or clothes that can get painted
  • an item for our shared meal and snacks throughout the day (please inform me of any allergies or food sensitivities you have (along with the level of severity).
  • water bottle
  • any art supplies or sketchbooks you enjoy using
  • your curiosity
  • wonderful, beautiful you!

Where: My home studio in Springbank Hill, SW Calgary, near Westhills.

Art and community are two very important things, and so often in our day to day lives, we just don’t get enough. Spending time with Belinda and a community of lovely ladies for the sole purpose of expressing our creativity was like a breath of fresh air. Tapping into a part of myself that’s often overlooked and neglected reminded me of how fun and nourishing it can be to just play. I would recommend a workshop with Belinda if you’re feeling creatively stifled, a little stuck in life, or just needing some fresh perspective. It’s fun and Belinda guides you through any emotions or questions that may come up for you throughout the process. I left feeling a little lighter, and a lot more creative!” – Lana

Belinda has an energy about her that draws you in…coupled with her obvious enthusiasm about art and dance, the outcome is magical. I found myself motivated, restored and ready to take on more creative projects!” – Christy

If you have any questions about the Creative Curiosity workshop or process, please don’t hesitate to connect with me.
I look forward to experiencing your Creative Curiosity!
With love,
Bel
