THE SEVEN PLANET TREES CALENDAR
During a painting workshop in Austin Texas in June 2014, nine individuals came together to paint the seven planet trees. These students of Gerard Wagner’s way of working methodically with Rudolf Steiner’s painting renewal impulse, to Paint Form from Color, worked for seven days to created the planet tree paintings. These paintings were collected to create the Seven Planet Trees Calendar which includes the painting indications. This was a very challenging workshop. To paint seven paintings in seven days is no easy task. The students also had the choice of using Stockmar watercolors, Plant Color Paste, or Plant Color Pigment. For anyone who has tried working with plant colors, this is also a challenge. This project was funded by the Rudolf Steiner Charitable Trust.
