Recently I have been working on bigger panels, yeah! They do take me much longer and require more stamina. it’s pretty crazy how physical painting can be, especially encaustic. Well, maybe that’s just me and I should hit the gym more often. This piece makes me happy. Especially those blue scribble lines.
The idea of earthing is that when we physically touch the earth, skin to earth, there are benefits to our mental and physical health. The idea is that in that connection, electrical energy from the earth rebalances our own. I don’t know if that’s true. But I do know that I feel better when I am gardening. Since I was a kid I loved to be barefoot in the grass. I think most of us intuitively know this and seek it out. Some of the research on this is fascinating though.
