It&#8217;s weathered gray with a tamarack tree gracing the cover. I pulled it out of my vintage book pile and put it on my desk as a reminder to do something with it. As I looked down to admire the cover again there was a rainbow illuminating near the tree, shining down from a sunbeam through a crystal in the window .<br \/>\nSo now that&#8217;s its super chilly I have been in work mode painting up a snow storm. So far I am on my second painting. It feels really great to paint little detailed scenes.  The more I paint the more detailed I become, which is wonderful because it allows me to enter the painting. The theme for now is women immersed in nature in a soft color scheme. Its all very similar to the tiny work I have been creating in my moleskine, but larger and on canvas. I am working hard to get a grouping together and I wish to make prints to sell, hopefully in an etsy shop.<br \/>\nI wish to update this journal more&#8230;more photos!<br \/>\nI am painting in acrylic which I love but I have an itch to switch to oil, maybe just once. I love the smell.<br \/>\nI find myself working on the floor these days, in bare feet but right next to the radiator. Maybe that&#8217;s why I desire oils. Acrylics dry so fast, especially next to a heat source.<br \/>\nIt was eight degrees today on my way to work this morning.<br \/>\nMy head is warm at least! And yes, I took my grandma sweater off for the photo!<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sarahblankstudios.com\/images\/blog\/070206_1.jpg\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sarahblankstudios.com\/images\/blog\/070206_2.jpg\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday I discovered the most lovely book cover.
