My artzy fartzy nature has been severely cramped over the past year while building a new house. I’m at the tail end of a ten-day getaway and am grateful for this stolen bit of time that fed that part of me.
- I finished one book and started another.
- I took a bucket load of photos with my Samsung phone camera. Met my goal to become familiar with this tool.
- I continued the struggle to perfect a favourite poem that just won’t quite come together (yet). A labour of love.
- I’m working on a short story triggered by a dream (what could be more fun).
- And yesterday I worked through this water colour mock up on canvas board of one of my photos that I want to paint BIG with lots of texture and layers in acrylics. It will be the inaugural piece when my studio in the new house is finished.
I am full again!!! Woo Hoo!
Home tomorrow and back to the construction zone …

Thanks, Gilly. I wish you were in my backyard so we could paint together in my studio … you’d discover what you forgot as a child … that you can paint!

How wonderful to hear that your heart was nourished and your soul was free to relax and create! That will be a wonderful piece both to create and then to enjoy once you are finished. Hope you are stoked for the next round of the construction. It will be worth it!

Thanks, Janet. I have several months to go including selling current house and moving, but I feel very ready for it all!
