. Room With A View :: Color Study . #whenimnotinthestudio . There’s a real creative energy that springs up in the Fall. The weather can be temperamental, the leaves are changing every day, and the sun goes to bed earlier every evening. The evening light is easy to bathe in, because it now creeps up around dinner time, and the sunrise is awarded to even the latest of snoozes. The crisp air can both sting the lungs and cool them in the same day. . As an athlete, you balance the question of “do I start cold or hot?” and “should I take a jacket for the down?”. Autumn keeps you on your toes and focused on the feelings - how cool is the air compared to the strength of the sun, are those clouds coming with rain, how is it the light beams through the forest are both stunning and momentarily blinding, and is that root as slippery as I think it is? . All these things, both physical and visual, are aspects of life I aim to capture in my artwork. It’s an ever moving target that keeps me curious and engaged... a playful game of chase. . Here’s to you Fall, in all your various shades. . #behindthebehind #goodtimesoutside #alwaysgoodtimes #skidavida #onlyinwhistler @mec @gowhistler 📸: @verena.koenig (at British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn6hCWNl-9d/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=g38o658mbbtm

. Down By The Riverside :: Single Line ((Zoom In)) #getoutoftownvibe . Mornings at camp usually involve coffee, a stretch, and a single line drawing. I’ve been asked how I create these drawings so I’ve broken down the steps. . HOW IT IS MADE: First: touch the pen to the paper and don’t lift it up until the full composition is laid out. It’s one train of thought, one moment, one single line. Next: Detailing- work to accentuate and flesh out the drawing by adding shading and details to the line work. Final: Compare - does the drawing feel like the moment you are within. Document, and onto the next. . They’re somewhat quick, and I try not to overthink them. Working in this way keeps me from overanalyzing the art process. I’m trying to work within the subconscious and get out of my own way. . I’m on the road to Nelson to spend a bit of time wandering the woods and creating art up at @baldfacelodge. This drawing is from a great little spot I found to camp down by the river just outside Penticton on the way. . #behindthebehind #betweenthepoints #jessagilbertart #goodtimesoutside #alwaysgoodtimes @visitpenticton @mec (at Penticton, British Columbia)

Hi there. When you listed Kardia as the word of the day, you mentioned that it could also be related to the depths of the sea. I'm interested in more information on this as I cannot find this referenced anywhere else. Can you enlighten me as to how it relates to the depths of the sea? Thank you.

Of course. For my Word of the Day, I always use Perseus (along with my personal English to Greek and Greek to English dictionaries) for definitions, and Perseus always lists examples of where certain words are used and how. 

In this particular case, it cited kardia used to refer to the depths (or “heart”) of the sea, in Ezekiel, Chapter 27, verse 4 (it’s actually a fairly pretty verse). It still has the same meaning, of course, being the heart, the center, etc. But in conjunction with the word for sea (thalassa), it referred to the heart of said sea, better translated as the depths. 

I hope this helped!
