veriditas: by krista holland



the first thing i need to tell you about this piece is that it's krista holland's first attempt at painting. her first attempt! if this is just her beginning, i can't wait to see what her attempts look like a year from now, because this is just so lovely.

veriditas means "green truth or the greening of the mind," and krista says:

"one of my greatest experiences of true abundance is when i'm gardening and working with the plant kingdom. it's awe inspiring to see all the amazing things that arise so prolifically from natures abundance. this is my first attempt at painting and i'm hoping to continue to develop this art form as another means of expression, abundance and meditation."

krista is a landscape designer and yoga teacher as well as a budding artist, and you can learn more about her on her blog, luminous life.

*thank you, krista! we can't wait to see your future paintings!*

  2. Wow! First attempt! Very impressive. I find it interesting to see how "non artists" sometimes already have found their vision before they ever even attempt to paint.

    As someone who has been an "artist" since before I could read, I know how long it took me to figure out what it was I wanted to say. I went all the way through school without understanding what art meant to me. And then it took me years... uhm... decades after school when I was exploring on my own to begin to understand. And I'm still learning about art and my self and my vision.

    Sometimes it really does take living to find it all.
