These were my demo paintings from the May 4th Express Yourself: Painting & Yoga for Women workshop.

The process is a simplified combination inspired by the various approaches I've learned through Flora Bowley and Whitney Ferre, as well as other process painting processes .... with a little yoga and coaching for seasoning.

It's all about enjoying the process!

Picking framed pieces up from the framers always feels a little bit like Christmas to me. I want to change up my art work displayed at Brookside Gallery for Friday's Grand Opening. So many choices ... decisions, decisions!

A Lovely Day in St Andrews By the Sea

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of leading the "Express Yourself: Painting & Yoga for Women" workshop at the Sunbury Shores Arts & Nature Centre in St Andrews.

Here are the lovely ladies I got to play with. I am proud of them for embracing the process to create their unique and wonderful paintings. 

A special treat yesterday was spending time with Cara Coes, the Director of Operations at Sunbury Shores. Cara and I did our 200 hour yoga teacher training together, so it was wonderful to be together again. Thank you, Cara!

Testimonials from the workshop included:

"We had a fun time. I am glad that I chose to take this course." MO, Chamcook, NB 2013

"Donna is very open and soft spoken. Her guidance and caring nature throughout the painting process and yoga practice made the day exceptional and the ability to let go and be in the moment was delicious." CC, Saint John, NB 2013

"Thank-you for an amazing day ...blending creativity, painting on canvas and gentle yoga. When I arrived home I was singing..... energized.... so full of prana from the experience. The one thing I loved about the day is I could of invited many of my friends who have no yoga or art experience and I know they would of loved it!!!!" AAB, Lakeville, NB 2013

"Thoroughly enjoyed this workshop! Would recommend it to all ages and any level of experience painting and yoga-wise." JB, St Stephen, NB 2013

I look forward to doing this workshop again very soon.
