Jesus on my dreams

Lately I've been dreaming a lot. I feel I am releasing loads and loads of patterns that do not serve me anymore. Things are changing, can you feel it?

The new energies are here to expand the consciousness of planet Earth, so releasing is part of the process, so we can be ready for this new era. On my latest dream I saw me painting Jesus and I wake up with this idea so present in me, that the only thing I could do was to go to my studio and paint.

Inspiration, joy, flow was what I felt connecting with Christic energy, a blessing.

These are the first canvas I paint in more than one year, well it worth the wait!

If you are interested in any of this Jesus original paintings please send me an email. 

With each one I will offer a "Life purpose" reading ✨

Intuition and purpose

One of my favorite ways to work my intuition is with oracle cards. Make an intention or a question and take a card. This card is the your answer and will give you insights about what you need to know. I make this practice daily so I can connect with my intuition and Guides. One question that I love to make is " What do I need to know ? This way you are opened to receive what you need more than what you want 😉 and in my perspective what serves you the best ✨
My card for today is The Divine Director - intervention and purpose - this card reminds you that your divine purpose on Earth is to remember love and do what makes you happy. The Angels are working with you and you are receiving divine intervention that support your true function and live in purpose.
You can even light a candle to your life purpose, so it manifests in a perfect way for you.

In the picture you can see I have a tiny altar on my studio, with crystals, flowers and candles, the perfect sacred space for you to connect with your soul and put the messages to guide you during the day.
Creating sacred space is to inviting the Divine in your life and to remember that there is no separation between both worlds. We are one!

Oracle cards from kyle Gray - keepers of the light ( I love this deck )

Really excited with my vacations, our family is flying to Portugal next Friday and I can't wait to see the sea again and relax on the beach. Is going to be sooooo good!

Little reminder- today is the last day to get that fabulous promotion to make a "Heart whispers session" for only 5€

Expect miracles

"True abundance is feeling worthy enough to believe beyond what you can see. Expect miracles and they will manifest"

 Sarah Prout

When you expect abundance, you are allowing the flow of prosperity to flow through you and guess what, you will see abundance everywhere even in the tiniest things 🦋

This is the the Butterfly 7 of my March project "A butterfly a day"

Painting butterflies

Continuing my demand, on creating butterflies during the month of March.

This is the Butterfly number 3.

In the first 2 butterflies, my inner-child wanted to play and be relaxed about it and sometimes, you just need to start, in a simple way and with what you have in the moment and that's o.k, to make some changes on the way.

When you start walking your path, more awareness will be presented  to you. 

You'll receive inspiration more in tune of what you want and what your purpose is.

 This is what spreading your wings is all about. 

Setting an intention + starting + clarifying what you want = awareness + potential 

Compassion and love in a transformation process, are the most precious tools you can use. 

Allowing yourself to flow in a easy way, step by step and make the changes you need.

  I started this project to stay focused on my intention.

" To spread my wings and embrace my gifts with purpose"

Doesn't matter what you do, but finding an excuse to grow and expand through focusing on your goals.

You can write, paint, say affirmations, run, doodle, make list of things you are grateful for.

Just listen where your heart wants to go, and give it some time everyday.

"Listen to the wind in her soul...let it take you where your heart wants to go"

For sure something will happen, for sure something good and in the end you will be beautiful and

 happy that you do it and your wings will be ready and you will fly!

Make sure you connect with me on Instagram @susanatavaresart

I am sharing time lapses with me painting and drawing and you check all the butterflies.

Butterfly blessings to you

Much love

I believe it's a fairy! - watercolor painting

I have a deep connection with our beautiful planet and nature.

In my new home, it's such a privilege to see the greenery around me.

Every morning I bless the day and say hello to the trees, 

the plants and the elementals and I thank them for all the work they do and I ask them,

to bring pure positive energy, fun and creativity into my day.

 

I believe this words of simply saying thank you, makes all the difference.

You start your day in a intentional day, you are saying what you want in your day and acknowledging 

the beauty and power of this planet.

It always served me to appreciate the world around me, a beautiful circle of giving and receiving.

"To me, being spiritual means...

Whispering to trees,

Laughing with flowers,

Falling with love with sunsets,

Consulting the water

And worshipping the stars.

One hand to my heart. 

One hand to the Earth. 

And sparkles. Tones of them."

Tanya Markus

 

Did I say, I believe she is a fairy!

Watercolor muses

Muses are flying around my studio lately

 and I feel so honored with their presence and inspiration they bring to me.

These muses are connected with nature, flora and fauna, so they inspire the natural beauty and colorful shades of paint.

