Kripalu View

Kripalu a center for yoga and health is situated in the western Berkshires of Massachusetts. People come from all parts of the country and world and all walks of life to pursue personal growth, cultivate health and wellness, learn practical life skills,explore creative pursuits,delve into spiritual practices,develop professional skills, renew and revitalize.

I went to the Yoga and Painting workshop and experienced Kripalu. Each day I took in the OUTSTANDING view. Most of the time that I painting it was outdoors which is quite different than my usual studio experience.

Here is the view from Kripalu that I created in pastels, a medium I have not used since childhood. It was a moody day which made the Washingtonian feel right at home!

Back to Painting

Recently I have just returned to painting after a couple of months sabbatical. Actually this painting was on my drafting table before moving into my house. What is really great is that my studio is part of my living space. Each day I pass by my work in progress and can get ideas as to where to go next with it. This one spent far to long in the "where to go next" process.



I am not sure it is done........


In a couple of days I am off to see the colors on the East Coast. A first for me! I have signed up for a workshop at Kripalu entitled "Painting and Yoga in the Berkshires" with Linda Novick, an artist, art eductor, and certified professioal- level Kripalu Yoga teacher.

Check back to see what paintings evolve from this experience.
