New Book Release

May 15, 2020 by Cassandra Arnold Leave a Comment

Not often I get to say that!

EXPLODE: poetry for activists

I am so excited to have this out in the world, hopefully spreading a sense of connection to the planet and more beauty! 

“An antidote to climate grief.  A love song for the earth. A balm for the heart.

In this striking collection, Cassandra Arnold speaks simply and powerfully about the love of nature, climate grief, and the need to process our emotions if we are to avoid depression and stay engaged.

Poetry, art and music are our allies in this work, and these words and images will enfold and inspire you.

No matter where you are on the activist path, you are invited to rest here for a while and emerge restored.

ILLUSTRATED WITH ORIGINAL ART BY THE AUTHOR”

EVEN BETTER NEWS – THE KINDLE EBOOK IS FREE RIGHT NOW 

(FRIDAY MAY 15 TO MONDAY MAY 18)

So here is your big chance to make a HUGE difference to whether it is a success. The Amazon algorithm will love it if I get a boost of sales this weekend, and then spontaneously show it to more people, who might never find it otherwise. 

I therefore shamelessly implore you to click the link for your country below and get a copy. Yes, even before you read the rest of this post! I’ll see you right back here when you have it.

I am slowly working on the next novel which is taking longer than I had hoped, but will no doubt be the better for it, and trying to figure out all this marketing!

These authors are kindly promoting my Greenleaf Project novel to their much larger mailing lists, so please click on the images below to take a look. 

Practical Action
Have you started making your own bread yet? Definitely a popular lockdown hobby.
If you want fast results or are restricting carbs and gluten this is for you!
Inspiration
Award Winning Fiction from a great character
I love this from her About Page: when she’s not writing, Sara enjoys attempting to paint while consuming more amaretto sours than she cares to admit

Well, that was a lot about me and my work. How about you? Have you settled into a new rhythm? I know I am finding there are parts of my pre-Covid life that I will not be welcoming back again, and other bits that I miss more and more. Hugs being one of them!

Until next month,

Cassandra

How do we name our paintings?

Which relates for me to why I paint them. I feel like they are embedded stories that hopefully evoke memories and emotions in the viewer.

Sunday afternoon poetry,  hopefully live again next week!
.
Everything nestled and interconnected.  Every tangled thought one breath away from peace.
.
Anyone else experimenting with meditation? I'm starting really small, and loving it.

Process insight.. LOL

This piece was a fun piece of experimenting.  The best process is total play, BUT I  almost always need something like a show call out to get me motivated. I don't always achieve what I am aiming at, but it's like having a starting point,  the grain of sand that irritates the oyster into making a pearl!

Day 11 of #21daysinmyartworld - a turning point.
.
It's a never ending journey for me of learning to trust myself in making art. This one had so much paint on and washed off again! 
.
And then I liked it. I  called it Where the Big One Got Away because looks like a tangled fish/line in the water to me. And mysterious elements please me.
.
It was rejected for a show,  but then, you know, someone bought it, which made me deeply happy as it felt risky when I signed and framed it. 
.
So now I am facing new risks in making things that feel true to me.  I bet it's the same for you.

Day 8 of #21daysinmyartworld. Today is about inspiration, where we get our ideas from.  I took this photo down by the river about a week ago, as it seemed such a great image for something like 'a light bulb moment'. Being in nature helps me relax and enter the creative state.
.
But, actually, it's not often like that for me. I frequently start a blank canvas or paper with a backgound wash and then turn it in all directions to see what it suggests to me, what the painting would like to become. Is it a lake? Mountains? A seascape? An abstract image of a feeling?⁠
.⁠
Alternatively, I see images in my head as I lie in bed at night and then go later to try to make them! Generally, along the way, they might change direction, but it gets me started.⁠
.⁠
Back when I went to live classes (and I really miss that now), I would plan a complicated painting and the teacher would help me inch toward the skills I needed.⁠

Day 7 of #21daysinmyartworld, all about our preferred colour pallettes. I distinctly remember looking around my house a few months into art class and realizing why I gravitated to orange and blue! If you've seen my Sunday poetry videos, I dress like that too!
