Painted Ladies

“PAINTED LADIES” are featuring on the podcast this week. They originate from Studio 311, in Winnipeg’s Historic Exchange District. This building is a grand old dame who was part of the exponential growth of Winnipeg at the turn of the 20th century. Winnipeg has her own identity despite being known then as both the gateway to the West and the Chicago of the North. 

 

This neighbourhood with its historically preserved warehouses, stars in their own right, have shared billing with Brad Pitt and Casey Affleck. “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford” was filmed just outside our windows and transformed 2007 into the wild west virtually overnight. 

 

I introduce you to my habit of rescuing Australiana and the transformation of a brittle bundle of sticks into a cheeky and energetic still life that marked the end of a chapter.

 

We learn that not everything is for sale and that art can just as easily be a gift to ourselves.

The meditation begins at 11:11.

It is an invitation to find our own rhythm where nothing is forced, nothing is extended, nothing withheld. I hope you will join me on this interior journey seeking peace.
