Transformed Through a Splash of Colour

Silver Thaw BEFORE

We can all be transformed through a splash of colour.

I love colour. Bright colours. They raise my vibrations and feed my soul.

Rodika Tchi says:

“Color is… nourishing and uplifting, and the more colors you harmoniously absorb throughout the day, the higher your sense of well-being is. Do not be afraid to bring vibrant colors into your space as color is light, and light is our number one nutrient.” Feng Shui Color Guide – How to Use Colors in Feng Shui

Yet in 2014, I’d been inspired to create Silver Thaw (top left – 18″ x 24″) – an iridescent pearl and silver tree piece, whose glass beads refracted the light in a most amazing way.

“Silver thaw” is a common expression here in Newfoundland for what’s also known as “silver frost” or “glitter ice” – that thick shiny ice that covers each blade of grass and twig if the weather is just right for it.  It’s magical to witness.

But almost devoid of colour, this painting never really appealed to me.

Still, I know that I’m often called to co-create a painting with Spirit that’s meant for someone in particular.

Sometimes it takes years for them to meet, but sometimes it happens quickly and surprisingly – like the time I brought a painting I really didn’t like to a fair and it sold while it was still sitting in a box.

I’ve learned to step out of the way.

But earlier this month, I heard whisperings from the corner of my studio.  Silver Thaw was beckoning from within its storage box.

How exciting! I’d thought about adding colour to it a few times in the past, but now the call came from the painting itself. Or perhaps it’s because its future owner needed it…

All I know is that it was ready for a transformation. It needed a splash of colour – a make-over.

And that’s what it got: one more layer in its evolutionary journey.

Nature-inspired, “Silver Thaw” reflects our own simple beauty.

The glass beads on this piece  still infuse it with light.  When you walk by it, it shimmers and changes, reflecting your inner and outer moods.

Take a look around your environment.  Is there a room, a wardrobe, or a meal that’s calling for transformation through a splash of colour? Be brave. Be bold. Nourish your soul…
