feeling free

 










hello

It truly feels like we all skipped a year. I remember very little of it, except for the feeling of concern for everyone. I did very little as a whole, living mostly in pajamas. Took an occasional drive on empty roads and came right back home. I escaped into the world of Animal Crossing and enjoyed it thoroughly, playing a full year. That's the longest i've ever stuck with a game!

Then gradually it started getting better. I got out a little wearing a mask. Began eating out some. And although i was afraid at first, i got completely vaccinated. Now i feel free. And i wonder why i didn't do more during the past year. No flowers were planted, no walks , no daisy picking, no blogging, no painting.

But this spring i've come alive again, doing all the things i missed. Picked daisies, planted flowers and even found a little grass snake to hold. I've also begun to paint regularly and walk.
These four girls I painted this week. They are small , 5x7, but i'm really happy with how they turned out and will be making more of them.

lots of spring

 










 

lots of spring is happening and lots of art too.
with this year came schedule changes
and brandnew classes so i've been busy.
i'm loving Lifebook 2017!
learning new techniques, using new materials
all from wonderful
artists online.



             i look forward to my emails each week now.
it's everything my introverted self
could want, staying home and painting.
i don't think I've made this much art in 3 months ever.
 
and spring... sigh...
i really love it. though i am disappointed
with winter. we had very little cold
  and hardly any snow.
i'm loving the wildflowers and moss, and the green popping up everywhere, the trees blooming adding color.
the cool wind, birds singing, water rushing...sigh.
content.
