THE YOGA CLASSES:
Hi there Students. It is the CUP WEEKEND, but it is still work for me…. There are still yoga classes, and the timetable is still the timetable. If changes are not listed they are not happening..
I am especially gratified by the growing interest and attendance at our RESTORATIVE classes which are tailored to assist healing, rehab and renewal. These sessions are also ideal for those who are experiencing life changes, challenges and those people who have experienced trauma. These classes are especially calming and restful for those presently going through serious health challenges.. You don’t need to be fit, healthy or an athlete. It is called “yoga” but is a yoga you can do too. We can also personally design an experience of Restorative Yoga on a one-to-one basis. For that special gift, vouchers also available in our studio.
You will notice that i have increased the number of RESTORATIVE CLASSES. I also welcome one-on-ones. You may only do a private class once, and then you can join a regular class in a much more positive frame of mind. It works.
EUROPEAN WASP SEASON.
I know all about wasps, I had a huge nest in the walls of the office. Thank goodness we discovered it in time – the wasps had eaten the plaster and all that was between me and them was the layer of paint! It is not unusual. Last year, I discovered a new nest in the ceiling, and about the same time they totally destroyed my bee hive – killed the queen and just took over. This year I am following Jan Strawhorne’s advice (a year or so ago she trapped 300 wasp queens in these traps – she had 30 traps out on her property). She follows a guy called Laurie. Look up “laurielure” on google. He gives detailed instructions for these traps. You need to follow them closely, and make more than one. Remember, wasps travel in a straight line – not like bees. Wasp queens discover new nesting sites and are joined by the rest of the hive. So discard what you know about bees, and think wasp. All you need is soft drink bottles, honey, water and vanilla essence. AND THEY ARE TRIED AND TESTED. If every neighbourhood did this, we would have far fewer wasp invasions. Even if you haven’t been INVADED, hang at least one of these traps to trap what you can. They are not attractive to bees, native or otherwise.
ART HEALS www.jahnehopewilliams.com (new website)
My miniatures are at The Woodend Art Group annual pre-christmas sale. The three that I have included are VAN GOGH’S CHAIR, GAUGAINS CHAIR, and a KLIMT. I am also having a showing of my work at my home gallery/studio on the 25th of November between 2pm and 4pm. If you are interested, please email me and let me know your interest. I even have had people come up to me in the supermarket and at church to let me know they are coming… Just keep an eye on the NEW web site www.jahnehopewilliams.net for their progress.
Below is a miniature of Gaugain’s Chair. there is a matching Van Gogh’s chair. A lovely set. I must say i like miniatures in sets.
KING TUT. The recent use of DNA evidence in art history is very exciting. We are finding out so much more than we have previously even been able to imagine. I have almost completed a miniature (which i will share with you when I have finished it), of the tiny sarcophagus of one of Tutankhamen’s recently discovered still-borne children. Tiny, tiny mummified bodies. I have only painted the child’s face.. Tut was quite a physically deformed pharaoh – a Richard III sort of King . He had a club foot, an outward gait, and a strange spine, due, they have discovered , to the custom of in-breeding which they felt was necessary to keep their “God” bloodline pure. It did the opposite. These deformities meant that he could not safely ride in a chariot and the injuries discovered on his body recently indicate that a chariot accident probably caused his death. They have also discovered that he had two stillborn children by his “sister queen”.
I found it a heartbreaking story, and have done this miniature to remember and mark the birth of not just Tut’s children, but my own three that I lost. Maybe you have had this experience – it doesn’t leave, but we learn to love these children always, even if they are not with us. I don’t know if you have even thought of this, but Tut is only remembered because of his fabulous death mask and funeral stash. Rameses (the Donald Trump of Egypt), totally eradicated all reference of Tut, his queen, his successor and his father. Apart from the still born children there were no living heirs in his direct line. A sad story.

I am still open to teaching on a Saturday morning at 9am. This is a one hour class where I will teach SUMII (Chinese/Japanese) brush painting. The cost of this class is $30. You are most welcome even if you haven’t done this before. It is also a great class for people wanting to work on their brush skills. All materials provided.
MAKE ART MAKE YOGA MAKE MONEY:
No matter if you are an artist of any form, or a yoga teacher in any discipline, like me you need to make money. If like me, you want to give it away that’s terrific (and great fun), but you have to make it first. If you don’t have it, you can’t give it away. There are still some glitches on the site regarding times but you can read the times I have inserted in the course details. www.jahnehopewilliams.net
PRIVATE VIEWING of my art, at my studio on Sunday the 25th November between 2 and 4pm. This will be the first time in years I have held an exhibition in my studio, and it is a preview of the work in the print sets. It will be just like a European “vernissage”. My work, a private view with nibbles and champagne. An art “happening” in the comfort of my studio. Come along, have a look at the artwork, spend time in the garden. A beautiful afternoon talking art (and yoga). If you are interested please contact me. It is a small studio, and the viewing will be by invitation.
