“Remember Your Breath” is one of my art poetry paintings from 2020. I painted almost daily that year, and would paint intuitively what I felt at the time. I love these colours and this composition, and I wrote the words “remember your breath” on the painting so I had a visual to remind me to slow down and take some deep breaths. With the way covid could affecting one’s breathing, I felt the timing of the art fit in my life. I often hang my paintinga or prop them up on my fireplace after painting the first few layers, so I can decide how I want to complete them the following days. This painting still resonates with me and I’m grateful to have a photograph/print of it. I tried to paint it again and emulate myself-and although the second painting was beautiful, it didn’t compare to the feeling I had painting the first.
