Hah! My website says 'drag your element here' meaning text/image etc :-)
My element is earth (see yesterday's post.)
Have you figured out what yours is? Or have you always known? And does your current lifestyle chime with it?
My second favourite element is air. I like flying, and have done a little gliding and ballooning which I adored. I like flying a kite. My paintings have a lot of empty space in them which I think of as air. Oddly I don't much like the wind (except for the kite flying of course), though a gentle breeze is pleasant. On the west coast of Scotland the air is almost always moving, never stagnant or heavy or stifling. I always feel I can breathe easily. I like that if the air indoors needs freshened we simply open a window, and I love the smell of washing that has been dried outside.
The air here is sweet and pure, as evidenced by the lichens on trees and rocks. There is very little traffic (we are fifteen miles from the nearest small town) and we are not on the flightpath to anywhere important. A little sea plane is the only regular flight to go over and that mostly in the summer months. We had a wonderful flight on it once. Have you time to join us for a couple of minutes of it? (videos 1 and 2) The last few minutes where we came down onto the River Clyde in the middle of the city were the most exciting!
If I could be any kind of animal it would be a bird I think. I have used the image of birds to represent freedom in paintings - a flight of imagination!
Is air your element?
