A Studio Visit

One of the most precious and inspirational people in my life

is my old high school art teacher David Carlin, who is now a dear and cherished friend.

 

 

Now and than we have a date for coffee which is usually followed up by some time

in his studio, which we affectionately call 'The Hobbit Hole".  He's beyond talented, imaginative,

intelligent, nurturing & caring & I feel so very lucky to have him in my life XO.

Things I Need & Growth Underway

I've been realizing with much quicker clarity these days

that I mostly just need simple things.
Such as days where I care and dote on animals...at present time that's 8 sweet rabbits.
I need, no matter what we're doing, as much time as possible with my beautiful bearded hon bun.
I need days and nights full of time for making joyful and whimsical things.
I need calmness and time to take care of myself and my head pain.
I need time to make our sweet sanctuary of a home cozier day by day.
I need abundant beauty which encompasses a whole whack of lovely things such as beautiful music
tinkling through the house, inspirational books that make my heart tingle, time by & on the water,
slow mornings with good coffee, healthful vegetarian fare to eat, time with my folks, etc....
because all these things are as necessary as air to my lungs.
 

 

 Now more than every I am acutely aware that I get to live things all things

pretty much every single day...if I go about my days smartly...

sure some days are more successful in time well spent than others but hey,
there's always going to be a learning curve!

 

This new picture I have underway is about growth

especially growth from the pain we all suffer...

growth from all the sore, bruised and raw heartache that we all go through in some form or another.

and whiles I work on it and relive that raw pain of not just loosing a soul bunny

but from other crap going on in life...

I am reminded of my big simple priorities....

and I am reminded that I grow to love all that simple good stuff more so because of the bad times.

I feel lucky....

I feel like I am growing into a continually more peaceful place in my life...

and ya know what else? I really can't wait to show you the finished piece.

Studio Sunsets

I love the part of the day where I am all snuggly cozy at my coloured pencil desk,

which overlooks our front yard and the quiet court that we live on.

The sun starts to go down & I look forward to our evening routine beginning...
 

 

...I bask in the last delicious minutes with my colours for the day...

I bask in the beauty of that setting sun & hopefully also in a studio day well spent....

ahhhhhh....little things...as always.

Hummingbird & Snail

I made the cutest little hummingbird and snail recently...

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hop over on Wednesday to see what mixed media they ended up on.
