Hello,
sweet peas! I’ve been busier than usual lately taking a couple online classes
while keeping up with my household responsibilities. For years I’ve wanted to
take a class from Flora Bowley and, while I would love to attend in person, I’m
thankful for the opportunity to take her online course Bloom True. I love that
we start from a blank canvas with absolutely no intentions of what the final
product will be. This is only the second week so I have no idea as to what my
canvases will evolve to. This is such a different process to me and one that my
soul has desired for so long but the letting go and trusting my intuition
seemed too high of a mountain to climb.
The
following are just a couple starting layers but I really wanted to show you the
area I set up for myself to paint in. I rolled one of my supply carts out of
the way and nailed a canvas drop cloth (from the hardware store) to the wall and
let the excess drape across the floor protecting it and the wall from paint
splatters. I painted a few of my intentions on the canvas as gentle reminders
to let go and have fun.

I’m
also taking Mondo Beyondo which has been on my list for a while and Brave Girls Club Art School Wings Sessions. I should also mention that I completed Creative JumpStart Summit and attended a few various webinars.
Busy,
busy! This past weekend I escaped the raking and bagging of pine straw in my
backyard (11 bags!) for a bit to go to a gem and mineral show. Here are a few
of the goodies I brought home with me:
I added a few new lovely crystals of amethyst, kyanite, apache tear obsidian, rose quartz, a gorgeous selenite tower, and a few pieces of sea glass to my home.
This is a super secret project I'm working on and will share with you soon!

Have a wonderful week!
Hugs,
