Skywatch Friday: Open Possibilities

Taken on a perfect Autumn day in Provincetown, Mass.

It proves that possibilities are endless if we remember to look up ;)

Happy Skywatch Friday!

Thankful Thursday: Picking up the pieces

I have received so many loving gifts in the past few weeks. They've come in the form of atc's, cards, letters, art supplies and phone calls all from my wonderful blogging friends who know I've been down and who have all tried to buoy me up.

I don't have time to scan all of these wonderful things and post them individually because I'm still in the middle of the latest giant mess. (Cleaning up raw sewage in my kitchen and bathroom from a freak plumbing incident while we were sleeping!)

What I will do is this. I will refuse to keep my tail between my legs and whimper any longer. I'll dig deep into my reserves and find my sense of humor and the lesson in all this madness. I will not let the actions of one psychotic landlady to break my spirit. I will remember that by nature I'm a kind and loving person but shit happens to good people too.

Today I'm saying enough is enough. I'm digging through my boxes and taking out my art supplies and dammit I'm going to make some art!

So please forgive my lack of posts and comments on your blogs. Know that I treasure every good thought and gift you've sent my way. Little by little I'll get on track and show up like I used to. Hang in there with me.

When I count my blessings, (and there are many) my faithful blog friends are among them. You know who you are ;)

Okay then. Back to life as I knew it!

xoxoxo

Illustration Friday: Unbalanced

This really doesn't look anything like the idea that was in my head!

Oh well, let's just say I killed some time playing with paint and colored pencils.

Perhaps I'm the one that's a bit unbalanced!

I love it when the sky reflects in puddles!

Animal Wednesday: Caroline's Journal Page

Many of you know that there are nine of us ladies from around the world making art journals in a group started by Soulbrush. We call ourselves the Artysoulsisters! We pass the journals along so each one of us does a page in each book, some with themes and some without but all are fun and challenging.

Caroline's theme is about colors and textures but somehow a raven snuck into mine. Go figure! He looks very content, don't you think? Well, there's a good reason for that.

This is what Raven found in his search across the globe.

What can it be?

And so it is.

May we all continue on our journies with passion and purpose.

Please click here to see the other journal entries. They're so much fun!

Happy Animal Wednesday everyone!

Cactus Monday: View from Fanizzi's

There's a restaurant (Fanizzi's) in Ptown where we had a super brunch with a spectacular view of the beach. Ouside they had wonderful pots of Mums and ornamental cabbages. I used my creative license to add cactus and put the arrangement on the table! Happy Cactus Monday!!

Quick sketch while having coffee in my new studio. Wooo-hooo!
