<\/p>\nLots of new, busy things have been happening here (hence the temporary lack of postings). I am currently very occupied with my jobs and am looking forward to a blissful summer and being able to paint full time. A few more months, but for now, trying to squeeze in every bit of creativity, daydreaming and wandering that I can.<\/p>\n
\nSoaking up flower goodness on a rocky, mossy ledge outside of my parents new<\/i> home. Can you soak up the flowery goodness through osmosis? Actually you can eat pansies, they are quite yum!<\/p>\n

\nMy parents have sold our home in favor of a little cottage in the woods of PA, just across the river from our old home. So I can still visit the river and go for walks and wanderings in the area…thats good news!<\/p>\n

\nNow that I see our house, almost empty, I can understand that it’s size and age are really too much for my parents to deal with. The acres of property required mowing, gardens to be tended to, and too many bedrooms for two people. I am happy that they can relax now!<\/p>\n
\nAnd there are little gardens around their new cottage…<\/p>\n

\na peek… \nI have been sketching in my very large bound book, storing up ideas, taking notes and writing about concepts to use very soon.<\/i><\/p>\n \n \nColor and patterns rest on a tray in my studio and are being put to good use!<\/p>\n \n \nI can’t wait for spring proper so I can soak up some sunshine, lay in the grass and go barefoot.
