We Are Stardust

By Tamara Laporte  |   in art journal  | Tags: art musings , art journal , tamara laporte , Willowing Arts  

By popular request, we’ve reopened
the 30% off coupon for Kaleidoscope 2023! 

Blessings on your day sweet friend! I just finished a new lesson for Kaleidoscope 2023 and when sharing the painting on social media loads of people wanted to learn how to paint it! So, as this is a lesson on Kaleidoscope 2023, I decided to reopen the 30% off discount, for a limited time, for this colourful course! YAY! 🤩😍🤩

USE CODE: COLOR23 to join this super popular course which is all about celebrating the world and its beauty and you learn about everything COLOUR!

(Offer expires on 29th October 2023)
This lesson will be published on 1st of November! Join Kaleidoscope 2023 here if you want to learn how to paint a painting like this:

 

 

I want this painting to inspire both awe and gratitude for the universe we live in. We will use a beautiful high contrast analogous-complementary colour scheme to create a captivating painting that embodies the essence of a little girl, representing all of humanity, reaching out to the expansive sky.

I’ve named this lesson ‘We Are Stardust’ partially as a reference to the song ‘Woodstock’ but also as a reminder that:

  • Every atom in our bodies was once part of a star. We are, quite literally, stardust, emphasising our innate connection to the universe and its wonders. We are all cosmically connected.
  • A fun tidbit: did you know that there are more stars in the universe than grains of sand on Earth?! How crazy is that? We live in an amazing vast universe, let’s celebrate this!
Sign Up Here for
Kaleidoscope 2023

This song has been on repeat for the last 3 weeks or so. It`s so achingly beautiful and heart breaking, had to record my own version of it! I love harmonising with myself. Playing the piano and using a mic however, meant that it overwhelmed the voice a bit, will do that differently next time. ♥️♥️♥️ Best listened to on headphones.
The song is by `Novo Amor`. Here are the lyrics:
"Repeat Until Death"
Low, a part of me now
A palm to my mouth
I said it, almost
Snow, brother, I`ll bet it all gold
Shudder with blood in my nose
I had it almost
Don`t go, you`re half of me now
But I`m hardly stood proud
I said it almost
Oh, I`ve been low
But dammit, I bet it don`t show
It was heaven a moment ago
Oh, I had it almost
We had it almost
Oh, I can`t seem to let myself leave you
But I can`t breathe anymore
Oh, I can`t seem to not need to need you
I can`t breathe anymore
♥️

I had discarded this journal spread a while ago as “not good enough” and now I’m like: “heh? I really love this!” So funny how your own view of your own art can change so much after a while. Not finished yet but I like it as it is. 😊

Looking at more old journal pages! These are from around 2016/17 I think! 😊 The ‘one word’ thing has always been there for me. What I do when journalling; I draw/ paint/ scribble and then usually there is some kind of overwhelming emotional state that can be summarised or reflected in one word, so you often see words like: ‘open’, ‘stay’, ‘compassion’, ‘surrender’ on my journal pages. Like messages/ reflections from ‘my higher’ self. 😊
