Being quite a dreamer, often head in the clouds,
i got no problem relating to dear Patrice's theme.
Every time working in my garden, touching that soil,
i feel very 'earthly', i recognize the connection with those
time layers build out of dust.
It has a strange but calming effect on me knowing that all
of us will become part of that dust in the end, all of us
earthly creatures.
Please take a look at Patrice's wonderful blog for more earthly pleasures created by this week's participants.
And have happy weekend X
Renilde....

Renilde, I love your colors and the touch of the earth, lovely post, thank you!
ReplyDeleteAfter reading your true words,
ReplyDeletedear Renilde,
it was very clearly to me that I need a garden!
For the same reason you've told us: touching that soil, make a feeling of 'earthly', I know...
Your painting affirms that feeling of sensual pleasure and beeing connected with all (gone and present).
Never felt that calming feeling that all of us will beeing part of that earth, dust... but now.
Thank you, dear.
x Ariane.

Great photos of touching the earth! Getting into the garden and mucking is something I look forward to after the wet winters. I love your painting with the hands and feet as roots going into the earth. And the piece of earthenware is perfect!
ReplyDeletei love mucking about in the earth with bare hands and feet.. it's so healing.
ReplyDeleteand i love your painting..the colours..layers..the seed..and those rooting fingers. beautiful x

ReplyDeletewow! I was very interested to see what your response to the challenge would be as your work is so light and whimiscal.....but somehow you have made earthly solid and transparent, light and heavy at the same time and the figure with spread fingers like roots of a tree. Great imagery and depth in meaning.
I love the contrasty photos as well.
I really enjoyed this post Renilde
thnx for popping over to my blog too!

Very strong and deep drawing.
ReplyDeleteso true, and i love the first pictures with the mud :-)
ReplyDeletelove your painting!
It does feel something special digging into the soil in the garden. so satisfying, and yes, so connecting.
ReplyDeletethe kids have been digging holes and filling them with water and enjoying the bliss of MUD!
As always. your painting is gorgeous in earthy colors and I love how the hands and feet are as roots.
I am so sleepy and without many words, but I am moved by your photos and art.
I hope you are well. We are enjoying your paintings in our home now. They make me smile.

just wonderful, so pure and true! love, julia
ReplyDeleteI love this- really captures the emotion of earthy- beautiful colors and idea...plus the playing in the mud! Awesome :)
ReplyDeletePrachtige foto's, prachtig schilderij! Ik hou er ook van om lekker met mijn handen in de aarde te wroeten....
ReplyDeleteLiefs!
Magnificent post, Renilde! The words and the images too - there is a reason we always talk about needing to feel "grounded" or when we are lost or confused in life that we feel "rootless." It is so important to be connected to the earth not just in theories or beliefs, but physically, and you have captured this so well!
ReplyDeleteHiya! I am curious if you have a lot of subscribers to your journal?
