Thought for today…

When the energy is there for something really good, but the habit is to block and doubt it. The trick for me is to take a walk gently think about the resistance, and think about the excitement and the energy of the new project, and focus gently on giving prevalence to the excitement of the new project and not the resistance from old habits.

Does this resonate?

PS Spot the non-sacral (projector) being trying to show excitement LOL!

✨ Out in the Wolds, I've been walking with ink and paper — letting the land draw through me.

There's something about standing in the path, not just observing it, that changes the way I see it. This sketch came from that moment. A crossroads. Trusting intuition, letting go of trying to "get it right."

I’m back in the studio now, but the fields are still with me. The wind, the birdsong, the old tracks underfoot — they’re in my heart now.

This new series is growing from that place. Wild. Rooted. Quietly alive.

Still absorbing .... no painting yet, but this is the real work - before the paint even gets out of the tube.

🌿 Walking as Practice
Each step lately has felt like a soft arrival. No rush, no endpoint — just the rhythm of the land underfoot, and the quiet company of nature.

I’ve been walking the old paths through the Yorkshire Wolds, letting them work their slow magic. The fields, the skies, the simple act of following where the track leads — it’s been gently rewiring something inside me.

This is where the next body of paintings begins. Not in the studio, but in the soil. In stillness. In sanctuary.

A few thoughts from this morning‘s walk about the subtle difference between appreciation and gratitude. Let me know what you think.

Have a wonderful day, love you lots.

New work now on my website

New work now on my website

Yesterday’s work.

There is a very special piece of land for me that’s located in a triangle in the Yorkshire Wolds of about 5 miles x 4 miles x 3 miles.
Several times a year I come here to find the perfect view. Spring is great when you have the rape fields and the hedgerows all in flower. Summer sees the fields ripe with wheat and the autumn colours are spectacular.

It’s a very little known part of the world, and you can drive or walk for an afternoon and hardly see anyone especially on a Wednesday!

So here’s what I did yesterday - filled the inspirational well up with sketches absorbed the colours, sounds, feelings of the place. Today will be more of a studio day when I’ll work these into some paintings. But before I could do that, I had to spend a day absorbing, being porous.

This isn’t just a painting workshop. It’s a wake-up call to your creative power.

We’re done with perfectionism.
We’re done with “not good enough.”
We’re done waiting for the right time.

If you've ever felt the pull to create—even if it scares you—this is your space.

Three days. Real paint. Real freedom. Real you.

You’ll be guided by me, Helen Elliott—artist, mentor, creative catalyst—with over 25 years of experience helping people crack open their creativity and reclaim their voice through art.

Whether you’re a beginner or ready to reignite your creative fire, you’re welcome here.

What to expect:

🎨 Gentle, powerful art instruction that meets you exactly where you are

🌈 Safe space to express, explore, and maybe even surprise yourself

🌀 Release of self-doubt, fear, and the “shoulds”

💫 Deep connection to your own creative rhythm—and others walking this path

🌿 West Wales beauty to inspire every brushstroke

One past participant said:

"Attending was quite simply the best thing I have done for myself in many years."

And that’s what this is: a gift to yourself.
.
.

Non- painting partners and dogs are very welcome.

Luxury accommodation and evening meals available too.

Sitting here in Llangrannog about to do some sketching and also thinking of you, lovely reader.

This is a diagram of my process of teaching art over the last 15 years.

The top bit of the iceberg is the techniques and materials, the practical skills. Easily learnable in a few days.

The bottom part with the Q - the biggest part by far, the the part we need to make us creative, inspired, effective and resourced as artists.

What is it ? it and why the Q?

Quite simply it’s the skills that we learn around self awareness that lead to creative alignment with our true selves.
Without this it really is just paint and paper.

The Q is because this huge resource is accessed by learning how to ask the right questions of ourselves that open doors to understanding:
- How to create and keep confidence in our work.
- How to work creatively with our self criticism and self belief.
- How to find and follow aligned inspiration.

And much, much more. And the beautiful part? As we paint, we create and the right questions naturally arise.
It’s never just paint and paper.

LLANGRANNOG

I've been painting Llangrannog for over two decades now, and the place still enchants and fascinates me. There's so much natural beauty, whatever the season. Wildlife, coastal flora, spectacular scenery, and the freshness of the wild Atlantic ocean cast a spell that's hard to ignore.

This year, 2025, I'm drawn more than ever back to this beautiful place and have already started work on a new series of paintings celebrating this historic Ceredigion coastal village.

Back in the studio now after I was drawn coastward for a few days….. to familiar places and many happy memories. Sandy toes, a sketchbook, and a soul full of seashore - my happy place, which I look forward to sharing with you in these paintings.

Currently, there are eight in progress. You can follow their development on this dedicated web page https://www.helenelliott.net/about-4

Creativity is necessary because it’s a release valve for the soul. It allows us to process the world, make sense of emotions, and connect with something bigger than our day-to-day concerns.

Even if it doesn’t produce anything "useful" in a conventional sense, it nurtures inner balance, which then ripples outward into everything else — relationships, decisions, energy, even business.

It’s like dreaming while awake — seemingly aimless but essential for integration and evolution. Without creativity, we risk becoming too utilitarian, too boxed in by logic or routine.

Creativity isn’t just play. It’s alignment. A way of coming back to our own rhythm and truth.

It’s not just about the paint, (although that is a wonderful metaphor for how we create our life). It’s about the person we’re becoming when we’re painting.

if you’d like to join me for more creating art and creating life, I’ve got a three day in person workshop coming up at the end of the month here in West Wales. Details on my website or you’re welcome to message me.

A lovely day in West Wales and I'm going to Llangrannog to visit a new shop there and to walk Albie, have some lunch by the sea and of course do some sketching.

Each year I seem to be drawn to painting a certain beach along the area of the West Wales coast where I live. Llangrannog has been off the radar for a few years, but this year it's the fourth time I've visited already, so Llangrannog this year - it's you!

I'm planning some new paintings, and some beach classes... watch this space.

🌟create your art ... create your life

Come find the magic within you and your art. In-person artist retreat West Wales 27,28,29 April

"Attending was quite simply the best thing I have done FOR ME in many years. The environment was warm, relaxed and nurturing. Helen's approach was so gentle I felt able to completely 'let go'. I totally embraced her methods and loved the vibrancy of the acrylic paints we used. I worked on a huge canvas and didn't use a paintbrush at any point - just my hands, stamping tools, dripping inks, spraying water, sponges, wet wipes and even some wire wool. It was SO MUCH FUN. I didn't want the workshop to end and when home time came I was absolutely buzzing. I had created a large, vibrant piece of art from my soul, full of energy and electric colours. I felt proud and happy.” Clare