I always use my intuitive skills to paint. 

I like to feel the inspiration come to me first and then follow that instinct to start to create.

Feeling the flow of inspiration is the best thing ever, so much fun, so much focus. 

Start with one color and then the other, seeing the watercolor moving and turning into shape and new colors burning from the process. Ohhh my the best thing ever!

My idea with this new muses is to make an exhibition let's see what happens.

Please let me know what you think about them.

My new mini class Heart whispers is up, check the info here

Whisking you a great weekend 

Much love

Art is ride - bird soul large collage

 

 

 

I have been emerged in art, exploring freedom, letting myself be, what I need to be in the present moment. Allowing myself to make things differently and listen what my inner being has to say. 

Sometimes I really get scared, and the doubts come to my mind, "what are you doing?", my mind asks me repeatedly. Trying to breakdown my free mood. I feel insecure, but I do not answer it and I keep doing with what my heart wants to do. One thing I know, I am expanding! :) 

All these ideas, thoughts and emotions need to be expressed, is stronger than me, I need to do my thing! Even I feel ups and downs simultaneously.

 

So this large collage was a ride. After this, I feel stronger and more confident and proud of myself for doing it, just for the pleasure, just for the love for art, just for the ride.

 

See more pics bellow

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Let me know your thought about it.

Thank you

Much love and light

So much light around you! Creative process

I have been thinking about the creative process and how we can flow with ease through it (more about it on my latest post) and since I practice to first be aligned and feel good and then create, inspiration comes in the most unexpected ways.

Yesterday we decided to go out to lunch and see the carpet flower in the Grand Place here in Brussels. It was a beautiful sunny day, great music on the streets and the food delicious. Everyone was in a great mood, relaxed, expecting the best and when you expect the best, you always get the best, right! 

So I was happy and when I was in the subway to come back home, I was looking around, seeing different kinds of persons, doing different things and when I look at them, I'll start to make tiny stories about them. 

This was a pure creative moment. I was seeing the best part of every person around me,  like their light was touching my soul, so beautiful!!!

Here are some examples :)

So now it's your turn :)

Put yourself in a good mood, catch the subway or go for a garden were you can see people. 

Everyone has light and a beautiful soul, set an intention to see the light of the world. Ohhh God so good!!!!

Now look at one person at a time an see it with the eyes of an angel, just looking for the best. Look into their souls and let their light touch your heart. Let the light of the world be shown to you. Grab a piece of paper and a pen a see what happens.

If you like to share this experience with me, please send me a private message on Facebook or in the comment section below or even on Instagram at @susanatavaresart using the #surrenderincolor.

#surenderincolor is an # created by me to express my love for #art, color and creation. Creating is a way to bring #color and beauty to this world. Without expectation, with an open heart, embracing it in its beauty and be filled with delight. ✨Surrender, express, let go and be surprised.

Use it if you are inspired to do so.

So much love and light around you!

Life changes

It's been a while since I made a blog post and I hope everything is going well with you :)

In these days I am honoring the simplicity of being and integrate this new life change, I am going to make, with my move to Brussels.

We are in the moment searching for our new home, organizing stuff, some to let go ( new life , new stuff, I believe ;) and some to go. While we are trying to figure it out all of this, one day at a time, I have adopted a new Pomerania puppy. Yehhheeiiii!!!! My inner child was asking and Pooh is now our new friend. He is such a joy and Bolota and him are already friends and the kids ohhhhh, they love Pooh so much. He really bring pure positive energy into our home and lots of smiles and laughs :)

Pooh love :) :) :)

Hope

This is Hope.

I can't get enough of painting woman's portraits, is just something it feels so natural to me. I love to be involved in the process of creation and step by step she emerges from shadings of paint and it's always so gratifying to finally meet her :)

This one was sold yesterday on my shop :)

Wishing you perfect moments of creation,

Susana

Painting process - mixed media

Today I am sharing pics from my latest painting. This way you can see the piece growing.

A conversation between paper, paint and my soul.

Enjoy!

In this painting I am using a cardboard as a base for my painting, and I have started with collage, gesso and making some marks with black paint. Then I have made a scketch of my character.

Using here several shadings of greens + pink to paint her face and blue to her hair.

Next step is to add more details and define her face. 

A bunny join the party and I have give more color to the background  with yellow, greens and pinks.

Loving my new color Apple green :)

Using pastels to make marks and define her dress.

Flowers for her hair and a heart for the bunny ( I think he is in love)

Finished with more pencil marks and doodles and a tale for our little friend.

In this painting I think a bunny is in love with a princess... How cute is that!

I hope you feel inspired to create  :)

Love to you
