There is something so magical about the moon when you just sit with it and feel all the energies flow through and around you. I hope you too, sat beneath the moon tonight, basking in what it brings to you and releasing what no longer serves you. Moon Blessings 💕

The Alberta Escape Artists thought of the day

In 1961, Henri Matisse’s painting Le Bateau (The Boat) was hung upside down at New York’s Museum of Modern Art for 46 days before anyone noticed.

Le Bateau (1953) is a paper-cut from is composed from pieces of paper cut out of sheets painted with gouache, and was created during the last years of Matisse's life.

The Sunday quote

Where the spirit does not work with the hand there is no art.
— Leonardo da Vinci

A previous creation feeling through the power of the setting sun.

So devoted to his craft, incredible!

Once Upon a Time
Pierre-Auguste Renoir was a leading founder of the Impressionist movement but due to the onset of rheumatoid arthritis, he could barely hold a paintbrush because of the pain and lack of mobility in his hands. In fact, he needed an assistant to put the paintbrush in his hand and then arrange the artist’s palette as he worked. Renoir also started using a moving canvas so that he could paint larger scale pieces despite his limitations. In 1910 he was no longer able to walk. Although his infirmity became more and more constraining, Renoir never ceased to paint; when his fingers were no longer supple, he continued by binding his paintbrush to his hand.

Happy New Year!

Poem for a New Year
by Matt Goodfellow

Art by Lennart Helje

Something’s moving in,
I hear the weather in the wind,
sense the tension of the sheep-field
and the pilgrimage of fins.
Something’s not the same,
I taste the sap and feel the grain,
hear the rolling of the rowan
ringing, singing in a change.
Something’s set to start,
there’s meadow-music in the dark
and the clouds that shroud the mountain
slowly, softly start to part.

Merry Christmas!! Blessings of love and joy to all!
