Day 89 - Finally

Watercolor
I am caught up with my posts. I kept painting and drawing everyday but could not always find the time to post. So here it is. The actual 89th day. I'm off to belly dancing with the girls!

Day 88 - Friday

Watercolor, Venice, Italy 2006
The weekend is here. So many things to HAVE to do and all I'd like to really do is paint all weekend. We'll see what happens. Happy Friday everyone. I am taking a break from the difficulties of life today and going to just enjoy myself. Back to worry and warts tomorrow.

Day 87 - Weekend

Unfinished Watercolor
It is finally upon us. It feels already like it's going to be too busy as there are many demands on my time. I have a lot of work to do for my grad course, and the yard needs a start and I want to cycle in Goshen and there are friends to see. How will it all get done? One foot in front of the other...

Day 86 - Son

Watercolor
I just love talking to my son. He makes me laugh more than anyone and I learn something about life from him each time we are together. I am working on a Flash movie about him and hope I can finish it in 28 days (which is the name of the movie). He is and has always been my joy. Again, life is good.

Day 85 - Change

Watercolor
Julia Cameron in The Artist's Way says that when we are faced with impending change that we fight it with everything in our being. We tend to resent the pain no matter what gain it brings us. Anger boils up, revealing to the blocked artist that change is coming - the anger shows it. She says it is the firestorm that signals the death of our old self and propels us into our new one. Anger can be a tool if used wisely, but ultimately all is best when anger has subsided. The Bible says to Be angry but not to let the sun go down on our wrath. Good advice.

Day 84 - Dating

Very strange. Enough said.

Day 83 - Massage

Watercolor
The week has been unusually stressful, but I got to have dinner with a friend last night and today I am getting a massage. Relationships themselves (good ones) can be like a massage to an aching back - comforting, stress relieving and just generally good for the soul. Back to work after work on my back!
